Travelling with a Guardian Angel

One Man's True Journey protected by a guardian angel through War Zones, Remote Lands, and the Hidden Truth Behind Humanitarian Aid. With 21, Joerg set out to explore the world - later reflecting that a guardian angel must have guided him safely through every danger he encountered. In 1980, he purchased a motorcycle in New York and set off on an epic 50,000-mile adventure. He went on to explore more regions also shaped by wars - Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Sudan, Central and South America, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea and East Asia. In 1993, he drove by car across Russia to the distant city of Vladivostok. Later - over a decade in Africa - he had to come to terms with the shocking truth: the often-dubious role of humanitarian aid. Combining thrilling adventures with deep reflection, this book offers an unfiltered look at life on the endless roads and questions the practices of certain aid organizations and German authorities. Every experience is true - only names have been changed.
