by Melanie Bertsch (Author)

Experience long-distance hiking first-hand. This is a story about freedom and the challenges of living out of a backpack, liberated from unnecessary baggage. Walking comes natural to us. It is something we do daily without much thought. Yet what happens when it becomes our life's purpose? Are humans even made for walking that much? On a five-month long-distance hike across New Zealand's scenic landscape, Melanie Bertsch, together with her husband Henning, covered a total of 3,000 kilometres. Escape your everyday routine into the great outdoors! Join them on a journey to the other side of the world. Gain insights into the preparations as well as the highs and lows such an adventure entails - including practical, tried-and-tested tips for those who want to follow in their footsteps. Not just another trip to self-discovery but a book about becoming the person we want to be.
