Book excerpt: From Kansas to Kathmandu, from mountain to beach, jungle to city-street, jail to monastery, palatial estate to park-bench, psychopaths to gurus, from heart-break and back to love again, our journeyer met with all these and much more in this engrossing tale of not just travel but of a life consciously unfolding. Casting his fate to the wind he set out, with little money but a shaky confidence that he'd find ways and means of survival when his bankroll hit bottom – which didn't take long. Being carried by a strong desire and determination to see the world he persevered, melting obstacles with an ability to spot an opportunity or to to sink into, or to wait out, a situation. Choosing to shun scamming, smuggling or fruit-picking in favor of creative and artistic means to earn his living he kept some cash in his pocket – most of the time. And by endeavoring to do only what he enjoyed doing, and to keep company only with those of whom he had a high regard, he found in this an all-round viable formula that proved to work well for most everything in general.During lengthy stretches in villages, jungles and beaches of Central America, and with nomads of the Moroccan Sahara sand dunes, a family of wandering spiritual 'sadhus' on the banks of the Ganges in India, holding a position as cook and general manager in a charming backpacker hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan - after crossing that country by horseback. Thus, more than mere survival he thrived, refusing to regard his own lack of funds as 'poverty.'Throughout the journey his path would cross and intertwine with the people of his own leaning, the 'hippies' on the trail, which during this era were legion.Many mysterious interventions of destiny would arise, presenting ranges of circumstance from idyllic to agonizingly stressful, but all would impart valuable life-lessons and rich experience to this seeker of anything and everything that would add to his accumulation of knowledge – knowledge of being human, of being alive. He would add to his own involvements insightful observations of others whose existence differed greatly from his own, and would treasure absolutely all of it as spiritual experience.

Book excerpt: From Kansas to Kathmandu, from mountain to beach, jungle to city-street, jail to monastery, palatial estate to park-bench, from heart-break and back to love again, our journeyer met with all these and much more in this engrossing tale of not just travel but of a life consciously navigated. At the outset however, he'd cast his fate to the wind, with little money but a shaky confidence that he'd find ways and means of survival when his bankroll hit bottom - which didn't take long. Being carried by a strong desire and determination to see the world he persevered, opening doors with an ability to spot and sink into an opportunity, or to melt an obstacle or disagreeable situation by some stroke of cleverness or by waiting it out. Choosing to shun scamming, smuggling or fruit-picking in favor of creative and artistic means to earn his living, he kept some cash in his pocket - most of the time. His experiences ranged from lengthy stays in villages, tropical jungles and beaches, with nomads of the Sahara and wandering spiritual 'sadhus' in India, to crossing Afghanistan by horseback. Arriving in Kabul nearly broke he landed a position in a hotel as its cook and general manager. All the while he thrilled in the high adventure of it all, even while enduring several months in an Indian jail - thus transcending mere survival by steadfastly refusing to regard his own lack of funds as 'poverty.' Throughout the journey his path would cross and intertwine with the people of his own leaning, the 'hippies' on the trail, which during this era were legion. Many mysterious interventions of destiny would arise, presenting ranges of circumstance from idyllic to agonizingly stressful, but all would impart valuable life-lessons and rich insight to this seeker of anything and everything that would contribute to his accumulation of knowledge - knowledge of being human, of being alive. He would add to his own involvements intuitive observations of others whose existence differed greatly from his own, and would treasure absolutely all of it as spiritual attainment.
