Glenn Campbell is this dude who lives entirely on the road, with no fixed residence. It started when he was laid off from his job as an airline baggage handler. The good news: He still got to fly for free for three more years without the inconvenience of working for it. The bad news: He had little money and couldn't afford to both travel and maintain a permanent home. The solution: He became deliberately homeless, finding ways to live comfortably and travel continuously while paying little or no rent. (He still has employment, but it doesn't require a fixed location.) This blog recounts some of the things he has learned along the way. It's all about freedom, creativity and finding clever ways to do what you want within the limited resources you have.
