    The beauty of planet Earth and it's people and cultures.

    Beautifully told and shot, amazing encounters and stunning nature. A positive and optimistic view on the world and it's people. Brought tears of joy to my eyes. More than just recommended for people who appreciate the beauty and versility of our planet.

    Superficial and hypocritic

    I expected a detailed travelogue with intensive insights into the cultures, people and countries. Unfortunately, many countries through which they traveled were completely omitted or only short scenes were shown where they hitchhiked. Other scenes were unnecessarily drawn out, which are completely irrelevant to the story. Unfortunately, the two make a boastful, arrogant impression, as if the whole trip was just a joke, a pastime for rich Europeans. On the one hand wanting to travel and live ecologically, depending on the goodwill of others during their trip, and on the other hand travelling by cruise ship and flying the family in? For me, a completely hypocritical film, brimming with distorted reality. I was ashamed to be European if this is the image that my fellow citizens in other countries give.
