Christine Thürmer - Wander Woman

The most hiked woman in the world

When Christine Thürmer was born in 1967, there was nothing to indicate that she would one day become the most-traveled woman in the world. She was the best in her class at school, but was a complete failure at sports. So she first had a meteoric career as a manager before realizing, after an unexpected dismissal and the death of a friend, that time - not money - is the most important resource in life.

Completely untrained, she hiked 4,277 kilometers on the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada - despite flat feet, knock knees and being overweight! And that's just the beginning: since then, she has covered 60,000 kilometers on foot and crossed the USA and Europe three times each.
Why does she prefer to prepare for her tours on the computer rather than in the gym? Why does she not wear underwear when she is out and about, but has a garbage bag with her? And what is it about this life that makes her so damn happy? When viewers ask her questions about it live, she doesn't shy away from any answer and even presents her weirdest hiking outfit. With lots of funny, exciting and thoughtful anecdotes, the three-time bestselling author describes her journey from couch potato to long-distance hiker and her everyday outdoor life as a woman traveling alone. There are also amazing practical tips, tour ideas from Brandenburg to Patagonia and a demonstration of her minimalist equipment.