Book Synopsis Ten Years on the Hippie Trail by : Ananda G. Brady
Download or read book Ten Years on the Hippie Trail written by Ananda G. Brady and published by . This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of young people in the 70's poured from their homelands to remote regions of the world, filled with a pressing need to explore cultures where ages-old spiritual traditions were still intact. Places of particular interest or beauty had been discovered by early waves of explorers- word spread and a chain of destinations gradually formed which spanned the globe - the "Hippie Trail." Accompany our wayfarer and travel with him at his snail's pace as he moves overland - from Latin America to Morocco, Greece through Turkey, Persia and Afghanistan to India - often with only small bits of change in his pockets. Experience his shaky beginnings as an insecure and lonely neophyte, and grow with him as he evolves into a toughened and savvy navigator of far-away lands. Carried by his wits and many mystifying interventions of destiny, he encountered and lived through a continuing succession of often profound life experiences. This book reads nearer to a novel than travel-log, his relationships with the cast of real characters weave and tumble; their stories are told along with his own. Adventurous and introspective reading for the armchair voyager of all ages, and background for the young foot-soldiers out there on those same roads today.

Book Synopsis Ten Years a Nomad by : Matthew Kepnes
Download or read book Ten Years a Nomad written by Matthew Kepnes and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part memoir and part philosophical look at why we travel, filled with stories of Matt Kepnes' adventures abroad, an exploration of wanderlust and what it truly means to be a nomad. New York Times bestselling author of How to Travel the World on $50 a Day, Matthew Kepnes knows what it feels like to get the travel bug. After meeting some travelers on a trip to Thailand in 2005, he realized that living life meant more than simply meeting society's traditional milestones. Over 500,000 miles, 1,000 hostels, and 90 different countries later, Matt has compiled his favorite stories, experiences, and insights into this travel manifesto. Filled with the color and perspective that only hindsight and self-reflection can offer, these stories get to the real questions at the heart of wanderlust. Travel questions that transcend the basic "how-to," and plumb the depths of what drives us to travel — and what extended travel around the world can teach us about life, ourselves, and our place in the world. Ten Years a Nomad is a heartfelt comprehension of the insatiable craving for travel, unraveling the authenticity of being a vagabond, not for months but for a fulfilling decade.
Download or read book The hippie trail written by Sharif Gemie and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first history of the Hippie Trail. It records the joys and pains of budget travel to Kathmandu, India, Afghanistan and other ‘points east’ in the 1960s and 1970s. Written in a clear, simple style, it provides detailed analysis of the motivations and the experiences of hundreds of thousands of hippies who travelled eastwards. The book is structured around four key debates: were the travellers simply motivated by a search for drugs? Did they encounter love or sexual freedom on the road? Were they basically just tourists? Did they resemble pilgrims? It also considers how the travellers have been represented in films, novels and autobiographical accounts, and will appeal to those interested in the Trail or the 1960s counterculture, as well as students taking courses relating to the 1960s.

Book Synopsis Overland on the Hippie Trail by : Larry Farmer
Download or read book Overland on the Hippie Trail written by Larry Farmer and published by The Wild Rose Press Inc. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a new age, one called the Age of Aquarius, with a restless, ideological generation full of a reverence for new worlds opening up to new ideas. When the Beatles introduced the mystique of India to pop culture, the Hippie Trail was established as hip adventurers traveled overland from Europe to Kathmandu and India. Hunter was not among these hipsters. Still bitter over the way he was treated as a Marine combat veteran home from the Vietnam War, he felt the allure of the open road in America and in Europe. While getting visas in Vienna, he came across a Polish girl, Ewa, whose Politburo father got her unequal privileges she gladly abused to join Hunter on the trek to India to check out the new-age ashrams. Shared experiences and hardships bonded them, but Cold War politics made falling in love the worst hardship of all.
Book Synopsis The Mobilities Paradigm by : Marcel Endres
Download or read book The Mobilities Paradigm written by Marcel Endres and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, the conceptualisation and empirical analysis of mobilities of people, objects and symbols has become an important strand of social science. Yet, the increasing importance of mobilities in all parts of the social does not only happen as observable practices in the material world but also takes place against the background of changing discourses, scientific theories and conceptualisations and knowledge. Within the formation of these mobilities discourses, the social sciences constitute a relevant actor. Focussing on mobility as an object of knowledge from a Foucauldian perspective rather than a given entity within the historical contingency of movement, this book asks: How do discourses and ideologies structure the normative substance, social meanings, and the lived reality of mobilities? What are the real world effects of/on the will and the ability to be mobile? And, how do these lived realities, in turn, invigorate or interfere with certain discourses and ideologies of mobility?
