I'm Living in MY CAR and I'm NOT Looking Back! | The Endless Road

- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- In this video, I share the experience of suddenly becoming unhoused from my seasonal employment. As someone who has relied on housing from seasonal jobs for the past few years, watch as I cope with the abrupt changes to my life. Honestly, this is why I love having my car set-up like it is... it is my home.
Join me on my car life journey as I share my experiences living in my car and embracing the open road. Follow along as I explore new places and live a minimalist lifestyle on the endless road.
Since 2016 I've been uploading hiking, backpacking, and car camping videos on this RUclips channel. I'm currently using seasonal work in inspiring locations to pay the bills and traveling in between. I hope you consider subscribing if you're new!

Taking your destiny and putting it in your own hands. I started out homeless living in a Jeep Liberty about 6 years ago. I lived in the Jeep and saved for a year and bought a brand new cargo trailer to convert to sleep and live in. I’ve since bought a brand new truck and paid it off early. When I get tired I rent a cheap flea bitten hotel room for a while to regain my strength and focus. I’m houseless still but I have a sizable savings account and I’m debt free. Stay focused.
I love hearing this! Inspiring!!
I bought a van this past June. I've been getting ready to travel in. I plan to leave my home January 3rd. I also plan to stay at hotels periodically to recharge both myself and my gear. I can't wait! I'm counting down the days. Stay safe.
@@originalsixxsame!!! And work- I need a good upload speed so hoping to air b&b one or two times a week to work and get a nice long hot shower :)
Awesome - the Government won't like reading your reply here. BUT it's the kind of action required to address all the rising costs and housing issues.
Very motivated
Thank you for inspiring I’m sick n tired at 54 paying thousands and thousands and at the end I’ll have nothing
I want to at least enjoy what’s left of my life
My kids are grown and good
I know exactly what you mean.
I'm 60 n starting over, again.
My husband is deceased (2018) n my kids are grown too.
Currently living in my deceased mothers house, which wasnt left to me.
I don't want to make these people anymore richer than they are.
So.... I'm currently looking for a van to make my next home out of
Much happiness n peace to you!!!💜🩶💜
Mid 30's, best friend died, lost my relationship after 13 years about a year ago. I'm not just stacking my money and trying to grieve those two things. I've also been doing some things I've been wanting to do. I've lost 30lbs. It's rough but I just keep marching forward. We all have our own path and I wish you the best of luck and happiness!
Exactly! The reality of a home remaining “yours” after death is slim. Live life NOW ❤
Don’t wait. Even a minivan works. I can stand up in my van and that’s great for bad weather.
@angelicatorres8108: So True; they take All your money, but in the end; they don't even Appreciate it. And the Day that you cannot Pay Anymore; the landlord wants to get rid of the tenant As Soon As Possible. For those Who Can Do it; and they are Not in danger; And if it means that You'll be able to SAVE SOME MONEY at the end of the month; and then Do Something Worthwhile with that MONEY; why not!!!!
You are homeless ? I don’t see someone that’s homeless. I see a strong woman who is taking her life in her hands and living it to the fullest! Homeless? Not all you are to busy going on adventures and living life to have to worry about sweeping and mopping and dusting a mortgage ankle weight. I got so much respect for you! Glad I tripped on your page!
Living in my minivan is homeless
I see a spoiled brat who has no idea what suffering is
I own a 2 bed, 2 bath townhome. It's better than renting or living in my car. 😂
@@BREEZYM6015 I own a 3 bedroom 2 bath home, and I cannot even imagine the thought of living in my car. As a woman, I would be terrified to do so. I have heard of some horror stories and close calls. Much respect to those who choose to do so. It is not for everyone however.
I'm on a similar journey. Just have to make it work. Fo rnow, I really don't miss the confines of a 4 wall room existence in front of a box of endless commercials and inactivity. I have my pitbull to explore with.
The old saying is true,Home is where you park it. A house is just material, a home is where you make memories.
In the immortal words of George Carlin " A house is just a place to store your shit while you go out and get more shit!"
