"Traveling is Bungee Jumping for the Soul": Helge Timmerberg lived as a global nomad long before the term even existed. He found his calling at the age of seventeen in India, reporting from all over the world, always going all out and trying everything. After his autobiography "The Red Olivetti," he returns with this volume to reports that speak of unbridled curiosity and a passion for being on the move: on the streets where he feels alive - like Barcelona's Rambla, which divides the old town into legal and illegal, good and evil. In Palermo, he writes off exhausting heartbreak. In Fukushima, he experiences profound humility - and in Rio, a spectacular blackout. He searches for a sense of home between Amsterdam, Neukölln, East Westphalia, and the High Atlas, addressing the question of how to quickly transform a hotel room into a home.
