"One part memoir, one part guidebook, The Mystical Backpacker invites readers to explore their own inner terrain as they learn how to create their own unique version of a modern day walk-about or vision quest. Tired of living a life crafted in response to expectations, Hannah Papp quit her job, bought a EuroRail ticket and a map, notified her landlady, and left town. Embarking on a 3-month long journey across Europe with no plan and no direction, Hannah stumbled into becoming a modern day Mystical Backpacker. Along the way her discoveries and the teachers she encountered allowed her to go on a deeper journey into the self and the spirit--finally exposing the real self she had long been lacking. The Mystical Backpacker teaches readers to identify the signs along the road that lead them to their teachers and shows readers how to reorient their own life map toward fulfilling their true destiny. Ultimately, The Mystical Backpacker offers a solution, a way to break free and find your inner self's rhythms and needs. It's time you hit the road and become a mystical backpacker"--,Provided by publisher