She’s not packing that stuff
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
Keep it up girl you rule😊
As a person who has worked for a 5 Star Luxury brand, you have all my sympathy. If the guests only knew what we went through to serve them in the manor that they are definitely paying for, they would be shocked at how we actually do our jobs. The hospitality industry changed during Covid. I get that. But it’s to get the industry back up to par. AND Bravo for speaking up!!! Chin up lovie. Better things are on the horizon. 🤓
She literally doesn’t need sympathy she chose to live in her car
As I'm listening to you talk about the details of your housing, I find myself getting more and more angry, lol. Obviously, you are 50x more patient than me. I would have left if they moved me the 3rd time. It's totally unacceptable in my opinion. Whoever is in charge of employee housing ought to be fired. I'm glad you decided to leave that place. Despite the horrible treatment, you're still in good spirits, so keep up the good vibe! It will pay off at some point.
What a hapless string of events! A complete turnabout from last year's privileged management digs. Have you considered that refusing to start earlier than planned this year when they asked you could have led to them dismissing you early? Since you agreed to their final housing option, which turned out not to be available, that may explain why they decided to pay you for those final ten days. Be happy for that. Think of your next two weeks as your vacation. Be grateful you experienced this while in the continental USA. Imagine if something like this were to happen to you if you were in Antarctica. Be careful! Your survival skills may be called upon to face difficulties down the road. But do not ruminate. Inhale nature's beauty and leave the past behind. 😊🎉
"I can be loyal for a long time, but when the switch flips, I'm done with you." Girl, SAME! Also, my gawd, what incompetence! Your standards are perfectly reasonable and you were absolutely an asset to them in your thinking and understanding of how things should work. I agree 💯 with you and how you handled it.
I went fulltime in my SUV last year and honestly have been thriving for the most part. Plus, my car is cleaner and my bed more comfy than any hotel. I can't believe in 29 days it will be one year! I'm spending winter in Arizona exploring that state and also New Mexico since I'd never been to them before.
Looking forward to watching your new adventures!
Hi! I've been following your journey on Instagram. Seems like you are thriving! Thanks for watching!
Way to go!!! Thank you so much for sharing!! Im 53, 2x divorcee with one broken engagement. My kids are grown and on their own. Im a full time RV Nomad since January 2019! I love my RV Life. Chase 70 degrees. None of us are guaranteed a tomorrow. 1st viewer new subscriber!
Why did you include your broken engagement? 🥴 You're in such high demand? 😅
Some of us were not meant to live a cookie cutter lifestyle.
I'm very much like you and have never capitulated to societal pressures.
You're going to find your way! You are smart, beautiful, kind and very humble.
I have a saying that goes: whatever you do, do it with soul!
Put your head down and keep pushing forward.
As you can clearly see from the comments, you have a large support group!
You'll know when you're ready to settle down, till then keep up that amazing spirit and that beautiful smile!
You're an inspiration to many lost souls.
With your credentials you could be a camp host anywhere you want, live there free, get paid and enjoy a simpler life in nature.
@staroceans8677 Except she whines publicly & isn't a hard worker. I wouldn't hire her.
@Marigold-m2 if you don’t see MAJOR flaws with the safety violations I’m complaining about TRUST ME I would NEVER work for YOU!
@@nomad_unknown Don't bother answering this type of comments,
Just stay strong, keep doing what you do , reach your goal girl, stay positive & strong
@@Marigold-m2c you next Thursday.
@@Marigold-m2 always an a**hole in the comments.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your contribution!
WOW the views you capture are absolutely breathtaking. If they look that amazing on film, I can only imagine the awe you feel in real life!
Welcome to van/car life. There are THOUSANDS of us out here, most not by choice
Everything in life is a CHOICE
@@JessicaRodriguez-zy5gznot everything. But attitude to challenges- that is a choice.
I actually consider you "free" not homeless, yes changes aren´t always easy but the freedom is worth it. Not many people can wake up in the morning and enjoy those spectacular views, I left the U.S. back in 2008 never looked back been living rent and mortgage free since. Shout out from rural Mexico.
Aren’t you concerned with the high probability of either being kidnapped or unlifed by the cartels and assorted gangs in Mexico?
@@sharonrose1226 No not at all in fact this little rural town where I live is very quiet and peaceful, it´s not at all like they try to paint it in the news and social media.
@@quetzalt.v.1093 if my Spanish was better, I might consider this.
@@sharonrose1226 Hi there good morning from this little rural corner of the world, Spanish or not you have a friend here in Mexico. You have a great and safe day ok...Adam
Likewise, its beautiful here! I'm in the mountains of Mexico about 3 hours east of PV.
I think you should turn your gorgeous pictures of the scenery, into puzzles! And what a great way to hold onto such memories! Beautiful views!
I agree. I feel like I’m taking in these breath taking beautiful views of nature vicariously through this amazing woman’s eyes.
As soon as you said PUYALLUP correctly!!! I became a subscriber!! As a fellow Washingtonian from Spanaway/Graham now Frederickson I am so inspired to start my next chapter at almost 55. Coming across your RUclips channel, has inspired me to live my true destination and journey....
I too living my car but too scared to go viral but you inspired me to make this channel
Maintain calm. Break everything down into steps that can be managed. Listen to your gut feelings. Do not reveal your vulnerabilities, such as location, resources and weaknesses. Do not get in others people's homes or invite them into yours without knowing them for at least a year, as predators will bait and trap, and can wait for that moment for months. Enjoy the small things, nature, treats, moments; be kind to yourself.
It's not about going viral or finding a free ride out there, it's about figuring out what you need and desire, and then finding acceptable means to accomplish your goals. Safe travels and blessings to you 🙏🏾
Peace Journey offers great advice. I have a faceless channel and I respect the privacy of others and of my employers.
@@LilyGazou thank you for your kindness Lilly! I have been scared, hurt, and went through hard times while suffering on several levels due to illness, disability and being shunned for choosing nomad life when I started this journey a few years ago. I chose to be kind, and that's what I found to be my biggest strength. I want to help others, and maybe some day I will post videos of tips when life and my cautions allow.
Because there are predators everywhere, and I found out the hard way sometimes they have soundproof vans...
Be nice to help someone else avoid that altogether. Safe travels 🙏🏾 💕
Oooooh girl! I have one of those switches, too. Stay you!!! I’m sure there are plenty of other employers who will cherish having you being on their team.
Liverpool UK watching. Screw them. Rule your own world. Keep making videos. Helen
I loved that you had a rationale level headed response to the various predicaments with which you were forced to address. I admire you for not naming the company, which might have had backlash and lasting effects…down the road. I can only imagine the joy you felt when you opted to honor yourself despite the concern with missing 10 days of pay only to learn that you would be compensated. Looking forward to seeing your next course of adventure.
I retired at 47 and moved south of the border(50 miles south of San Diego, CA). I bought a house outright and have 300 in fixed monthly expenses (150 HOA, 5 electricty, 40 water, 20 gas, 20 internet, property tax 200 per year, etc..) I am going to use this as a homebase and hope to travel around North America in a class b camper van and around the world very soon.
Are there anymore reasonable prices houses in your area? I can house sit if you need a house sitter. Coming from B.C. Canada. I do have relatives in Michigan and Georgia.
@@user-gb4hl5qj2x In my area...400k USD to 1.5 M. USD. The price has increased exponentially due to the exodus of boomers from Cali to Baja. But elsewhere in northern Baja, there are affordable homes for sale and rent. Thanks for the offer though.
Take me with you! That’s what I wanna do now.
how do you prevent people from moving into your place and stealing stuff while you are gone?
@sashanealand8315 24 hour security and the resort is remote, selcuded and surrounded by ocean and mountains with nearest village located 20 miles away.
I started watching you because I really hope to work seasonal jobs in a couple years when I can take my (small) pension. Housing is my number one worry - I think I'd only be comfortable with jobs that include an RV spot so I can have my own small trailer. I'm so sorry you had to leave your job early but I'm glad to hear they paid you out.
You’ll be able to experience so many wonderful places in your days ahead working seasonally. If the opportunity is available to you, definitely take your trailer and choose your locations around that possibility.
