On the Way We Traveled to India in 1974

We traveled privately with little money and without political or social power. We were not spies, emissaries, traders, scientists, explorers, diplomats, or luxury tourists. We traveled on two old buses to and from India, and while in India, we rode train and local buses.


Each mode of traveling has its pros and cons, whether you walk to India like Thomas Coryat in the 16th century, or travel with caravans like John Mildenhall in the 17th century, or cycle, hitchhike, drive, take a bus, train, plane, or boat. Of course, walking or cycling from Stockholm to New Delhi was possible, but it would have taken a long time and been risky in more ways than one.


The book will be published on Amazon as an ebook, paperback, and an elegant hard cover book.
