Weltwundern – Vom Glück, die Orientierung zu verlieren

An inspiring book about a family that sought adventure and found a new way of life. In the summer of 2018, Michaela von Bargen set off on a journey with her husband and their four children. The plan: to travel from Alaska to Argentina over one and a half years in their self-converted truck along the Pan-American Highway. Four years later, they are still on the road and have long transitioned from travelers to expatriates. The family has had to hit the brakes multiple times – a motor failure in San Francisco, a herniated disc surgery in Costa Rica, and finally a pandemic that put all further travel plans on hold. However, a return to Germany is not an option for the six of them. Time and again, they recalibrate their compass. The many ups and downs force Michaela and her family to reflect: How do we want to live in the future? What life models are there? What does security mean to us? At every stage and during every pause, there is also a confrontation with what is truly important, what they can rely on, and whether there is a chance for them in silence.
