Vagrants in Paradise: a travel-humor essay

by Paul Howard

Overview

Vagrants in Paradise chronicles the off the cuff adventures of author Paul Howard as he and hometown friends fly to the Big Island of Hawaii on a one-way ticket to volunteer on organic farms. The trip starts promising as friends Nate, Dalton, Manny, and Paul meet generous beachcombers and they settle into island life with grand plans. However, the first two farms end in disaster, and they're faced with the challenges of their minimalist gypsy life. Tensions run high and pockets run ragged, all the while dealing with a brake-less van that almost kills them on a bustling tourist street. In between farms they befriend multiple eccentric locals, get caught in sticky situations, and do it all with the help of their not-so-trusty cargo van. Tsunamis, volcanoes, broken bones, celebrities, felons, wild boars, kind Vietnamese men, and much more create the fabric that is this one of a kind tale of setting off into the great unknown seeking new knowledge, adventure, and soulful fulfillment.