Book Synopsis The Overlanders (Hippie Trail) by : Richard Parkes
Download or read book The Overlanders (Hippie Trail) written by Richard Parkes and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-12-29 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of my Overland trips from London to Kathmandu in the early seventies. This was an interesting time with many changes going on, many of the travelers being born at the end of the Second World War and others post war baby boomers. We had moved through rock and roll, Dylan, Beatles, Hippies, the racial changes in the US, cold war, and still had the war in Vietnam, which most of us were against. What made us take an overland journey from Europe to Kathmandu? For many of us it was travel to the unknown, an adventure, plus an escape from conformity. It could be said it was the fore runner of the backpacker travel movement now a rite of passage for young people today. We in fact were following Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Monguls and Mughal invaders, Muslim Arab armies, as well as trading caravans which gave some of our route the romantic name of the Silk Road.
Book Synopsis You Don't Have To Say You Love Me by : Simon Napier-Bell
Download or read book You Don't Have To Say You Love Me written by Simon Napier-Bell and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-06-30 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You probably know Simon Napier-Bell as the manager of the Yardbirds. Or you may know him as the man who managed Marc Bolan, or Japan. You should definitely know him as the man who managed Wham! And if none of these rings a bell, maybe you'll remember him as the man who co-wrote 'You Don't Have To Say You Love Me' for Dusty Springfield. You Don't Have To Say You Love Me is one of the funniest books you will read and equally provoking. From his revelation that the entire music industry was motivated by sex, to an embarrassing come-on from a suicidal Brian Epstein, it's all shocking stuff. But when you're on the run from the German police with Marc Bolan, brothel-hopping with Keith Moon and generally living the life of Riley at the music industry's expense, it would be a shame not to share those amazing experiences with the rest of the world, wouldn't it? Of all the great pop-music books written, it is worth savouring You Don't Have To Say You Love Me for its brilliant sideways insight into one of the most exciting cultural periods Britain has ever seen.
Download or read book Going to Seed written by Simon Fairlie and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unforgettable firsthand account of how the hippie movement flowered in the late 1960s, appeared spent by the Thatcher-consumed 1980s, yet became the seedbed for progressive reform we now take for granted—and continues to inspire generations of rebels and visionaries. At a young age, Simon Fairlie rejected the rat race and embarked on a new trip to find his own path. He dropped out of Cambridge University to hitchhike to Istanbul and bicycle through India. He established a commune in France, was arrested multiple times for squatting and civil disobedience, and became a leading figure in protests against the British government’s road building programs of the 1980s and—later—in legislative battles to help people secure access to land for low impact, sustainable living. Over the course of fifty years, we witness a man’s drive for self-sufficiency, freedom, authenticity, and a deep connection to the land. Fairlie grew up in a middle-class household in leafy middle England. His path had been laid out for him by his father: boarding school, Oxbridge, and a career in journalism. But everything changed when Simon’s life ran headfirst into London’s counterculture in the 1960s. Finding Beat poetry, blues music, cannabis and anti–Vietnam War protests unlocked a powerful lust to be free. Instead of becoming a celebrated Fleet Street journalist like his father, Simon became a laborer, a stonemason, a farmer, a scythesman, and then a magazine editor and a writer of a very different sort. In Going to Seed he shares the highs of his experience, alongside the painful costs of his ongoing search for freedom—estrangement from his family, financial insecurity, and the loss of friends and lovers to the excesses and turbulence that continued through the 70s and 80s. Part moving, free-wheeling memoir, part social critique, Going to Seed questions the current trajectory of Western “progress”—and the explosive consumerism, growing inequality, and environmental devastation laid bare in our daily newsfeeds—and will resonate with anyone who wonders how we got to such a place. Simon’s story is for anyone who wonders what the world might look like if we began to chart a radically different course.
