LETTING GO – How I Discovered the World and learned How to Do Without

From shopping queen to travelling minimalist: living out of a suitcase is Katharina Finke’s daily life for years as she likes discovering foreign countries and people. Whilst doing so she learns to trust her impulses and explore her fears. She discovers that radical freedom makes you both deliriously happy and deeply lonely. This is a book about what it means to let go – and what it’s worth keeping hold of.
