Survive Without Money, He'll Show You How

CAPITOLA, Calif.- It's been 12 years since Daniel Suelo spent a dime of his own.

In 2000, Suelo went off the grid so to speak and started living in caves in the Utah Canyonlands. He lives off the land and any meals his friends bring him.

The Wan Who Quit Money is now on the LA Times Best Seller list.

Suelo and author Mark Sundeen will be presenting the book together at the Capitola Book Cafe on May 9 at 7:30 as part of a larger book tour across California and the Pacific Northwest.
