The Hitchhike by Mark Paul Smith is a captivating and inspiring read that is perfect for anyone seeking a transformative travelogue that explores the universal human desire for peace and understanding, and will resonate with readers who appreciate stories of self-discovery, cultural immersion, and the power of human connection.

I loved traveling Europe in the early 1970s with Mark Paul Smith in his book, “The Hitchhike.” No, I wasn’t with Mark in person, but it felt like it. Thanks for the adventure. This is an easy and very entertaining read. I recommend it.

I enjoyed reading this account of Mark Paul Smith’s hitchhiking adventure through Europe in 1972. I remember around that time reading Michener’s “The Drifters” and Smith’s account is the real-life version of the novel.
