‘TRAVEL PIONEER’ 
‘GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER’ 
‘THE DEAN OF EXTREME TRAVEL’ 
‘DR. DANGERZONE !’ 
“His expertise: the Dangerzone!” 
“Dapper in the Face of Danger” 
“With dress hanky in the Congo” 
“Impresses even rebels, military and dictators” 
“The Best Traveled German” 
“A Man of the World. The Most Traveled German.” 
“Kolja stands … a walking pillar … of enlightened extreme travelers who question the news”
“Questions the official narrative about the good and the rogue nations. Absolutely recommended!” 
“Will not get the ‘Mother Theresa Prize for Political Correctness’, but by breaking his snobby attitude with self-irony, he reminds of T.C. Boyle’s genial novel ‘Water Music’ or James Bond movies.” 
“One of the most well-traveled men on earth. If anyone knows a place where freedom-loving people thrive, it’s Kolja.” 
“The German Formula 1 manager, investor, lecturer, adventurer and author … is probably the most journeyed and spirited man you could ever hope to meet … combining danger and luxury, sometimes as a businessman, always as a gentleman.” 
“He met the FARC leaders “Black Death” and Tanja Nijmeijer in the Colombian mountains, the Russian Nightwolf “Chirurg” in Crimea, Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov in Grozny, Liberia’s putschist Prince Johnson in Monrovia, and narrowly missed the fatal bombing of Donbass rebel leader Alexander Sakharchenko in the Separatist Cafè Donezk. In a hotel elevator in Batumi/Georgia, he won an almost fatal staredown against US warlord Donald Rumsfeld. He also spent a day at the Monaco Grand Prix with a CIA extraordinary rendition team (to Guantanamo, as he sadly found out afterwards), and he met the real “M” that looks strikingly similar to Judy Dench in the James Bond movies.”
