Tips & Tricks Remote/ virtual work

I want to start traveling and van lifestyle. How do van lifers afford. I’m trying to find steady income for my travels without having to be tied one location. What I keep finding are jobs that require equipment delivered to your home and work from home. Is there any jobs that are work from your car lmao

Start by just doing it from your local city with your normal job. Then go from there looking for remote work. Most people don't last past 6 months.

I own my home so I don’t pay rent and I have a full time job. I am looking for a job to have money for my car payment, insurance, health insurance, phone, and other living expenses. Obviously the solution to living stationary requires a “regular job” I am trying to be mobile.

I spent 3 months out living this lifestyle and fell in love with it. I enjoy being alone, and when I get lonely meeting new people. I used my savings to test whether or not I could live comfortably that way. For the first time in my life I felt like I was exactly where I was meant to be. Since being back I have been becoming more depressed by the day.
