The Traveling Piano Tuner Who Chooses to Live on the Streets
A few years ago, after a long day at work, Richard began to consider whether he really needed any of his possessions. Looking around his London flat at the TV he never had time to watch and the playstation he’d never even used, he realised that all he truly cared about was his hot shower.
Yearning for the freedom to travel, he began reducing his expenses so that he didn’t have to spend all his time working and could start enjoying life while being able to pay off his debts.
A year and a half later, Richard is living on the streets with all his worldly possessions in a bag strapped to his bike, earning a living as a travelling piano tuner. He’s now paid off all his debts and is the happiest he’s ever been.
