On the Hippy Trail to India

This memoir recounts a journey undertaken during an era marked by innocence and naivety, yet brimming with excitement. It was a time when one could traverse from Europe to Asia entirely by land, savouring the gradual shift in cultures and landscapes, a feat that has become increasingly challenging in today’s world. This travelogue reflects on a privileged experience, one for which the author remains deeply grateful, having witnessed these diverse regions and cultures first-hand.
