Book Review: Modern Day Hobo by Bill Lindala – A Guide to Life on the Move

In a world where remote work, digital nomadism, and minimalist living are on the rise, the idea of home is shifting. For many, the dream of traveling full-time feels just out of reach—too complicated, uncertain, and risky. But for Bill Lindala, it wasn’t just a dream. It was a decision.

In Modern Day Hobo, Bill takes us along for the ride, offering an insider’s look at what it’s like to live a location-independent life while maintaining a “normal” routine. This book isn’t just about seeing the world; it’s about making the world your home—one Airbnb at a time.

An Honest & Entertaining Look at Full-Time Travel

Bill is a regular guy with a wild idea: What if I worked my regular job but lived in a different city every week? Instead of dreaming about it, he made it happen, testing the limits of flexibility, adaptability, and curiosity. From the small quirks of different Airbnbs to the joys (and challenges) of finding community on the road, Modern Day Hobo is part memoir, part travel guide, and part personal experiment in radical mobility.

Unlike the glossy version of #VanLife you might see on Instagram, Bill keeps it real. He shares practical insights on packing light, choosing Airbnbs, balancing work with exploration, and finding stability in a transient lifestyle. He doesn’t sugarcoat the inconveniences of constantly being on the move—after all, not every Airbnb is a winner, and living out of a suitcase has its moments. But that’s what makes this book so compelling. It’s honest, funny, and packed with lessons for anyone considering a more nomadic lifestyle.

A Sober Curator Contributor & Traveler with Purpose

Beyond the travel, there’s another reason we love Bill—he’s one of us. As a Sober Curator Contributor, he represents the beauty of sober travel, proving that adventure doesn’t require alcohol to be fulfilling. In Modern Day Hobo, he talks about finding new experiences, meeting people from all walks of life, and making meaningful connections—all without needing a drink in hand. It’s refreshing to read a travel memoir that doesn’t glamorize partying but instead celebrates the true essence of exploration.

Follow Bill’s Journey Beyond the Book

If Modern Day Hobo leaves you itching for more, you’re in luck. Bill continues documenting his favorite stays, hidden gems, and top travel experiences on his website. It’s the perfect companion to the book, offering real-time updates on his latest adventures and insights into the ever-changing landscape of digital nomad life.

Final Thoughts: A Must-Read for Travel Lovers & Sober Explorers

Whether you dream of ditching your lease for a life on the go or want to live vicariously through someone who did, Modern Day Hobo is an engaging, insightful, and downright fun read. Bill Lindala brings a fresh perspective to the nomadic lifestyle, reminding us that home isn’t a place—it’s a mindset.

🚀 Ready to embrace the adventure? Grab a copy of Modern Day Hobo and start plotting your journey. And don’t forget to follow Bill’s blog for even more sober-friendly travel tips and destination inspiration.
