I’m starting a series of articles on my blog, inspired by a guy I met on the bus the other day. The guy’s name is Jacob, and he is a cancer survivor who has spent the last 3 years hitchhiking across America so he could experience everything he would have wished he had if his cancer had not gone into remission.

He currently lives in random places on Oahu, and he sleeps in a hammock. He does odd jobs during the day, and then explores around and lives with a minimal amount of belongings. Jacob is one of about a zillion people without homes here on Oahu, and his story was fascinating.

So, I’ve decided to start a series of interviews with homeless people, which I will write about on the blog here for the next few weeks. I’m going to try to get a picture of them, too, and hopefully you find this series interesting. It won’t start for a couple of weeks, because for the next week I will be in Las Vegas for Affiliate Summit 2009, but after I get home I’m busting out the tape recorder and the digital camera so I can create:
