When Corey stepped out of the airport and into the glaring winter sun of Frankfurt, he had just his only three underpants and a pair of holey socks in his luggage. Never had he expected to come back to Germany. Because all he wanted before he set off for Australia was one last wicked holiday to put an end to his depressions afterwards. Once and for all.
Instead, he now tells incredible stories about shark-infested waters, the most beautiful woman of Australia and strangers who have revealed themselves to be friends for life. Along the way he met angry husbands, dangerous bar acquaintances, the fluffiest cat in the world, and some depressed Aussies who showed him every day anew how precious life really is.
12, 000 Miles is an open-heartedly written travel novel about Corey’s fight against his depression, wild parties and a series of stupid decisions that made him look at life from a different perspective.
In addition, future backpackers will find 36 essential tips about travelling in Australia:
- Which visa do I need?
- How do I re-register my driving licence?
- How do I get my money to Australia at the best price?
- What do I need to be allowed to work?
- How do I register my vehicle?
- What if I get lonely?
- What should I do if I encounter a snake, spider or shark?
- Which apps do I need?
- How is travelling suppose to improve my quality of life?
In other words, 12, 000 Miles is a travel-guide of its own kind, that tells the heartbreaking story of a lonely backpacker from Germany.

About the Author
Sobre o autor
Corey Visions was born on 31 January 1995 in Wiesbaden. The learned IT-businessman quickly realized that big city bustle and computer technology should not be the center of his life.
In October 2017 he went to Australia as a backpacker to turn his life upside down. On his 25th birthday, his first travel novel ‘19.000 Kilometer (GER)’ was published, in which he describes the beautiful but also dangerous life as a depressed traveler. Since then he has made it his goal to help other depressives back on their feet and to make it easier for backpackers in foreign countries to travel.
When Corey is taking a break from writing or traveling, he can usually be found at the gym where he pursues his next passion, bodybuilding. He also counts himself as an art philistine and provides regular entertainment on his You Tube channel Toxic Through and Through INT.