Ever thought about getting a used camper off marketplace?
Check into other kinds of freelance work too. Production assistant in film and video. Location scout. Extra in movies and tv shows. Etc. just ask me how to get started. They life RV people because they can be flexible.
Do you pay into a pension, or is it paid by your former employer?
@@ALH367 definitely!
Currently living in an apartment with my wife and her brother, but our lease is up soon, I've been having problems finding a new apartment due to a felony, So i'm considering letting my wife and her brother find a nice apartment, and me just living in my car until i get my sh*t together, maybe figure something out, start a business or something, go back to school.... I think I'll take this time to reflect on myself and become a better person
Glad your not my husband oops 😂
Greetings from New Zealand. New scriber here. I look forward to watching your future unfold. Woohoo!
Been there and done that years ago. That is the next to the last step to total homelessness. That came when I couldn't afford my car. Things did turn around however.
Glad you turned it around. 👍
You handled all of the adversities exceptionally well! Bravo for class act! Enjoy your early vacation - you definitely earned it! Stay safe!
Christine, I subscribed and look forward to your future videos! I’m an American but I live in Victoria (BC). My mom used to live in Port Angeles, so when you mentioned PA that caught my attention. I found your story in this video to be heart-wrenching. I grew up in a time when what you experienced and what you are going through in terms of living out of a car would be unimaginable. Your resilience and positivity are inspiring! I hope everything works out! ❤
Thank you for sharing the beautiful scenery, and sweet animal encounters with us viewers.
Sorry about the job coming to an unexpected end. As they say "for every door that closes, another opens" and hopefully better opportunities too. Stay safe on the road. 🩷
I can't imagine the complexity of living in a vehicle. Your video is very educational. It makes me realize even more that I am happy my home is paid for and I am debt free. You are a stronger person than I. thank you for sharing, well done.
A lot of these folks are not telling the complete truth. They are making video for money.
@@Lillybell-g4sas a person who living in the car for a year I would say everything is not so dramatically bad. Small inconveniences definitely exist but overall car living as the other housing options has its own pros and cons.
Hello from Australia. Just found your channel in my newsfeed, love your video editing, great job. Looking forward to following your adventures.
It's a beautiful place you've awakened to. I pray your situation will improve.
Beautiful photography. Great job ! This is the first time I have watched your channel.
I get it, I totally do. I had a seasonal at a glamping site in Maine this summer and had some of the issues you did. I'm not in a mgmt position so I couldn't request anything but I get the dealing with half assed mgmt, drama, less than stellar situations. Personally, I feel it is the nature of seasonal work. Most don't have background checks and the caliber of staff we got reflected that. But I also know, from coworkers, that lots of crap goes on in seasonal work places, usually homeless folks (and I mean homeless, not houseless as one commenter corrected you🤔😖) your situation was awful and I'm sorry. I, too, would have been flexible and adaptable because you weren't imagining it would continue to get worse. It's your positive work ethic and that gets taken advantage of. Crazy enough, I did my first seasonal 30 years ago. Some drama was the same but not so much ethical stuff, I think it was because it was owned by one guy, not a conglomerate. I actually interviewed with him directly at his Star Island home and worked his resort in NC. I feel your pain, frustration, anger, disappointment in why people just can't be reliable and responsible human beings. It's sad to me that the mgmt that carries out this extremely unprofessional work ethic is just as bad as, the upper mgmt requiring them to do it. And i left early too! I wasn't ready either but I do have a family and I was needed. But almost the next day, my mind switched as I grieved the change, then I could see only positives about leaving and see the mess I was leaving was for what it was. I was no longer trying to make the best of a half wtitted operation. I get you, Christine. I'm with you, more than you know. By the way, no more seasonals for this "seasoned " gal 😊
There are definitely the pluses an minuses of seasonal work. The big plus for me to continue is that I'm not ready to settle any one place just yet.
Thanks! Good luck girl!
Thank you!!
I also did the car thing for about 3 years with the insane housing time in Toronto. The homeless shelter are dangerous. They finally found a nursing home which is bloody expensive but slightly subsidized. I have been almost a year and will probably look for something cheaper. I Always loved the warmer states or Italy.
