Born in London just after the war, Mick Flaum left Britain after college for Canada, then hitchhiked to Venice Beach, California where he met his wife and left behind his aspirations to be a successful advertising executive to instead live "day by day" embracing a hippie's life of freedom and adventure. The pair hit the road in a station wagon with five children, two dogs and a bag of brown rice for a worldwide tour over a seven year period – from California to Europe – and back, with two more babies in tow. Along the way, they made many new friends and spread inspiration through their simple way of life and their trust in the universe to provide.
