Julia Finkernagel liest: "Reisefieber". Finger auf den Globus legen, dann die Welt entdecken - und sich selbst gleich mit. Lesung im Rahmen von "Leipzig liest".

In the organizer's words:

Julia Finkernagel knows how to travel.

With her successful TV series and the Ostwärts books, she motivates people to discover the world near and far. From numerous readings, Julia knows the questions about jumping into the unknown, challenges, her encounters and practical travel tips.

In her new book Reisefieber und an diesem Abend she provides answers: personal highlights and failures, a short guide to adventures from the Arctic to the desert, plus packing tips to ensure survival. She also offers unobtrusive coaching-to-go on how to deal with fears, cultural codes, travel pitfalls, communication problems and homesickness. An amusing program that inspires and encourages travel.

Years ago, communication designer and successful manager Julia Finkernagel persuaded her division manager at Frankfurt Airport to take a sabbatical and set off on a backpacking trip. However, she never returned to the air-conditioned office from there: her travel reports led to her being hired for a television internship during her trip. This resulted in a job as an author and producer - and a second career. Since 2008, Julia Finkernagel has regularly traveled "eastwards" with her cameraman and small luggage. Today, the bestselling author of the Eastbound travel books of the same name works freelance for various ARD, ARTE and KIKA broadcasters and as a coach. Her award-winning reports tell of encounters in other cultural areas and the necessary change of perspective. She reports enthusiastically and captivatingly about the closeness to nature and the traditions of the local people, always with great respect and a touch of self-irony.