When these things happen we tend to think that it's just us an an isolated event, but I would bet this is a normal occurance with this company that's why that are so slow to do anything about it and why there were so many similar problems reoccurring. Sorry you went thru this.
You are very right to be upset by your experiences there. Safety is the bottom line - and fire safety is definitely important to be concerned about and is not trivial. You are exactly right they are allowing complacency to develop by not taking that seriously and that can indeed cost lives. Good on you for holding the line!
The Crescent lake drive is one of my favorites
You are so much more than your last gig! You have somewhere else to be, and something else to do. You WILL conquer! ❤
Sorry for your problems. Not sure what management company you worked for. A few years ago, I worked for Xanterra at Glacier National Park. It was a lovely, professional experience. Looking forward to your adventures.
I've heard great things about Glacier! I'm glad you had a positive experience there.
Glacier is a stunning area!
My friends lived working at Glacier- they still keep in touch with people they met through that.
Not "homeless" so much as unhoused - you said it best! I just found you today and almost didn't click on the video. Glad I did! You got a new subscriber.
Hello 👋 I'm a new subscriber from Atlanta Ga thanks for sharing your adventures with us. STAY BLESSED AND SAFE ❤
OMG the trolls/bots are hilarious. 😂. You were right to depart as they violated their contract. The heck with them. Go enjoy where God is trying to take you now. BTW, the scenery shots are great!
I'm glad you understand my perspective.
I van-Camped for 2 weeks at a SAFEWAY grocery store & Walmart Super Center in Port Angeles, Washington.... Just have to be mindful of all the homeless people walking around, so I carry 4 cans of Bear Spray up front & in the back of my van, and 1 can when I go for walks & such.
I am so sorry! I hope you find a better place to work next summer. It sounds like their operational funds are misappropriated.
I’m on 14 months and almost 60. It’s freedom.
Well done👍
God bless you I’m struggling to not be homeless glad I found your channel
Wishing you the best!
Good for you, enjoy the experience. We have to continue to make the best of our situation. ❤
Hey beautiful soul . All I can say is….. “ their loss “ . Keep on keeping on 😇👍🏼
You look amazing and living ur best life! Blessing indeed ❤
I’m a month into my homelessness as well. I lived in my car for three weeks. I am now in a room with family, but it really wasn’t as bad as I thought it was and I feel so free and I can’t wait to ditch everything and never go back to matrix. Stay safe love ❤️
Wishing you the best!
@@nomad_unknown thank you
It's great that you have a car, I have stayed in my car before for weeks at a time. It's doable and it's what you make of it! Thank you for sharing your life with us, yah bless you
New sub. I really enjoyed the peace and calm of your video.
I was a nomad for 3 years, took a job at a dude ranch in Wickenburg, Arizona… it was a joke, the housing was gross. I was told I would have a private room but was given a room with a lady from the Philippines who worked a totally different shift. The job assignment ended up being a compilation of all the front desk work no one wanted to do. The owner, couldn’t even bring himself to say hello to me. I walked away, never looked a CoolWorks for a job again!
In the future if I nomad again I will have my on sleeping quarters on wheels !
😬 That sounds like an awful experience! Good thing about being a nomad, I suppose, it that it's possible to walk-away.
I agree. Cool work's is awful .
I'm planning on moving into my van soon, been going out on travel trips and also lived in my car for 2 weeks...yes, also I create videos...little bit different than most youtubers but I love creating these kinda storybook type w/photos and music more than being on camera...although I have included SOME vlogging...I love adventure too! I was never like this until after 2020 and started watching channels like yours on youtube...so I just subbed your channel and I'm excited to watch your travels! Also, sorry you went through all that mess...sounds like a lot of incompetency at that place!
After COVID my rent was doubled. At 65 years old I had to live in my car 😮
I'm in Midtown Atlanta parked in between two buildings kind of by the railroad track industrial area. The businesses around here gotten used to me being here and so far I've been here for almost one year, not having to move no cops.
