"Leaving home to see the world is something that succeeding generations of young New Zealanders have done in ever-increasing numbers. The 'overseas experience,' or the 'OE,' has been the topic of countless individual travel accounts, and has provided subject matter for plays, films, and novels. Until now, there hasn't been a history of the OE. Based on the oral accounts of several hundred travelers across all seven decades of the OE, this vibrant history shows how the OE has changed over time. Well illustrated with the ephemera of popular culture surrounding youth travel, Flying Kiwis traces the emergence of the OE, as well as the transport, media, and other networks that have supported it. Laced with humor and entertaining anecdotes, Flying Kiwis is an essential read for anyone who has arrived in a foreign city with only a few dollars and the address of a friend's cousin"--Back cover.
