Wanderlust
Trips outside the comfort zone from Brazil to Kamchatka
Written by Aliz Ertler
32 themes • 40 countries • 100 stories
The book is about countries that are not on the radar of most travellers because they are perceived dangerous, dirty, expensive, uninteresting or just have poor infrastructure. My stories are about everyday or not so everyday topics, through which I show how different things are in, say, Colombia, Madagascar or Indonesia, and it is precisely because of this difference that our little world is interesting.

Reviews of the book
Anikó Für
Actress
I've known her since childhood - or so I thought! Still, I wasn't too surprised by her world-changing venture. I'd say it was a necessity: there was always something special about her, spiced up with a good dose of perfectionism.
Thankfully, there are plenty of people who travel the world, with fascinating travelogues and accounts of their experiences, and this is a real gift for those who, by necessity or choice, are more at home.
I turn the pages, see all the beauty in the pictures and text, the film is running, and I think: how nice for her!
But Aliz's book has something more to offer, beyond all this and her personality! It makes me want to take my suitcase down from the top shelf of the upstairs cupboard, throw the most important things in it and go, go, go, go... ∞, how good for me!
