This is the true story of Franz Wisner,
a man who thought he had it all- a high profile career and
the fiancée of his dreams- when suddenly, his life
turned upside down. Just days before they were to be married,
his fiancée called off the wedding. Luckily, his
large support network of family and friends wouldn't let
him succumb to his misery. They decided Franz should have
a wedding and a honeymoon anyway- there just wouldn't be
a bride at the ceremony, and Franz' travel companion would
be his brother, Kurt.
During the "honeymoon," Franz reconnected
with his brother and began to look at his life with newfound
perspective. The brothers decided to leave their old lives
behind them. They quit their jobs, sold all their possessions,
and traveled around the world, visiting fifty-three countries
for the next two years. In Honeymoon With My Brother,
Franz recounts this remarkable journey, during which he
turned his heartbreak into an opportunity to learn about
himself, the world, and the brother he hardly knew.
