Overland

In 1975, in that window of time between the fall of Saigon and the Bicentennial, an aspiring Chicago journalist with a major case of wanderlust strapped on a backpack, grabbed her guitar and traveled solo along the Hippie Trail on a life-changing adventure of cultural diversity and self-discovery. From the beaches of Bali to the streets of Bangkok and jungles of Burma, Overland is your escape to another time and place. 

"Part travelogue, part time capsule, part confession..."  reflections on traveling Solo While Female on a path trod by thousands in the 60s and 70s in search of enlightenment, cheap thrills, and free love. You'll experience the danger and delight of travel in the Informationless Age, in the wake of war and in the shadow of colonialism, framed against a mind-bending backdrop of ethnic and religious variety. Rollicking yet reflective, this digitally remastered blast from the past is a great book club, baby boomer or beach vacation read that will appeal to all those who believe the ultimate measure of cool isn't where you're from, but how far you've come.
