If you want to understand yourself more deeply, start by discovering the world around you. This is how bestselling author Paulo Coelho draws on his rich life experience to take us back to an era, aiming to revive a generation that seeks peace and has the courage to challenge the established social order.

In 'Hippie', he tells the story of Paulo, a thin young Brazilian with long, flowing hair who wants to become a writer and embarks on a journey to find a deeper meaning in his life. His journey begins on the famous 'Death Train' in Bolivia to Peru, continuing by hitchhiking to Chile and Argentina. Paulo's travels eventually lead him to the famous Dam Square in Amsterdam, bustling with young people in vibrant clothes, burning incense, meditating, playing music, and discussing sexual liberation, all in an effort to expand their horizons and search for their inner truth.

There, he meets Karla, a charming Dutch woman in her twenties, who was waiting for an ideal companion to travel with her on the legendary hippie trail to Nepal. She convinces Paulo to join her on a journey aboard the Magic Bus traveling across Europe and Central Asia to Kathmandu.

They are accompanied on the trip by fascinating fellow travelers, each with their own interesting story to tell. Along the way, these travelers soon undergo personal transformations, as their priorities, values, and beliefs change.

As they travel together, Paulo and Karla explore their special relationship, which blossoms into a love story that redefines life for them, awakening feelings and emotions that lead them to make choices and decisions that will shape their future lives.
