Description

A restless wanderer who has chased sun‑lit horizons since his teens guides listeners through a kaleidoscope of early‑twentieth‑century adventures. From Venice’s canals to the blazing streets of Algiers, his love of heat and light becomes a compass, leading him from the calm, sapphire seas off Hamburg to the shimmering arrival in Havana, where the city glows like melted gold under an unforgiving sun.

The narrative follows his passage along the Mexican coast, across desert realms where the air shimmers like liquid glass, and into the contrasting gardens of California, where firs mingle with palms and evenings soften with fragrant breezes. Along the way he reflects on the freedom of traveling “between decks,” a choice that offers richer encounters than first‑class comfort. His vivid observations of landscape, light, and the people he meets paint a portrait of a world that feels both vast and intimately alive, inviting listeners to share the thrill of stepping onto new, sun‑kissed shores.
