Christine Thürmer - WANDERN TOTAL - Die Welt zu Deinen Füßen
Christine Thürmer, the most hiked woman in the world, has found after over 65,000 kilometers across five continents: Hiking happens everywhere, but always differently.
On her recent trails in Asia, she survived earthquakes, typhoons, and an overdose of kimchi, then pilgrimaged through the European cultural landscape for recovery, and has already struggled through the wilderness of America and the Australian Outback multiple times. Along the way, the globetrotter learned that not only climate and terrain influence the hiking experience, but also eating habits, beauty ideals, and labor laws. In her new show, she compares the outdoor cultures from Chile to Taiwan with funny and thought-provoking anecdotes from 40 countries and shows what we can learn from them.
Where can you hike around a damaged nuclear power plant?
Which outdoor snack is only available as dog food in this country? And why do some hikers look like bank robbers? The four-time bestseller author surprises with unusual tour suggestions and practical tips and answers her audience's questions live. Above all, she lovingly gives couch potatoes and those afraid of adventures a psychological kick in the butt, because she believes: We should all dare to have more adventures! To eliminate any excuses, she works with her audience step by step on how one (and especially women) can overcome the fear of solo tours and spend a night alone in the woods. No matter if you are looking for God, yourself, or your ideal weight: This show of encouragement proves that hiking will always make you happy.
Bio:
When Christine Thürmer was born in 1967, nothing indicated that she would one day become the most hiked woman in the world. In school, otherwise the top of her class, she was a complete failure in sports. So she first made a steep career as a manager before she realized, after an unexpected dismissal and the death of a friend: Time - not money - is the most important resource in life. Completely untrained, she hiked 4,277 kilometers from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail - despite flat feet, bow legs, and being overweight! And that's just the beginning: Since then, she has covered more than 65,000 kilometers by foot, crossed the USA and Europe three times each, and written four books about her adventures. "Running. Eating. Sleeping." about the US trails, "Hiking. Biking. Paddling." about her trips in Europe, "Hiking Long Distances" with her concentrated outdoor know-how, and the tour guide "Around the World in 25 Ways" were on the Spiegel bestseller list for months.
