Produktbeschreibung

Timos done them all! To the Gemfields from the building sites, hes had some epic journeys filled with adventures that tested his strength, courage, and determination through the trials, tribulations, triumphs, and tragedies. They include a five-year sail around the world with his wife and daughter on their yacht Iceberg. In 1999, he was the first man to paddle an outrigger sea kayak from Fraser Island to Cape York Peninsula. It was a four-and-a-half month journey, pitting him against some of the worst weather conditions, not to mention the man eating sharks and saltwater crocodiles, and he survived by collecting rainwater and hunting for his food with his throwing spear. Then in 2003, he walked one-thousand-plus kilometers, pulling a trolley loaded with his supplies, from Mareeba to Cape York, the most northern point of Australia. A few years later, in 2006, he rode a pushbike 2,300 kilometers from the Gold Coast to Kangaroo Island in South Australia. With a combination of memories and daily journal entries, he captures the spirit of Australia in a very unique way. Like his Viking ancestors, Timo not only survived, but beat the odds.

Autorenporträt

This is the story of my life, including pieces of my poetry, which I created on my long ocean voyages and lonely treks through the wilderness. Poetry that I've written in those rare moments of calm, like the eye of Cyclone Monica and of how I have lived with my tribal background, friends, lovers, my journeys, and adventures. There's a memory of every journey I've ever made, every beer I have ever drunk, every fight I've ever had, and every woman I have loved. Some of them are beautiful memories of love and understanding. Some of them violent, full of anger and resentment, but nevertheless, part of my life as well. It's been a long journey, but an interesting one. I am still like a little boy who opened up his eyes to see the wonders of the world.