Plus, I have 100 foot extension cord when the brewery shuts down I can sneak a little power to charge my solar generator if I need a little extra power and throughout the summer, I snuck some air-conditioning power
You deserve so much better because you give so much of yourself.
Love you! No regrets! You did what you knew was right. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅
keep pushing forward. safe travels.
Your not alone at all took out my passenger seat and back seat to build a bed frame and bed foam ... Home Depot has portable power stations
im planning to live in my car. it makes us more grateful for the things we have. people are so spoiled nowadays. amazing video!
Im a housekeeping supervisor and lived and worked in Banff, Lake Louise and Tobermory ...you should try Blue Heron Cruises in Tobermory for a season. They are an amazing company with good staff accomodations ( private rooms ) and its stunning there. Also , many fly in lodges ( im in my 30s so I only take jobs with private rooms in staff accoms ) I make sure to ask before any contract and ive gotten lucky three different places with amazing views / roomies . The places that offer dorm style are cheap and greedy and should be avoided always because you know they dont value their staff if they are cool throwing them in shacks with no privacy 🎉
Nice! Thanks for the lead! I'm not sure about my eligibility to work in CAN being a US citizen though.
@@nomad_unknown Shit just realized you are in the US. They really need to make it easier for CANADA and US to get working visas because it's SOOO easy in Canada for people all over the EU/UK/Australia/India and Phillipines to come here and work seasonally at the resorts ...would be sweet if our sister country had the same benefits 😅
I LIKE THE WAY YOU HANDLE YOUR CAM, AND THE QUALITY OF THE CAM. TAKE CARE.
I just found your channel! So inspiring, and you take everyday by the rope and make the best you can out of your situation! So beautiful to just enjoy life!
My fiancee and I went from living in my beat up little pick up truck (that has gotten us through so much) and now we have a pull behind camper. We're in one place right now, but as money gets better and life becomes more durable, we wish to go down the road and see where it takes us.
There have been a lot of different emotions... fear, anxiety, anger, stress, hopelessness, depression, and lots and lots of tears...but also joy...cause things slowly just keep getting better every single day.
I'm subscribing, I look forward to following you on your journey!
Sounds like you’ve had quite the journey. Thanks for following along with mine!
Looking forward to watching your future adventures! You did the right thing...there is only so much we can tolerate before it becomes unacceptable. Good on you for setting boundaries and sticking to them!
Have you ever thought about a pop up camper off Facebook marketplace? Or maybe a hardshell camper. Hope things get better for you ❤ You deserve better ❤
I started doing van life a year ago. Me being single no family no kids it was pointless spending 60% of my net income on rent. By next fall I should have $15k saved up to by a rv I can tow with my suv. I don’t see me ever going back to an apartment. Only if I meet someone which is next to slim to none
Yes! You get it! Some people will view it as being down on your luck but it can absolutely be an opportunity to get ahead! I'm happy to hear its working for you!
After I retired from the Army I went back to school to become a Motorcycle tech, Almost directly after school I took a 5 year contract job as a traveling tech for Indian Motorcycles, While I travelled I lived in a 16 foot pull behind camper while keeping notes of everywhere I went for 3 months at a time, my likes of the area, dislikes of the area, Cost of Living, tax rates and all that while spending very little. After that contract ended in June of this year I came back to one of the dealerships I worked at during that 5 years and liked the area not just the dealership and paid cash for an 8 acre plot of raw land that had a 18x24 (432 sq feet) building on it. I lived in my camper while I gutted the building and built a completely off grid tiny house, once again with cash. I now live in the tiny house completely debt free and still have a good chunk of change left in the bank and this spring I will start building my homestead, I'm not going "full bore" on my homestead, I'll have some chickens, plant a decent size garden and plant some fruit trees/bushes so I'll still have to buy SOME things but that will give me a chance to socialize outside of work which is really important to your mental health when living off grid/homestead.
I'm really looking into reverting to this lifestyle.
Plan ahead👍. Have a fat emergency fund to cover repairs.
Hi from Donna in R.I. I will be in Port Townsend next month visiting family. It's awful what you've been through. I am not at the end of your video yet, but so far it is unbelievable. I feel so bad for you!
