May Book Club Pick - Walden On Wheels

*Please note that this post contains affiliate links.

Hi there,

This months vote was tight, it was a vote between Walden on Wheels, Vagabonding, and The Jungle. By a vote of just 1 more, the winning book was Walden on Wheels. The vote takes place each month by the book club members on our Facebook group. This should be an interesting read, and I will love to hear what he has to say about van life and getting out of debt from it!

From the Amazon description of the book: 

"In this frank and witty memoir, Ken Ilgunas lays bare the existential terror of graduating from the University of Buffalo with $32,000 of student debt. Ilgunas set himself an ambitious mission: get out of debt as quickly as possible. Inspired by the frugality and philosophy of Henry David Thoreau, Ilgunas undertook a 3-year transcontinental jour¬ney, working in Alaska as a tour guide, garbage picker, and night cook to pay off his student loans before hitchhiking home to New York.

Debt-free, Ilgunas then enrolled in a master’s program at Duke University, determined not to borrow against his future again. He used the last of his savings to buy himself a used Econoline van and outfitted it as his new dorm. The van, stationed in a campus parking lot, would be more than an adventure—it would be his very own “Walden on Wheels.”
