Experience the ultimate journey of self-discovery in this captivating memoir that bridges the gap between a wandering vagabond's freedom and a Silicon Valley entrepreneur. In Hitchin’, Adiel Gorel invites readers on a remarkable trek across continents and consciousness. From the disciplined ranks of the military to the sultry, high-vibe backyard of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India, Gorel’s life has been anything but "normal". Driven by an insatiable hunger for meaning, he spent his formative years hitchhiking across Europe, the United States, Asia, and South America, learning that true security lies not in possessions, but in trusting the inherent goodness of humanity. This isn't just a travelogue; it's an exploration of what it means to be "in the world, but not of it". Gorel recounts near-death encounters in the Andes, psychedelic revelations in the Ecuadorian jungle, and traveling with Jan Kerouac, daughter of Jack Kerouac. These raw, authentic experiences laid the foundation for his unexpected evolution: from a penniless seeker to a Stanford-educated engineer and a pioneer in real estate investments. Through wit, candor, and insightful reflection, Gorel demonstrates how embracing the "nothingness" of life—letting go of the need for total control—allows for the spontaneous magic of the universe to take over. Whether you are a spiritual seeker, a travel enthusiast, or an aspiring entrepreneur, this book chronicles one mans’ quest to find balance, fortitude, and an attempt to live life to its fullest potential.
