On Saturday, December 13, 2025, at 20:00, Hubertus Koch, a journalist from Bremen, embarks on a new journey with the release of his first book, LOST BOY. This autobiographical work explores themes he has never addressed before, such as the clichés of the media world, burnout, hustle culture, drug excesses, and the challenges of forming genuine relationships. His narrative is woven into the story of a backpacking trip through Bosnia, Albania, and Montenegro, creating a poignant reflection on the chaos and beauty of unplanned travel and honest encounters.

In a world dominated by meticulously organized vacations and optimized living, LOST BOY serves as both a raw critique and a tender ode to life's unpredictability. Koch's honesty shines through as he shares insights about the darker aspects of life while revealing the beauty that can be found when one takes a step back and simply observes rather than strives for more.

With the release of LOST BOY, Koch is not only launching a book but also embarking on a personal tour, interacting with his audience in person, moving beyond the comment sections of the internet. He brings with him the most personal work he has ever created, addressing current issues with his unique voice and perspective.
