Young Homeless Professional

Where is home? And how do we find it? During the summer of 2000, Kenny wanders about seeking answers to these fundamental questions while sleeping homeless in forests at night and working as a professional naturalist during the daylight hours. Along the way he meets weird characters, has bizarre conversations in the YWCO hot tub, encounters the Keepers of Beauty, plasters Athens, Georgia with free Post It Poetry and gains deep philosophical insight and inspiration from a brick mason living in his van. Ironically, to discover where he truly belongs and find his place in the wider world he had to become a Young Homeless Professional.


Author Bio:  Kenny loves to go outside and explore! His favorite thing to do is take people outdoors so that they can learn to love Nature and get excited about it too! He’s been a science teacher and Naturalist since dirt was invented.  Well, maybe not that long but for quite a while. Nowadays he’s lucky to live in Southeast Asia where he can explore rainforests, coral reefs and mangroves on a regular basis.
