The Homeless Guy

| Comments (3)

One man's blog about being homeless.

Ever wonder what it's like inside a shelter? Or, how to survive on the streets?

Better yet... how a homeless guy manages to get a computer and enter the high-tech world of Blogging?

Homeless since 1982, Kevin Barbieux (a.k.a. The Homeless Guy) has been Blogging about his experiences -- in and out of shelters, on and off the streets -- since 2002.

Here's everything you ever wanted to know (and more!) about people who live a homeless lifestlye -- by choice or otherwise.

In his own words: "There's more to homeless people than being homeless. There are many myths about homelessness. Hopefully, this blog will help dispel some of these."

  • Check out his OTHER site where he tries to make a living by knitting.

  • He's also got another site... this one is about Nashville.

    Trivial sidenote:
    Kevin is from MY neck of the woods: Nashville, Tennessee. Who knows, I may look him up soon for a one-on-one interview!

    Love your site, Kevin! I think you've done a lot of great stuff for the homeless community, and I wish you all the best. By chance, are you going to be at the Blogger Conference in Nashville?

    UPDATE: By the way, Kevin was at BlogNashville. I spotted him poking away at his laptop on several occasions. He's VERY connected in the blogging community!