I am really enjoying this video. I go to the Peninsula every year. Sometimes twice. I have been to all of these places. I love it!
Welcome to Washington👋
Heck yeah! On to new & better adventures! ⭐💪⭐. I experienced the same thing working for AmeriCorps in Helena, Montana. Had to leave for nearly the very same reasons, but I will be back...I adored being in Big Sky Country. .😊.
It's great to find people who understand why we do what we do.
You've got to be you! Don't worry anything else, be you.
Looking forward to you next update and hoping the best for you.
Housing all over the globe is not just in reach for ordinary folk, it is beyond crazy, keep safe and well girl.
Hi, thank you for sharing your challenging story. Be careful lady. Expressing your love for adventure the Scenery is beautiful as well as your pics. Traveling is a lot of fun. Living in your car can be dangerous. Unfortunately many live in their car or van. Inflation right now is horrible. I admire your strength and courage. Hope one day you find a better cleaner room or you can get better safe housing permanently . God bless!
May the good Lord be with you. May His light shine on all you do. ✝🕊
Be careful out there. And you are beautiful and I hope you get back on your feet and I wish you luck... God bless...!!!
I just found you channel a d got to the intro. I noticed you were at pla et fitness. Perfect place to park lol. Where I live is extremely lenient on ovenight parking so I go back and forth from wapmart to planet fitness.
I live in washington too. I could swear I've seen you somewhere while I'm out gold prospecting. I hope I get to meet you somtimes on the road. Love the videos.
Planet Fitness gym routine is good to have written out - what goes in the Bag. I usually forget my towel...
Channels like this will become increasingly popular as people opt out of housing and rentals. I think it's something that the larger economy isn't paying attention to, and by the time they realise it, It will be too late to turn people back towards property.
As a nomad you have selected some beautiful places to stay.
Thanks! I try to pick spots that are beautiful and inspiring.
You are a Manager! You deserve the proper RESPECT and accommodations suitable for you and your position! Obviously these people do not know how to take care of their staff! IM VERY SORRY This happened to you!☹ GOD Bless You! They COMPLETELY FAILED!!!
When you’re HOMELESS, you shouldn’t be a BEGGER

I would like to think that we, as a human race, have moved beyond barbaric behaviors such as not cleaning for the next person, which is a health violation. So inexcusable. The lack of response is alarming, but a sign of the world's outlook: "yeah, it's going to happen." The non-caring, who cares, etc., attitude is the problem with the world. It is an easy out, no commitment, they don't have to get off the couch to do anything. We seem to be moving backward as a human race, these days. You are now in a good place, thank goodness! I look forward to your future adventures. 💞
Girl, they didn't value you. You were an annoyance to them just because you had reasonable expectations. I don't blame you. I think you have a great attitude about it all given the level of uncertainty you're dealing with.
I could be at any moment. I bought a van and converted it. It is my safety net.
I want to work for you!!! You understand how employees should be treated.... Bless you and your coming adventures...
Good luck and much happinesses...be safe. ❤
Sounds like the right move for you and your integrity. Enjoy early release! 🚗🏔️🏞️
Good thing you are out of there. That sounds horrible to deal with. Good job standing up for yourself and communicating the issues.
New sub. Looking forward to watching your journey ❤
Beautifully stunning scenery!
I love the van life it’s awesome both the good and the bad bits !!
First time watching, the scenery is beautiful!!
You were so close to Cape Flattery. You really need to check it out. It's incredible! Also, if you were describing Paradise Lodge at Mount Rainier, that place is haunted and that's probably why the fire alarm kept going off.
Ive been living in my van since october 1st 2024, ive been living on in off my car for almost a decade now, so much freedom!!!
I used to live out of a van and I noticed in your vid u pulled into a parking space.
For security you should back into your parking space in case u need to bug out
Wow! Subscribed!
If you ever need a place we have a room out in LA!!! =)
Beautiful scenery on your travels
The PNW is insanely gorgeous. I worked in a seasonal place for years. It can be intense.
