    I don't know on this one how others feel on it but I love the word stealth :) To me it shows cunning and strength and survivability and independence when applied to van life. I just don't think of stealth as sneaky but yea I get it, my second thought is stealth for sneaking and spying on other...

    Feedback on "work from home" jobs..

    LOL what is the purpose here? money for survival or do you NEED life connection, sense of purpose, out of the house and SOME human interaction? A p/t job can do that but also volunteer work can do that too. Key being, you gotta make that first move GG. You gotta step out ya know and put...

    Share one weird/odd/unusual thing about yourself

    nothing physically or psychic type weirdo with me. Only issue is I am a diehard minimalist type and I always keep this active in my life, up front at all times. I feel it works totally in life vs wanting all the crap and clutter of stuff and 'life drama' thru people. I minimalize my...

    Should HOWA be a Membership Organization?
