Borderless
Leaving everything behind to find a life that fits
At twenty-one, he walked away from everything: the degree that no longer made sense, the apartment that wasn’t home, the life that felt too small.
With one backpack and no plan, Babak hitchhikes across five continents for four years — working in bars and cafés, sleeping in strangers’ homes, under bridges, on the beach, in the deserts of Africa with Bedouins, in the Outback with Aboriginal communities, and on the back of a truck through the mountains of Colorado.
After years of drifting and discovering, he returns to Germany — studies for nine years, earns two degrees — and then once again packs up his life, moving to Costa Rica with just $750 in his pocket to begin a new chapter.
Borderless is a true story of trading certainty for curiosity, security for freedom — the kind of freedom you can only earn by losing everything first.
A reminder that home is not a place you find… it’s the one you create.
And sometimes, you must get lost to return to yourself.
For anyone who has ever felt stuck, restless, or on the edge of something bigger — this book is your invitation to leap.
