From an early age, Christian Haas was infatuated with the adrenaline-inducing prospect of a life in Africa. Feeling adrift in his monotone life in Switzerland, he craved adventure. Through a chance encounter, he left everything behind for a job on a sisal plantation in the remote north of Moçambique and, aged just twenty one, set off with nothing but a suitcase and indefatigable ambition. Thrilled with their new lives in Africa, Christian and his wife soon became embroiled in the independence struggles which proliferated throughout Southern Africa in the late 1960s. Undeterred, the couple was unwavering in their support of their host countries' struggles. They stayed the course through countless risks and hardships, setting their inner compass towards realizing their ultimate dream. Christian's story will ring true for anyone who has longed for something greater or tried to beat the odds, only to find a kind of success and happiness they could not have imagined.
