Fake Putin, me, and the hidden crocodile

Thomas Brackmann has lived and worked in Saudi Arabia since 2010. In his spare time he travels around the world (2018 he finished all 193 UN member states), teaches Judo to Kids, organizes charity events, and writes short stories about all his adventures. In 2013 he discovered running as an additional hobby and shifted slowly to become a triathlete. Between 2014 and 2018 he finished 1 Double Ironman, 6 full Ironman, several shorter triathlons, different Marathons and Ultra Marathons. However, travelling was always his major passion. In the recent years he planned to travel to each country to have ticked off all 193 UN member states. This book is about his travel adventures around the globe. It consists of short stories from Ironman triathlons in Australia, interviews with semi-professional travelers from Sweden, fun reports from German submarines, and insights of other fellow globe trotters. Most importantly each chapter represents one country and is filled with tips, tricks and lessons learned to travel easier, better, and more intense. After reading the book you might know how penguin poo is smelling, what is the taste of a one dollar omelet in Nepal, why Tuvalu will disappear, and how the Germans know everything better.Definitely this book is not a detailed travel advice work. You will not find specific travel details about each country, it is rather filled with funny stories of a highly motivated average talented triathlete conquering the world by travelling. Therefore this book is for everyone who is infected by wanderlust and also has the desire for sports, party, new places, and interesting people around the world. It is a great guide for finding the best way to have fun in travel life. Worry we can tomorrow. Today we travel and discover new places and meet new people.
