In those days, hippie-drifters were to be found all over Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and even Eastern Australia. Their avowed purpose in traveling-to "find themselves" and engage in exchanges with young people from all over the world-would come to serve as the impetus for innumerable young people to take to the road.
當時在歐洲、中東、中亞、東南亞，甚至遠至澳洲的東部，都可以找到這群嬉皮青年半流浪式的旅行身影；他們奉為圭臬的旅行宗旨──「尋找自我」及「與全世界各地的青年交流」，後來也激勵了無數年輕人踏上未知的旅程。
