This is not a travelogue or a self-help book but reflections of a world that can only be exposed to those that journey by foot Following the suggestion that "every young man should walk" a young Australian breaks free from the madness of his daily routine in London, to walk 600 lonely kilometres from Turin over the Swiss Alps to Munich. Along the way, he faithfully keeps a diary, a record of discovery of a world seen from an entirely new perspective, one that emerges from a time of intense loneliness reflecting on life and the people in it. His sometimes funny, sometimes dramatic account of fear and isolation; of physical exhaustion when your own body becomes the enemy; lays bare his thoughts and unique observations that prove anyone can open the door to see the world differently.
