A place where no one cares what you look like. ‘’Our travels teach us everything we need to know for the rest of our lives, as long as there’s no need to explain this to our parents.’’ Even though a sad end, it is a realistic story about a way of life before, where people loved to be free, and were free to find love, in a world of peace, love, marijuana and travels. I also wished that they actually reached out the final destination the way they are supposed to (this was not a spoiler). I actually wished that they had spoken more about the travels and less about some individual stories that didn’t quite correlate to the plot. A beautiful story about friendship, love and travel.

Their search for what they want and need feeds with every stop and every destination. They preferred to flee to safer ground.’’ Their adventure begins in such an adorable way, only hippies can relate to. ‘’She wished they could see her for her beauty, but all anyone ever saw was the hurricane, and they never sought shelter from it. When she hears that a hippie bus is going all the way to Nepal, she is willing to go if she meets her ideal companion. Karla, a lady born and living in Amsterdam, wanting to find herself so badly in the world. Paulo, a Brazilian guy, searching for freedom and travels. ‘’He was a human being, with all the fragility that entails, he didn’t understand everything that happened in his life, but he truly wished to believe he was travelling in search of the light.’’ The book is a story of two people, Paulo and Karla. After reading Hippie, I believe that this is the the best one that covers this subject quite perfectly. And all of them share something in common – the path of finding yourself. I have read many of Coelho’s books, even since I was a teenage girl. This is a story about people that travel the world, wear funny clothes and flowers in their hairs, and believe in peace, love and freedom. ★★★ Hippie is the autobiography by Paulo Coelho, told in third person.
