This memoir tells the story of the author's journey from England to New Zealand via Israel, Afghanistan, India, the United States of America and other places during the latter years of the hippie era. In 1969, the author, then 24 years old feels life is passing him by with no real purpose. Things have to change. Travelling, initially to a kibbutz in Israel, starts the author on a long journey to find some contentment in a world before mobile phones and the internet. It was also an era in which borders were still open and the Middle East, although dangerous, could still be explored. Time spent back in England seemed empty and drab.New Zealand becomes an ultimate goal, but getting there is fraught with difficulties. There are good times, bad times, even dangerous times. There are strong friendships and short goodbyes.Finally, another chapter in his life opens and there is the promise of fulfilment.
