Christine Thürmer

"WANDER WOMAN - The most hiked woman in the world"

When Christine Thürmer was born in 1967, there was nothing to suggest that she would one day become the most hiked woman in the world. At school, she was otherwise top of her class, but she was a complete loser at sport. As a result, she first embarks on a stellar career as a manager before realizing after an unexpected layoff and the death of a friend that time - and not money - is the most important resource in life.

Completely untrained, she hikes 4,277 kilometers from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail - despite having 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 doesn't she wear underpants on the road but has a bin bag with her? And what is it about this life that makes her so damn happy? When viewers ask her questions live, she doesn't shy away from any answers and even presents her weirdest hiking outfit.

With lots of funny, exciting and thought-provoking anecdotes, the three-time bestselling author describes her journey from couch potato to long-distance hiker and her everyday outdoor life as a solo female traveler. There are also amazing practical tips, tour ideas from Brandenburg to Patagonia and a demonstration of her minimalist equipment.

A good-humored show without campfire romance and outdoor clichés for anyone who wants to set off on their own or is simply interested in life on the move.
