5.000 Kilometer durch Amerika - Tim Voors nimmt uns mit auf die einzigartige Wanderung entlang des Continental Divide Trail.Als längster Fernwanderweg, der durch ein einziges Land führt, steht der CDT auf der Wunschliste jedes ambitionierten Wanderers. Bekannt für seine Schönheit und gleichzeitige Unberechenbarkeit ist der CDT ein Ausdauertest, der Vielseitigkeit und Anpassungsfähigkeit an die Launen der Natur abverlangt. Jedes Jahr machen sich nur wenige auf, um dieses Ziel tatsächlich zu erreichen. Tim Voors war 2022 einer von ihnen. Im Alter von 50 Jahren hat er die Strecke in unter fünf Monaten zurückgelegt und damit nach dem Pacific Crest Trail, auf dem wir ihn in dem mit gestalten veröffentlichten Allein begleiten konnten, den zweiten der drei Triple-Crown-Wege begangen. Sieben Millionen Schritte und die 15-fache Anzahl der Höhenmeter, die es braucht, um den Mount Everest zu besteigen, sind nur zwei Zahlen, die versuchen, diese Herausforderung fassbar zu machen.The Great Divide ist mehr als nur eine Geschichte - es ist eine Einladung, eigene Grenzen zu erkunden und das Unbekannte zu umarmen.

Esta historia, de la cual yo soy el protagonista, comienza con mi atropellado nacimiento y termina con un final oportuno del actor principal. Fueron muchas las anécdotas, hazañas, aventuras y peripecias vividas en este viaje por la vida; el cual no estuvo ausente de penas, lágrimas, sufrimientos, dolores, fortalezas, deslices, alegrías, risas, celebraciones y logros de todas clases y de todos tipos. En el largo recorrido por el mundo, los enredos, efemérides y las memorias se entrelazaron para formar lo que muchos llaman viaje hacia la eternidad. En el camino unas veces bebí de la copa amarga del sufrimiento. Otras veces, me tocó beber en el cáliz rebosante de la alegría. Aunque no combatí molinos de viento, fueron muchos los sinsabores que enfrenté en mi largo trajinar. Sin embargo, estos fueron superados por recompensas que siempre me aguardaban al final del camino.Es desde mi aterrizaje al mundo, en un oscuro y recóndito lugar del pueblo de Vega Baja, que empezaron a desarrollarse el gatuperio de mis hazañas. Estas se extendieron desde el barrio que me vio nacer, hasta tener gran parte del mundo como escenario. Durante ese periodo, las lecciones de vida, enseñanzas y aprendizajes fueron interminables. Si bien, las hazañas de mi existencia en este plano comenzaron siendo pequeñas, casi insignificantes, las mismas crecieron y se remolinaron vinculadas a mi alrededor a través del cosmos, formando una red de vivencias dignas de ser reconocidas, examinadas, estudiadas y contadas. Es por eso por lo que, con mucho respeto, me atrevo a plasmarlas en este trabajo para compartirlas con mis colaboradores, discípulos, maestros y cómplices, los cuales, en algún momento, viajaron en el mismo vagón que yo ocupaba en el tren de la vida.Aunque ya muchos de los que fueron mis acompañantes de este recorrido hacia la eternidad han cumplido su misión conmigo y hoy ya no viajamos juntos, les recuerdo con mucho cariño porque dejaron imperdurables y gratas huellas en mí. El papel de los personajes que aquí aparecen está íntimamente atado a mis andanzas por los rincones del universo; fueron estos actores quienes mejor me ayudaron, de una forma u otra, a concretar mi historia y a escribir mis crónicas. Son estos atrevidos aventureros parte trascendental de mis memorias y es mi obligación honrarlos y enaltecerlos con este humilde homenaje.

Bei der Überlegung den Portugiesischen Jakobsweg zu gehen, ließ Gitta Groer sich anfangs durch negative Berichte verunsichern. Im Grunde war der Autorin jedoch klar, dass jeder den Weg anders erlebt und sie entschied sich ihre eigenen Erfahrungen auf der Pilgerwanderung von Porto nach Santiago de Compostela zu machen. In humorvoller und authentischer Art erzählt Gitta Groer von wundervollen, teilweise überraschenden Begegnungen, sehenswerten Orten und eindrucksvollen Landschaften. Obwohl die gelben Pfeile ab und zu vermeintlich in die Irre führten - am Ende war alles gut.
