I had already traveled through twenty-three countries by the time I arrived in New Zealand and published my first book in German, because I had to wait two months for my Kawasaki KLR 650 to be shipped to South America—Chile.Only now am I ready to make the decision to write my second book in October 2023 about my round-the-world trip from New Zealand to South, Central, and North America and back to Germany.I traveled through another 19 countries on my new Kawasaki KLR 650, which I bought in Australia and which is also referred to as “Mountain Goat” or “Frieda the Mountain Goat” later in the book.In 2026, the decision was made to publish a book in English covering the entire world trip.
