Beijing to Barbados in a Rowboat: The true story of how China and the West pulled together to row across the Atlantic - Paperback

Havrehed, Christian: - Christian Havrehed is an ex-consultant, sinologist, adventurer, inspirational speaker, teambuilder and writer, who has lived 20 years in China. He founded the Yantu Project (沿途方案) or 'The On-going Project' in 2000, to promote Sino-Western cross-cultural understanding because he observed there was, and still is, a need for this. His concept is to use unusual China related cross-cultural maritime adventures to engage people around the world. By following his adventures, people get to know China and the Chinese better in an exciting and entertaining way. With his adventures Christian showcases that Mainland Chinese and Westerners can achieve anything together, as long as they are willing to trust and believe in each other. His adventures thereby challenge the Status Quo thinking of most Chinese and Westerners. He uses his adventures to promote and fundraise for the alma mater United World Colleges, a group of international schools with the mission: "United World Colleges ("UWC") makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future."
