Hey ya’ll, Shane here. I’ve got some pretty big news for you. As regular listeners will know, my preferred vonu strategy was and is minimalist sailboating — in other words, I want to sell all of my shit, buy a boat, and traverse the high seas. The only problem? I…

Self-seeking can be defined as: “A continuing informal exploration of various ways for realizing greater personal opportunity in the present world.” If that doesn’t describe Rayo’s life (as we know it), I don’t know what does. It was also the main task for this season 2 of The Vonu Podcast;…
Below, you will find the shortest, and I believe to be, final publication from the batch we’ve been busy getting digitized–this one is called Dwelling Portably [sic], published by Bert and Holly Davis. To provide some background information, Bert and Holly pursued an interesting, and quite radical vonu lifestyle–for many…
