  • I’m a digital nomad, car living in my Subaru Forester & today I'm escaping normal life in Panama City Beach, Florida. I encounter too many crowds, have to cook dinner in a parking lot and get rained out of my campsite.

    Highly commercialized places full of tourists are a good thing to avoid as much as possible for many reasons. There are some nice, somewhat remote forested areas in the panhandle that would have been a totally different experience. It sucks losing things all the time. I used to always leave something behind and still do from time to time.

    Yes amazing how quickly things can go missing in such a small space. All those crowds and noise would make it not as fun to visit those beaches but very pretty. What a sweet free camp spot. The weather, rain and wind can make it hard or impossible to cook outside at times.

    I was driving next to you, Erik, on the Hathaway bridge going from Panama City Beach into town (Panama City). I was driving a u haul and saw your channel name on your back window. Thought I'd drop by and say hey! 👋

    Hi Erik, great to see a video from you today!! Glad you didn't spend your first night in a parking lot, but touristy stuff would definitely not be my thing. Nice you got to revisit an area you knew from back in the day.
    Safe travels and I'm interested in knowing what you do if your caught up in the rain for a couple days while living in the car. Look forward to your next video!!

      hey!
      yeah- being stuck in rain for a few days is going to be a challenge in the car. i have a tent thing that can go over the back of the car if it’s light rain but i’ll probably have to relocate if it’s heavy rain. not real sure yet. guess it remains to be determined and how bad the weather gets on me.
      thanks for your continued support!!

      Bummed you misplaced your stuff, probably right next to the refrigerator power cord LOL! I know the feeling of forgetting something or not planning for something and it can be a pain. You brushed it off like a pro! Safe travels and hope the rain takes it easy on you bro!

    Heyyyy Erik! I almost moved to PCB last year, the down season had me fooled, but once the end of March came it was terrible.

      Don't move here. Ive been here 20 years. Not affordable and not a good place to live.

    I guess I am wondering about the purpose of this adventure for example: Are you showing people how you could camp, travel, & work for a year on small budget? Are you going to show us some cool "off the beaten path" places to visit? Are you going to talk to local people about the best places to visit and get a non-tourist perspective? You are relateable which makes your videos nice to watch, but I'm wondering what you want to get out of this and why you chose to share? Good luck and wishes to you on your travels.

    • @EscapingNormalLife

      fair questions
      yes, i travel full time in my car. traveling all over the country. in my little adventures i share how to travel full time (if you’re interested in it), how i find places to sleep, how i manage working on the road, how i deal with weather and so on. exploring new areas and environments. my channel is a bit of a cross-breed of sharing information and just pure entertainment. i’m just starting out on my journey- but in the past i’ve traveled the country for a year in a teardrop trailer. and most people had questions how i lived and worked that way. so this is how i share.

    Hard to fully listen with music. I think the music is manipulative. Keep it real.
