Interesting article but it would have been even more interesting if the author had chosen to go more in depth about his daily activities and how Suelo copes with loneliness and boredom. IMO, these problems would be much more difficult than the physical hardships he faces.
Loneliness and boredom are not real issues. They're issues fabricated by the mind. With presence, they disappear. That's the whole point of his lifestyle: presence. The reason he dislikes money is because money indicates a distaste of the present and an obsession with the future.
I recommend reading Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now for more information.

You should read his blog. It sounds like he's pretty social and has a lot to think about.

Loneliness is definitely a real issue.
The fact that this guy keeps a blog and Eckhart Tolle expects an audience shows the value they place on social contact.
It's only an issue if you place importance on it.
How exactly does one avoid placing importance on the company of others?
