On May 7th, 1970, London, a young man met a girl who first arrived in London. The young man was studying MBA at London Business School. He was about to graduate and become a nine-to-fiver. However, his life was going to change because of the girl in front of him. The two of them fell in love when they first met and they got married a year later.

Normally, most people who don’t want to change too much will choose to get a stable job and live a middle-class life after their graduation. However, the young couple don't think this is what they want. They want more freedom in their life. As a result, they bought a small car a year later and started an overland journey.

First, they drove across Europe. They sold their car half way. Then they traveled to Asia. It took them more than one year. Finally, they arrived in Australia. Here they met with many other people who wanted to travel on their own, all of whom wanted to know the details(细节) of their travels. So the couple published(出版) a book to share their travel experiences. This book soon became popular with backpackers(背包客) and the couple went on writing books one by one.
