Time to take a break from my rambling about myself and Boreno.
I don’t do recommendation posts too often – and no, this isn’t paid! – so this is personal.
I was approached out of the blue by a reader named Tyler Niccum, who happens to be one hell of an artist. He sent me a link to his graphic novel Hinterlife, which is totally free to download.
His book, which is 259 pages mostly consumed by incredible sketches of his life and vagabonding, became my companion on a couple of rainy, no-WiFi nights in the national parks in Sarawak, Borneo.
The book is an autobiography of sorts, starting with his parents, friends, and their reactions to his decision to travel. Give it time – my favorite parts were when he rides the rails and starts tramping around the US.
Tyler writes: “Who are we as human beings? Are we mere witnesses to the gears of the world? Or are we participants?” Love it.
Hinterlife is brutally honest and personal, even detailing fears, first kisses, victories, and letdowns. Download it for free, keep it on your laptop, and enjoy flipping through the artistic illustrations of a vagabond’s life.
You can get Hinterlife in PDF form (free) from Tyler’s blog:
