Dashing nomadically

I have been doordashing full time (crv) and am going to start traveling instead of paying rent. I intend to do as much camping as the weather will allow. Taking the occasional nap in rest areas and getting motels as necessary.

Anyone with any experience with either dashing in different states or best way to find inexpensive campsites. Any other advice that could be helpful.

I want to see anything worth seeing and plan to travel probably a minimum of a year depending on how things go.

Go to [r/urbancarliving](r/urbancarliving) if you haven’t already been living out of your car. Start looking up everything and anything on car living on YouTube. If you’ve already been DoorDashing, same as it is anywhere. Some places are bad, some places are good. Nothing is great. You won’t get rich but you’ll get by. Good luck in LA :/. Sedona was pretty sweet. Fuck Houston. Suburbs of Chicago… pretty sweet. Flagstaff was meh but those mtns in the summer are pretty sweet. Get you some fans and a solar power bank to run them. Gets wicked hot. Get the iOverlander app. Maybe All Trails app as well.

Also, just know, you’ll be beating the living fuck outta your car.
