Part nostalgic hippie memoir and part travel guide, Inese Civkulis's fictionalized odyssey begins in Summer of Love Berkeley with a young woman -- Nebraska-born, raised Catholic, and in love for the first time -- discovering the delights and perils of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. But always at the heart of the adventure is a rocky love story, the relationship flowing and ebbing across eighteen countries in six years, as the pun-loving global explorer sets out in 1970 with her boyfriend Ben along the Hippie Trail through Asia.

Part nostalgic hippie memoir and part travel guide, Inese Civkulis's fictionalized odyssey begins in Summer of Love Berkeley with a young woman -- Nebraska-born, raised Catholic, and in love for the first time -- discovering the delights and perils of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. But always at the heart of the adventure is a rocky love story, the relationship flowing and ebbing across eighteen countries in six years, as the pun-loving global explorer sets out in 1970 with her boyfriend Ben along the Hippie Trail through Asia. Inese is as effervescent and intrepid a backpacking companion as Kerouac himself might have wished for! In fact, it could be said that ON THE ROAD meets EAT PRAY LOVE in this ebullient memoir-- with bits of TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY thrown in--the witty parts. As Inese and her not-always-true love embrace adventures ranging from the thrill of living rent-free in a centipede-infested hut on Tonga to life-and-death on a Balinese beach, the once easily intimidated young woman unearths downright heroic strength. She may struggle to keep up on a Mount Everest trek, but she is the one who continues CPR on a seemingly lifeless drowning victim when everyone else has given up. Whether you're re-living your own Sixties adventures, whether you've already trekked the globe, or you're a Generation Z longing for your first visa stamps, Come Dream With Me is the armchair voyager's dream-come-true.
