2009 年读到过这事，[1, 2]。不管怎样，他好像出了一本关于自己这段旅程的新书，叫《Walden on Wheels: On the Open Road from Debt to Freedom》[3]。如果你在 Google 上搜 Ken Ilgunas，会发现铺天盖地全是相关报道。[1] http://www.salon.com/2009/12/07/living_in_a_van/ [2] http://blogs.newsobserver.com/campusnotes/duke-grad-school-o...…
Read about this in 2009, [1, 2]. Anyways, looks like he has a new book out about his journey, called Walden on Wheels: On the Open Road from Debt to Freedom [3]. If you search google for Ken Ilgunas looks like there is a full court press about it.

……以前零零碎碎见过也体会过不少这类话题，所以当它们串在一起、真正把现状讲透时，感觉挺好的。我有两个相关的链接：- Ken Ilgunas 写了一本书《Walden on Wheels》，讲的是他为了避免背上研究生债务而住在房车里的故事（在此之前他拼命打工还清了本科学贷）。我还没读过这本书，但从他的博客来看，他是个很棒的作家和冒险家。http://www.amazon.com/Walden-Wheels-Open-Road-Freedom/dp/054...…
…seeing and feeling a lot of these individual topics before, so it's nice when they all come together to really shine light on the situation. I've got 2 links related to this: - Ken Ilgunas wrote a book "Walden on Wheels" about living in a van to avoid graduate school debt (after working hard to pay off his undergraduate debt). I haven't read the book, but from his blog, he's a good writer and adventurer. http://www.amazon.com/Walden-Wheels-Open-Road-Freedom/dp/054...…
