Would we have a safer, more peaceful world if everyone got to live among people in different countries and continents? Suspected Hippie In Transit takes readers through an American traveler's adventure and search for meaning in Asia fifty years ago—a time when there were no smartphones and notifications to distract one from the present. Martin Frumkin details his many unique experiences in first-person narration from joining a rowdy court case in Bombay to witnessing a ritualized animal slaughter in Nepal and journeying in "third-class Ceylonese box cars". As he learned about Eastern cultures and religions, Martin discovered the common message of love that was shared by different religious figures, like Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, and Moses. Ultimately, Martin's rich experience of other cultures and lifestyles helped him grow as a conscious, empathic human.
