Kaleena and Brian delve into the world of the Beatles around the mid 1960s and the events surrounding the trip to India that George Harrison and his wife Patti Boyd took in 1966. We look at the travel trends that led to Harrison’s fateful trip and the subsequent travels of the entire Beatles gang to India following George’s trip, and examine the travel trend that emerged in the post-WWII, post-colonial world of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s and ushered in a novel form of travel as a way to explore and discover meaning in life, as popularized by the Beat Poets and (especially) the Beatles, as well as new ideas around crowdsourcing travel knowledge.
