20.000 chilometri in Vespa, sei mesi e mezzo all'interno di un viaggio attraverso Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Sudafrica, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambico, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Etiopia e Gibuti, per completare il periplo, iniziato in Marocco, di un continente dove l'ingiustizia, la vulnerabilità e la tragedia sono elevate all'ennesima potenza, una Babele dove ragazzini dodicenni addestrati dai guerriglieri hanno già ucciso e bevuto il sangue dei nemici; dove la corruzione e la disonestà sono virtù per sopravvivere.

As women of color, we are scarce in the travel community, and there are several confusions attached to our experience. We feel a sense of pride after every trip.

We traveled for six months through the warm heart of Africa. Backpacks, pick-up trucks, dusty roads, and more smiles than I knew existed. But for the first few months, I was pretty sure the entire continent was out to get me. Sure, there were swindlers and cheats, scam artists and robbers. But those you have everywhere. No, Malawi was truly the warm heart of Africa.

Bis zu 1500 Kilometer weit ist es von den Kanaren zum spanischen Festland, während die Nordwestküste Afrikas an der engsten Stelle nur 100 Kilometer entfernt ist.

Etwas weiter westlich überrascht Gran Canaria mit der Provinzhauptstadt Las Palmas mit langen Sandstränden und einem der besten Konzertsäle der Welt. Der höchste Berg Spaniens thront imposant über Teneriffa: der Pico del Teide.

As a way of steadying and finding herself in this new place, she begins reading Henry James's Portrait of a Lady, and there discovers disturbing resonances with her own life.

Die Wildnis ist tief in uns Menschen verwurzelt - wir haben nur verlernt, auf ihre Stimme zu hören.

Auge in Auge mit Elefanten, Löwen und Leoparden lernt Gesa jeden Tag aufs Neue, was wirklich zählt und warum es heute wichtiger ist denn je, auf die eigene innere Stimme zu hören. Am Lagerfeuer, unterm Sternenhimmel, wird vieles plötzlich ganz einfach und klar - echte Stille etwa ist wahrer Luxus.
