Around the World on 50 Bucks: How I Left with Nothing and Returned a Rich Man
()
About this ebook
Christopher Schacht shares his incredible experiences, revealing what he has learned along the way about life, love, and God, describing touching and bizarre encounters and insights that aren’t found in any travel guide.
Christopher Schacht was only nineteen years old and had just finished school when he put a dream into motion. With only 50 euros in savings, he traveled around the world, relying only on his friendliness, flexibility, charm, and willingness to work for his shelter and food.
Christopher traveled for four years, visiting 45 countries and traversing 100,000 kilometers on foot, hitchhiking, and on sailboats. He has earned his living as a jeweler, locksmith, au pair, and fashion model. He lived among indigenous people of South America and drug dealers and has journeyed through some of the most dangerous areas in the middle east.
“My plan was not to have a plan, just live without schedules and time pressure, where I could stay in places that I enjoyed until I was ready to move on.”
Christopher Schacht
Christopher Schacht, nacido en 1993, creció en el pueblo de Sahms, cerca de Hamburgo, al norte de Alemania. Su padre es un ministro luterano y tiene dos hermanos: un hermano gemelo (¡que es exactamente lo opuesto a él!) y una hermana menor. Después de graduarse, Christopher tenía una beca completa en ciencias de la computación esperándolo, pero en su lugar, decidió embarcarse en un viaje alrededor del mundo con solo 50 euros en su bolsillo, sin tarjeta de crédito, sin plan B y sin horarios, ni itinerarios. Sus únicas provisiones fueron un espíritu aventurero, una actitud positiva, una sonrisa brillante y la voluntad de abrazar lo que se avecinaba, independientemente de las personas, las tradiciones, la cocina y las oportunidades de trabajo que se le presentaran. En cuatro años, viajó por más de cuarenta y cinco países y recorrió más de 60 000 millas caminando y haciendo autostop, ni siquiera una vez viajó en avión (¿quién sabía que puedes hacer autostop para cruzar los océanos?). En el camino, se encontró con muchas culturas diferentes, paisajes fascinantes, aventuras peligrosas, una gran hospitalidad y con el Creador de toda la grandeza. Y también conoció al amor de su vida, Michal. Después de su regreso a Alemania en septiembre de 2017, Christopher comenzó a estudiar Teología cerca de Frankfurt. Su libro sobre su inusual viaje fue un éxito instantáneo en Alemania. Christopher y Michal se casaron en junio de 2018 y están listos para enfrentar cualquier aventura nueva que la vida tenga para ellos.
