How Dirtbag Rich looks in Santiago de Compostella You might be thinking to yourself: “Ditching your job and running off into the woods is self-indulgent and irresponsible. People shouldn’t do that (literally or figuratively).” The thought makes sense. Perhaps the most fundamental human emotional need is to feel valued. To be happy, you have to feel useful. And in order to feel useful, at a bare mi

“The world needs people in touch with their humanity, their mortality, and place in the natural world. And for a million reasons, the world needs people who know how to have a good time for the hell of it.
