Editorial reviews
The world traveler adventure was born as a result of the U.K.'s illegalization of any gathering of more than 100 people accompanied by amplified music, which includes sounds wholly or predominantly characterized by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats. New Age travelers
(an alternative movement of nomads), squatters encouraged by Thatcher¹s repression to leave the cities, along with clubbers frustrated by the closure of clubs and early raves were driven to leave England. They traveled to the South American continent, Africa, Eastern Europe, the United States, Australia, Asia, among other countries, to spread their spirit of freedom and music, inspiring others to follow.
