Welcome To The New Hobopoet!

Five years!  I started Hobopoet five years ago while I was living in my van, in Gainesville Georgia USA,  as part of a voluntary “homeless” experiment.   Of course, my van was my home–  so really it was an experiment in voluntary simplicity.

All the stories and adventures from the last five years are still available at the old Hobopoet site–  just read the archives at:  www.Hobopoet.Blogspot.com

What a long strange trip it’s been!

Now I’m in San Francisco.  I’ve got my own internet company and am finally financially independent.  No wore wage slavery!

But that doesn’t mean the adventure is over.  Quite the opposite.

Now its time to raise the standards and embark on a whole new set of challenges, experiments, and adventures.

Thus the new site for Hobopoet!

This time, I hope the adventure will be more interactive. I’m adding Forums to this site, so we can all share our strategies and experiences with:

• Voluntary Simplicity
• Freedom
• Kindness
• Self-Reliance
• Independent Travel

The new site is also more media friendly, so I’ll be adding more video, pictures, and sounds of travels and adventures.

Welcome!  I look forward to building a world-wide community of Hobopoets–  people committed to freedom (economic, physical, mental, and emotional), life-long learning, and adventure!
