On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, I finally somewhat return to our old “TVP Interviews” series, wherein we host discussions with self-liberators to talk about their philosophy, liberated lifestyle(s), their location, & more.

Today, I’m pleased to welcome Barend & Maarten to the show.

Barend spent about a decade living on a sailboat in a harbor with his neighbor, Maarten, but has now returned to somewhat more conventional living, with a focus on philosophy and advocacy of Geoism (Georgism).

Maarten has a dual lifestyle, splitting time between his sailboat in the harbor and van nomadism across Europe. At present, he’s awaiting a mast repair and then is hoping to go on some actual sailing ventures (even though short, and primarily freshwater).

From recent travels, he offers great insights on the growing totalitarianism and border controls, even throughout the E.U., and even a couple unique possibilities for self-liberators looking for land in certain E.U. countries.

Please enjoy this great conversation with Maarten and Barend. Cheers.

SHOW GUIDE:

Barend: they spent the whole day on a boating adventure
Barend: used to live on a boat in the harbor as Maarten’s neighbor, but now lives in a house
Maarten: happy he lives in a boat/in a van, as housing is way too expensive in the EU
Me: Maarten, what led you to your liberated lifestyle of splitting time between a van/boat? Any advice, adventures you’ll share, etc.?
Maarten: waiting for his boat to be repaired so he can go on an adventure; also wants to make a long Norway trip in the van
The E.U situation is bad for van nomads, too — stay at the $25/night KOA campground or the bludg might arrest you, take your shit, etc.
Barend fills us in on his background, philosophy, current lifestyle, and more
Barend’s book: On Liberty and Earth Ownership
An interesting philosophical discussion on Georgism, freedom, definitions, etc.
