In the summer of 1978, a young American traveller set off across Europe and into Asia with little more than a backpack and an appetite for adventure. This memoir recounts an extraordinary journey along the legendary overland route that drew countless young wanderers eastward during the 1960s and 70s, from Istanbul through Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.
Through vivid recollections of bustling bazaars, chance encounters with fellow travellers, and moments of profound cultural discovery, this account captures the spirit of an era when intrepid exploration was both accessible and transformative. It's a nostalgic glimpse into a world that has since vanished, offering insights into the places, people, and experiences that shaped a generation of independent travellers and continue to inspire adventurers today.
