Gregory Pakis: Memoir of a Suburban Hoe-Bo

The Suburban Hobo Speaks

Memoir of a Suburban Hoe-Bo

(Memoir, Travel, 90,000 words)

Stuck for an idea for his next novel, a young writer lives an alternate lifestyle in Melbourne, Australia.
Where others live in a house, he lives in a van.
Where others have a spouse, he has open relationships.
Where others work 9-5, he works 5-9.
His alternative lifestyle also includes hitch-hiking, sex parties, meditation, astral projection, and other experiments with his spiritual consciousness.
He'll do anything to get him to the edge; get him 'the high' .. and maybe give him something to write about.
Is this lifestyle just his way of liberating himself from the conventional and help him become a successful writer? Or is he trying to get away from a shadow in his past that started from a haunting hotel room experience that is starting to catch up to him..
