  • Hello and thank you so much for watching my lil video I made about my life here in Yosemite :) in this video walk you through the living situation so if you get a job here you can know what to expect and pack accordingly. I’m going to be making a second video on the types of jobs here, how to get a job here and how I afford to live here and travel around California. For now I hope you enjoyed this video and you can follow my Instagram below! I post photos and daily videos on my life here so if you want to know more send me a message over there with any questions!

    We stayed in one of those tent cabins a few years ago. It was late June. Woke up the first night and it was soooo cold in the cabin. And they shut those heaters off after Memorial Day. Was curious if they shut them off in the employee cabins too. Otherwise yes they are cozy

      Hi Allie, unless you need an ADA or couple room, I don’t think it’s possible to request a larger space. The price is so similar and the rooms are so limited that the big spaces to go people that are managers or have been there for a really long time. Thanks!

    • @sightsofsara
      @sightsofsara  5 лет назад +1

      Good question! You are not required to use the housing here. You may apply for a couples wob or tent or dorm but with low seniority it’s unlikely you’ll be in a dorm. You can have a pet as long as it is registered as a service animal (which is not hard to do).
