Beautiful wildernesses; tiny budgets; environmentally-friendly… What’s not to like? And it's all accessible right here, without the need for a flight or a big budget. From getting back to nature with a tent, some matches and a few litres of bottled water, to enjoying a pub dinner and camping out in the garden afterwards, this book shows how to get stuck into wild camping in all its forms.

Con una exquisita sensibilidad, Sinay narra un viaje que atraviesa Europa y Asia hasta Japón y, a la vez, retrata algunas de las relaciones amorosas que se dieron en las ciudades que visita, con su propia historia de amor como hilo conductor y con fragmentos sonoros captados por él mismo. Para Javier Sinay viajar no era una aspiración prioritaria. Sin embargo, un día de 2017 metió unas pocas cosas en una mochila y emprendió una travesía desmesurada. ¿El motivo? Una mujer llamada Higashi, su pareja, que pasaría todo ese año en Kioto dedicada a estudiar la ceremonia del té.

Nie kann Doris Dörrie der Versuchung widerstehen, von einer Reise etwas mitzubringen: eine Origami-Schnecke aus Japan, eine Ringermaske aus Mexiko, die Figur einer Reisgöttin aus Bali, Boxerstiefel aus New York oder Borotalco, ein Wundermittel gegen Flecken aus Italien. Nützliches, Krimskrams, exotische Lebensmittel, Zauberutensilien und kitschige Staubfänger. In der Begegnung mit den Dingen erzählt Doris Dörrie auf ihre unverwechselbar persönliche Art vom Leben, Schreiben und Reisen.
