Living outside-the-box

The Way of a Peculiar Pilgrim

It is one thing to THINK outside the box, 

LIVING outside the box is a whole different thing.

My new blog is called, "The Way of a Peculiar Pilgrim" and it will be exploring some of my unconventional exploits along with the adventures of others on the road less traveled.  Some of my counter-culture habits currently involve home schooling, freelance writing, a few upcoming entrepreneurial prospects, travel hacking, debt free living and (gasp) life without cable.  I also have a extensive Life list I am in pursuit of that will blow your mind.

I want to share a couple of links to peculiar or unconventional living to spark your imagination:

Take Phil and Chaldea at http://livingunconventional.com/ who have refit a school bus to be a home.

Or Conni Biesalski who lives as a nomad and you read her adventures here http://www.alifeofblue.com/

Or my hero, a true outside-the-box thinker, Chris Guillebeau, who tells us that we don't have to live our life the way everyone expects us to.    I highly recommend his site and this article in particular  http://chrisguillebeau.com/3x5/unconventional-ideas/

Then there is Rolf Potts whose book, "Vagabonding An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel" was the beginning of this adventure for me.  You can read about his adventures and the philosophy behind vagabonding at http://www.vagabonding.net/

I will be posting more to Life of a Peculiar Pilgrim soon.  Love to have your input!!
