Die Zukunft der Abenteuer liegt vor der Haustür - Christo Foerster ist DER Mikroabenteurer Deutschlands. Eines Abends packt es ihn: Christo Foerster holt sein Rad aus dem Keller und fährt nonstop von Hamburg nach Berlin. Übermüdet, aber auch überglücklich fährt er am nächsten Morgen durchs Brandenburger Tor und geht mit seinem besten Freund frühstücken. Da ist es um ihn geschehen: Christo hat das Mikroabenteuer für sich entdeckt. Er definiert es als Abenteuer vor der Haustür, maximal 72 Stunden lang, ohne Benutzung von Auto oder Flugzeug.

Mikroabenteuer für alle Jahreszeiten und Wetterlagen - manchmal liegt das Glück gleich vor der Haustür. Es muss nicht immer die Sonne scheinen, bevor wir uns vor die Tür wagen. Warum nicht dann aufbrechen, wenn die Blätter fallen, es nieselt oder uns der Wind um die Ohren bläst? Christo Foerster hat die Mikroabenteuer nach Deutschland gebracht. Spannend und unterhaltsam zeigt er, warum es sich lohnt, das ganze Jahr hindurch nach tollen Erlebnissen vor der Haustür zu suchen.

È proprio così, a Severgnini i viaggiatori interessano davvero: li segue, li osserva, li descrive in modo esilarante, senza però giudicarli o condannarli. "Eravamo turisti. Siamo diventati viaggiatori. Imperfetti, ma viaggiatori" sostiene l'autore. Siamo curiosi, rumorosi, avventurosi, frettolosi, generosi. Leggiamo poco e compriamo troppo. Siamo complessivamente onesti, e giustamente diffidenti. Siamo tolleranti. Mentre gli stranieri che visitano l'Italia si innervosiscono quando s'imbattono in altri stranieri, noi italiani, incontrando altri italiani, festeggiamo l'avvenimento.

C'è chi prepara ogni sua valigia compilando meticolose liste degli oggetti da portare per essere sicuro di non dimenticarsi nulla. C'è chi ci infila dentro roba alla rinfusa all'ultimo minuto. C'è il viaggiatore zaino in spalla, e più è sdrucito e impolverato più se n'è orgogliosi. C'è chi compra un bauletto Vuitton pure per il cagnolino. E poi ci sono le interminabili attese al nastro trasportatore dell'aeroporto d'arrivo, l'ansia che lei si sia smarrita con tutto quello che ci serviva per il viaggio o tutto quello che dal viaggio volevamo riportare a casa.

Se la fata Morgana vive a Bagno a Ripoli e il Diavolo fa i ponti a Borgo a Mozzano, se a Chiusi ci si può perdere nei labirinti di Porsenna e a Firenze bisogna prestare attenzione al quadrilatero della morte, allora bisogna riconoscere che la Toscana è una regione ancora da scoprire e che, dietro l'arte e la cultura di questa terra, esiste un mondo oscuro: un paesaggio dove l'Ulivo del Sabba di Magliano, la spada nella roccia di Montesiepi, il borgo fantasma di Palaia e la volpe d'oro di Poggibonsi sono solo alcune tappe di un viaggio in cui il mistero è l'attore principale.

Homme de famille et homme d'affaires, Bruno Rodi a aussi le voyage dans le sang. Il est probablement le plus grand voyageur vivant en terre québécoise. Il a répondu à l'appel de l'aventure, d'abord en se lançant à l'assaut du plus haut sommet de chaque continent, puis en se rendant au pôle Nord et au pôle Sud en ski. En l'an 2000, il a commencé un tour du monde unique en son genre qui l'a occupé pendant 17 ans. Il a ainsi mis les pieds sur tous les pays, territoires et dépendances de la planète.

Like many Brits, Dick and Angel had long dreamed of living in France, but where others might settle for a modest bolthole in the French countryside, the Strawbridges fell in love with a 19th-century fairy-tale chateau, complete with 45 rooms, seven outbuildings, 12 acres of land and its own moat. Throwing caution to the wind, Dick and Angel swapped their two-bedroom flat in East London for an abandoned and derelict castle in the heart of the Loire valley and embarked on the adventure of a lifetime with their two young children, Arthur and Dorothy.

On September 1, 2004, three middle-aged buddies set out on one of the last geographic challenges never before attempted in North America: to hike the Comb Ridge in one continuous push. The Comb is an upthrust ridge of sandstone-virtually a mini-mountain range-that stretches almost unbroken for a hundred miles from just east of Kayenta, Arizona, to some ten miles west of Blanding, Utah. To hike the Comb is to run a gauntlet of up-and-down severities, with the precipice lurking on one hand, the fiendishly convoluted bedrock slab on the other-always at a sideways, ankle-wrenching pitch.

Laura was in her early twenties and directionless when she quit her job to backpack in Bolivia. Fate landed her at a wildlife sanctuary on the edge of the Amazon jungle where she was assigned to a beautiful and complex puma named Wayra.

They shouldn't have tear gassed best-selling (bald) author Adam Fletcher. It ruined his supposedly normal holiday in Istanbul, made him curious, and began a quest to visit places everyone else is trying to escape from, and tourists don't normally go to. In this hilarious travel memoir, he'll enter a blizzard in China armed with only biscuits; pose as a scientist to sneak into Chernobyl; be chased by Croatian police boats en route to Liberland (the world's newest country); become a reluctant diving board star in a North Korean water park, and much more.

Rick's recent appearance on Ben Fogle's New Lives in the Wild chronicled his budget lifestyle and adventures aboard Calypso, and introduced the idea of budget sailing to a whole new audience - an audience who may have never considered the possibility that such a dream could be made a reality, on such a small amount of money. This book is for them and for any experienced sailors who want to cast off the yoke of consumerist yachting and get back to what really matters at sea.

In 1935, Fred A. Birchmore left the small American town of Athens, Georgia, to continue his college studies in Europe. In his spare time, Birchmore toured the continent on a one-speed bike he called Bucephalus (after the name of Alexander the Great's horse). A born wanderer, Birchmore broadened his travels to include the British Isles and even the Mediterranean. After a lengthy, unplanned detour in Egypt, Birchmore put his studies on hold, pointed Bucephalus eastward, and just kept going.

Survive the unexpected. Statistically, you're more likely to die from a vending machine than a shark. But, Rob Nelson knows many shark survivors.

His wife was sucked by a wave down a blowhole, he was left stranded at sea after a storm sank his sailboat, and the list goes on and on. To Rob, these "improbable" altercations are "random acts of nature," and he's learned how to survive them.

This is the story of Barbara and Larry Savage's sometimes dangerous, often zany, but ultimately rewarding 23,000-mile global bicycle odyssey, which took them through 25 countries in two years. Miles from Nowhere is an adventure not to be missed! Along the way, these near-neophyte cyclists encountered warmhearted strangers eager to share food and shelter, bicycle-hating drivers who shoved them off the road, various wild animals, rock-throwing Egyptians, overprotective Thai policeman, motherly New Zealanders, meteorological disasters, bodily indignities, and great personal joys.
