The Beach Bum’s Guide to Living Incognito 
This is your how-to for dropping off the radar without dropping off the map. Want to ditch the 9-to-5 grind, disappear from the algorithm, and still live a life of sand, surf, and sin? This book lays it all out — from hacking your lifestyle to playing invisible in plain sight.

You’ll learn how to blend in, live cheap, stay free, and find the magic in being nobody — all while building a life that actually feels like yours. No filters, no spreadsheets, no “boss energy.” Just you, the tropics, and a plan that actually works.

Getting lost is a nightmare, unless that was your plan.

In a world increasingly dominated by digital surveillance and interconnectedness, the allure of disappearing—of truly living incognito—has never been stronger. Whether you’re looking to escape the political climate, societal pressures, or the looming threat of digital IDs that will track your every move, this guide will provide practical advice and strategies to live incognito. This isn’t just fantasy; it’s a roadmap to freedom.

A life lived incognito is a rewarding lifestyle filled with wonders that you can’t begin to imagine, but there is a price. There are sacrifices, and when push comes to shove, you’ve got to push harder than one of Elon’s rockets headed to Mars.

I recall watching my father one fateful day. Cancer had taken one of his lungs already, and he was processing about 2% of his oxygen with his remaining smoky black lung. He was getting ready for me to drive him to the hospital; he knew, and I knew, there would be no return trip. It was an ugly, brutal day.

He showered, shaved, and put on a suit, sans the tie. He went to his jewelry drawer and pulled out his favorite watch. His father had given it to him. He slid it over his fist and onto his wrist. He looked at me and said, “Son, you got to do what you got to do.” It was his last lesson for me.

At the time, he had a 7-figure bank account and a 7-figure income tax dispute. As he dwindled towards his final demise, he had all the papers drawn up, signed, and notarized, and transferred all his available cash to a numbered account in Panama. Before the grass grew over his grave, I departed North America.

The taxman failed to appreciate the brilliance of my maneuverability.

Life incognito is like that; it is harder than Chinese arithmetic, but if you do your homework, it all adds up, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Beach Bum’s Guide is a starting point. It shows you what you gotta do to live life on your terms, but the devil remains in the details.
