Reflections on the 1970s Hippie Trail -- Two Perspectives on a Journey of a Lifetime
In September 2024, I published my book A Swede on the Hippie Trail (1974). Six months later, Rick Steves released On the Hippie Trail: Istanbul to Kathmandu and the Making of a Travel Writer (2025). These are two of the latest in a growing crop of travel books and memoirs from the Hippie Trail, which attracted hundreds of thousands young travelers until it was closed by the Iranian revolution in 1979.
Read a comparison between the two books on my The Nordic Link substack.
