LARS BENDELS - Traum über Kopf – als Volunteers um die ganze Welt

In the organizer's words:

How do you actually travel around the world in a contemporary way? Quite simply: voluntarily!

In his book Traum über Kopf (Ullstein), author Lars Bendels answers the key question of all wanderlust sufferers. In a mixture of reading and lecture, we accompany Lars on a journey through ecological dream jobs that takes us to some of the most remote places on our planet.

It's the most exciting self-experiment you can imagine. Lars and his girlfriend Anja quit their jobs as advertisers to immerse themselves in meaningful lifestyles as volunteers around the globe. In their backpacks: a one-way ticket and the idea of working for free in all the ecological jobs they dreamed of as children.
They try their hand as agroforesters in Hawaii, become safari rangers in Africa and rescue sea turtles in Costa Rica. Whether as whale researchers in the Azores or permaculture gardeners in Canada, they meet extraordinarily inspiring people everywhere and sometimes even themselves.

Where would we end up if we simply followed our dreams out into the world?
