A screenshot from the LA Times featuring the cover of "On the Hippie Trail" with the following text by Sophia Kercher: "In the 1970s, tie-dyed vagabonds and stoney American expats loaded up in dusty vans in Europe and took off for Nepal. They'd roll through Turkey, snake up dirt roads to then-peaceful Iran and a welcoming Afghanistan; trek through Pakistan to India and head all the way up to happening Kathmandu. Folks called the route the Hippie Trail. I know because my mom was one of them -- and turns out she may have been lighting up with Steves during his first-ever toke in Herat, Afghanistan. Steves unfolds stories from the trail that widened his view of the world and drove him to become a beloved PBS personality in his resurfaced travel/photo journal meets memoir. Read it when you're longing for an epic trip."
