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

[@DoubleGChargo]

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.

Despite the horrible treatment, you're still in good spirits, so keep up the good vibe! It will pay off at some point.

[@AMPMhandle]

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. 😊🎉

[@PeaceJourney...]

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 🙏🏾

[@watchout694]

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.

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 live in my car as well. I work remotely, but I can not afford rent. I should document my journey. Way more Americans citizens are doing this. It should be known. There isn't any decent affordable housing. We have money for wars and to help immigrants.

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!!!

[@timothyhays1817]

Looking forward to you next update and hoping the best for you.

[@donnapelletier1133]

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!

[@LilyGazou]

Welcome to Washington👋

[@VentureOut___]

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

[@jaymepeddycoart1808]

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!

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

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!

[@Regina5327]

Nomadic introvert lives in her SUV. Check out her channel. You will like it. She lives outside Las Vegas and travels. She had a house, sold it bought an RV and then a SUV. She stays out in the desert when she is back there in NV.

[@nomad_unknown]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@roxanes43]

Sounds like the right move for you and your integrity. Enjoy early release! 🚗🏔️🏞️

[@NaturesExpressions]

Good luck and much happinesses...be safe. ❤

[@Nwladylaura369]

Mickey🐭operation! They should have paid you a bonus for all the housing BS. Hope your next situation is 5 stars!

[@sunriseskies3883]

Good for you for expressing yourself to people whose responsibilities aren’t meeting proper expectations!! You are a smart individual and one day you will meet your equal!! 🌲🤍💚🏔️

[@Sunflower64155]

The alarm that cried wolf! I would have called the fire inspector that governs that area anonymously.

[@americaswildestprospector]

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.

[@Vontress]

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. .😊.

[@nomad_unknown]

It's great to find people who understand why we do what we do.

[@Debrasvantasticjourney]

I could be at any moment. I bought a van and converted it. It is my safety net.

[@nyaG50]

Maybe seasonal jobs are not for you, its not easy but thats how it is in almost every park, Mount Rainier ist not that bad compared with other housings that I've been, and I've been in many parks.

[@paige-p3h]

New company owns it and I hear it is not ran as well as it was. Sorry you had to deal with this.

[@lindaknox6623]

Her employee said it all, not having a permanent address presents issues surrounding personal sanitary conditions.

[@nomad_unknown]

Providing proper housing is part of my compensation package. Think of it like a military soldier where housing is part of the lifestyle. They need me to be in a specific location, so they furnish the housing. I hold them to a standard because I expect that our Public Lands are cared for properly.

[@MountainGirlwIPA]

New sub. Looking forward to watching your journey ❤

[@waynekaczmarek946]

I'm really starting to wonder about something, actually everything. I'm getting a different kind of vibe right now, feels good to

[@IceTeaChillz]

Respect you for your courage. I am too a nomad and live in my own van

[@louellahubbell6514]

Sweetheart there has to be some kind of housing that you can get into. It is not safe living in your car. Don't give up and there are more jobs out there that will hire you.

[@kayla_sulak]

I've lived out of my car (happily) for 9 years. But, I'm in a mountain town with relatively dry weather + lots of access to public land so I don't have to sleep in parking lots or anything. It works well for me 🤷‍♀️ ...You can see from the theme of my own videos, this lifestyle has afforded me lots of freedom and the ability to still have fun, without sinking into debt just to survive or working 3 jobs, lol

[@nomad_unknown]

Sounds like you’ve got a good thing going!

[@jeanlynam8115]

Beautifully stunning scenery!

[@Wanderingwalter]

I love the van life it’s awesome both the good and the bad bits !!

[@wally2786]

The PNW is insanely gorgeous. I worked in a seasonal place for years. It can be intense.

[@JanetUrban-tr1cz]

Beautiful scenery on your travels

[@MargieBillions]

First time watching, the scenery is beautiful!!

[@davidgarrison8053]

People think it's easy to take a cold shower until you have to take one.

[@ritaars4978]

I am watching you from Russia.. Good luck, brave lady ❤

[@duanechapman5810]

Good luck to you.. Please be safe!

[@user-vz3fh6oj7d]

What she's doing is extremely unsafe. People like these are the ones who become statistics. I mean, a camper van might be safer than a car. And then, I bet she goes and does all that hiking without packing any 🔥

[@nomad_unknown]

Please sight your sources for these statistics.

[@jeffreycalhoun507]

As a nomad you have selected some beautiful places to stay.

[@nomad_unknown]

Thanks! I try to pick spots that are beautiful and inspiring.
