On foot or by plane, all-inclusive or solo - what are we looking for when we travel to other countries? How much new do we want to discover, what do we want to leave behind, how much are we willing to change? Ilija Trojanow has lived on four continents. Drawing from personal experiences, he writes about the meaning and benefits of wandering, combining deep reflection with humor and lightness. In individual stages, he discusses preparations and suitable travel gear, traveling alone or in company, the right provisions, and the dry spells along the way. He covers gibberish and signposts, rooms with a view, and souvenirs. Skillfully, Trojanow connects these themes to mass tourism and the idea of travel as an art form that needs to be rediscovered.
