It is something we do daily without much thought. Yet what happens when it becomes our life's purpose? Are humans even made for walking that much? On a five-month long-distance hike across New Zealand's scenic landscape, Melanie Bertsch, together with her husband Henning, covered a total of 3,000 kilometres.

Not just another trip to self-discovery but a book about becoming the person we want to be.
