I’ve seen this film a few times and still I love watching it. It’s about Christoph Rehage who, after a year of planning, set out to walk from China to his home country Germany. Between November 9th 2007 and November 13th 2008 he walked roughly 2796 miles, passed the Gobi desert, but then he decided to stop walking. Or as he describes it: “I got a haircut, shaved off my beard, and took a plane home”. He walked about one third of the initial way, from day one (his 26th birthday) until the downfall about a year later. The reason for his journey, or why he stopped walking aren’t very clear (even to himself) and it doesn’t really matter. He got as far as he got and gained an experience for which he says he’s very grateful. ‘The journey is the destination’, as I wrote in this post. On his website he concludes by giving us some nice piece of advice: “It doesn’t matter what dream you choose to follow, as long as you have one. Go follow your dream, and laugh while you’re doing it!”
