Who doesn't know the feeling of wanting to break free, escape the stress and monotony of everyday life, and satisfy their longing for distant countries and landscapes? The annual calendar is filled with appointments, the 40-hour workweek seems to get in the way of everything, and whether the camping equipment that hasn't been used in a long time still works is more than questionable. Jörg Knorr has managed to combine work and adventure. In his book about kayaking trips, he vividly describes how to get started and organize your life around your own dreams, both in far-off countries and in various regions of Germany.
