So he packed up his clarinet, toothbrush and sleeping bag and hitchhiked there with no money at all.Braving hunger, deserts, amoebas and rape attempts by frustrated truck drivers, Tom followed in the footsteps of the orginal hippies and arrived in Goa with less than a dollar to his name."I bet this guy never worked a day in his life." Howard Marks
