TRANSLATOR'S NOTE: There is no book description. Therefore, the below illustrated fragment represents the first part of the Introduction of the book.
Between 1991 and 2015, about twenty-five years or so, we left for Asia for almost twelve months. Each of us had a backpack, fifteen thousand Swiss francs and dreams of elsewhere. We had never left Europe before and we had no idea about what we were going to discover along the way. Where did this desire for elsewhere come from? The one, who has the answer, is a genius. As far as I am concerned, with no hesitation, my desire is to live as an observer, to try to understand rather than to act, to rather exist than to have and not to get entangled in the frigid course of life. From time to time, I have a feeling that I am looking at the world as if I was an alien who had just landed and who had started to carefully take notes on humans’ behaviours without trying to influence them, just like a biologist who studies plants and is amazed by their functionalities, or like a journalist who tries to stay impartial. This way of being on the edge seemingly led me to become a consultant, which further led me to become a journalist and exiled me in Eastern Europe to liberate myself from the burden of taking action.
