A glimpse of cloud-shrouded Mt. Everest. Petra, the rose city cut into rock. Pilgrims bathing in the Ganges. Or biking over a sandy expanse stretching as far as the eye can see. The highlights of Daniel's journey are exhilarating, but it is the challenges that come to redefine him. "If I'd continued to worry about how things would work", he says, "I think I would've gone insane."

Like countless others Daniel Rintz finished his studies apprehensive about the routine life ahead of him. Unlike most, he had the courage - or the craziness - to do something about it. He and a university friend, Lars, motorbike down to Africa via the Iberian Peninsula, then across to the Middle East. Six months into their journey Lars pulls out to go home. Daniel goes on.

His closest companion on the trip is Marianne, his trusty motorcycle. But their four-day dash across unstable Pakistan is perilously disrupted when she breaks down. The parts would take weeks to receive from Germany. In the process of fixing it he stays overnight with a local police chief, almost loses his bike in a road bend, and meets a friendly mechanic whose half a dozen sons work under him. Later, in Nepal, a blogpost about an orphanage he passes through raises 1500 Euros, and he uses some of the money to buy the kids secret Santa presents. Their wholehearted grins speak for themselves.

"Being on that adventure was the most important thing to me", Daniel says. "It was everything that I ever dreamt of, everything that I wanted to do." Somewhere Else Tomorrow is not just about being changed by an incredible journey. It's a call to arms to achieve your dreams.
