An unbridled celebration of free spirit

What was it like to backpack along the international hippie trail fifty years ago? Martin Frumkin's pre-tech, countercultural rucksack romp throughout Asia captures the tumultuous, don't-give-a-damn attitude of such rebellious, nomadic vagabonds as Marco Polo, Ibn Battalu, and Neal Cassady. Martin "tuned in" and "turned on," but chose not to "drop out."

In volume 2, Martin continues his quest for "truth, justice, and any way" while immersed in Southeast Asia and the Orient. Avoiding the Burmese junta among Mandalayan-jeweled pagodas, our anti-hero unwittingly flirts with the "Serpent" in Bangkok. Personal discovery of wondrous indigenous subcultures, and temples, beaches, and volcanoes of Java, Bali, and Sumatra morph into the backstreets and Buddhist monasteries of free Hong Kong and Macau. After falling in love in the shadows of the Taiwanese alps, he searches for old Korea under its modern veneer--interrupted by "quick time" measured by the almighty mamazon who watches over her courtesans.

Not knowing the laws, values, and mores of foreign cultures, nor bound to those at home, Martin experienced an inexplicable, free-floating freedom. Written in journal form, Suspected Hippie in Transit will empower you to "wake up" and change your life.
