The quality of the beat generation that Kerouac expresses in this excerpt is a spirit of adventure.
You can see in this passage that he is talking about his 'life on the road' - meaning that he is always traveling and experiencing new things, which was a common thing for the beat generation of the 1960s. They wanted a change, both in their personal lives, and in the world.
