My Volvo Adventure

In September 2014, Joseph threw everything he owned into storage and moved into a rusted, steel blue, '83 Volvo station wagon he bought for $800 on the North Shore. His reason for doing so was simple. He no longer saw the point in paying monthly rent to live in the Honolulu apartment that he shared with two other people. As the owner of a small photography business, the 27- year old said he'd rather put his profits directly into his work, instead of paying to live on a property he does not own. Without the responsibility of rent, Joseph now uses his money for projects or camera equipment he wouldn't be able to afford otherwise. By the end of August, he had moved his essential belongings -- a laundry basket of clothes, his computer, camera, and surfboard --into his car and set out on the road.
