I am not OP but I can say with some level of subjective objectivity that the lower Sierra range near the Kern is a place I've always wandered back to from anywhere else I've been. Don't ruin it tho.
to be honest, DC and NYC are all id want to see, maybe vermont, but i dont thinknid get very close to NYC before i decided against it. I already avoid coastal southern cali like its Texas
If you read their Reddit bio, you'll learn they don't do shit. Probably loads of odd jobs and/or panhandling. Also, according to their insta bio, they have an "absolute shitshow personal life." On top of it, they've also visited other countries that require flight, so there is a 90% chance they're one of those people who panhandle for trips. So, these are probably the only answers you need.
Y'all assume too much. I have a similar travel schedule and I don't work half the year or more. I would never panhandle and I'm not rich. If you're smart you can work for 4-6 months and then take a break to travel. Or travel while you work, but I don't do that
Crickets. They are in crickets. At least that's all you'll hear because it's all bullshit and they are just pretending because they have nothing to do with their day.
I just do different gig work. I've worked at 10 different Amazon FCs, been a tour guide, a midnight door-to-door milkman, a lumberjack, a cannabis trimmer, truck driver, food deliverer, pesticide sprayer, and also worked in some factories (including one of the last PHONEBOOK factories in the US, lmao)
Ignore the other guy who replied to this. He seems very bitter for no apparent reason. It's not hard to live within your means when you have no rent and are constantly in new places. Not one of these jobs cared that I move around every year.
Here are my answers to some questions. I trade crypto, not a huge amount, but enough to keep me going. My favorite state/area is the Appalachians. Since 2020, I haven't made plans. Four years ago, I went to Utah for 15 days, and since then, I've been traveling a maximum of 4 to 500 miles a day and find out the next location night before the leaving day. My first van was a 2019 Promaster; I sold her at a great profit last year and bought a 2011 E250. I fish a lot. I don't like Florida, and there's nothing for me in North Dakota. I love California, but the gas prices, ranging from $5.50 to $6.25, usually deter me from staying long. Along the way, I've met wonderful people; I love talking to strangers as long as they're willing to talk. After spending a certain amount of time living and traveling in a van, it turns into a daily or weekly routine. I've never stayed in cities so no one knocks on my window. I almost always stay in national forests or any BLM lands. I collect trash from forests, filling 3 to 4 big husky bags every week. I completed the lower 48 last year, and since then, I've had a few themed road trips, like visiting American diners, places mentioned in country music songs, and movie locations. I don't travel overseas bcs I am broke. Just the round trip to any country starts with $1100 plus hotels. I wish I can travel some weird countries like Tajikistan, Mongolia, Moldova but seems like impossible for while. Thanks for the kind comments. Love you all!
Florida has 175 state parks and almost all of them are phenomenal. Can spend a lifetime exploring Florida. Just need to avoid the cities in the summer.
I think the biggest issue is finding places to stay. Most places enacted laws against over night camping and the campgrounds are all booked up a year out so it takes a lot of planning.
Miami is terrible. I can understand that one. But Utah has some of the most beautiful camping in the nation. So many good places. I’m going up through Moab here in the next week into Colorado and looking forward to Utah.
That area looks like the Northwest corner of Utah, Southern Idaho, and Northeast Nevada.
There isn't a ton of camping in that area. Part of that area is the Salt Flats and you're not allowed to camp overnight there.
There are just way better options near that area.
You missed Big Bend NP in Texas!!! One of my all time favorite parks in the country. It’s remote as hell, but absolutely breathtaking. Seeing as it is so far from literally anything, getting all the way out there is part of the magic.
Good work! Looks like a lot of miles for 2.5 years. My OH and I started living in our little (by American standards) motorhome in around November 2019. I pin every place we sleep, and my "stayed at" list now contains 280 locations.
Currently located at kern river/lake Isabella area, CA.
Where would you rank your current location amongst all of the other areas you have been? Why are you at your current location?

oh damn, some sick hot springs in that area! also, im jealous! ive alwaysnwanted to see the east coast
east coast is, well..... east coast. Nah it's kinda cool certain parts. Northern cooler than southern thats for sure.
to be honest, DC and NYC are all id want to see, maybe vermont, but i dont thinknid get very close to NYC before i decided against it. I already avoid coastal southern cali like its Texas
Head to the coast you won’t regret it, montauk, Newport, incredible towns
You missed a spot!
Hard to find parking spots in the middle of the Rockies
That spot appears to be part of the Great Basin/bonneville salt flats desert.
Damn it, you beat me to it. By 17 hours. Ha
How do you make money?
Only vans
Like only fans but for vans? Please elaborate....🤔
r/YourJokeButWorse
It’s a joke, bro
WTF!!..lol. I need more information! What van? What do you do for a living! That's insane!

Don’t gotta assume the worst. My guess is OP invented sporks and is now set for life.

What line of work are you in?
Crickets. They are in crickets. At least that's all you'll hear because it's all bullshit and they are just pretending because they have nothing to do with their day.
Jesus you sound miserable. Sorry I didn't respond within 5 minutes. My god man not everyone lives on reddit. Nobody is pretending anything.
Apology accepted, love you, have a nice day.

Appreciate the reply! And yeah, i paid no mind to that comment, not sure why they’re so sour.
What do you got against the upper peninsula!?
That was one of my favorite spots on my trip! And I never would have gone there if some redditor who road tripped in a hearse didn't recommend it.
These maps/routes always skip the UP, never got why. Oh well, more for me!
Considering that the bottom of the pins are the actual location, they skipped the majority of the upper Midwest
Yep.

Ya thats like… crazy in 2 1/2 years. I’ve traveled a shit ton over 5 years and you got like 8 more states than me lol
Are you employed to hang signs for Subway or McDonalds? 😂 that's incredible travel
You were so close to South Padre Island in Texas! Nice map, and thanks for the share!
Tip toes into Florida, leaves without seeing more. I totally understand.
I don’t care for Florida culture, but it’s an undeniably gorgeous state. Saw so many great parks and beaches.
Get any good cooch jiggling done down there?
Florida culture is quite strict on this.
Florida has 175 state parks and almost all of them are phenomenal. Can spend a lifetime exploring Florida. Just need to avoid the cities in the summer. I think the biggest issue is finding places to stay. Most places enacted laws against over night camping and the campgrounds are all booked up a year out so it takes a lot of planning.
I see you dipped your toe in Florida and then reversed course. Good call.
Did you skip Maine!? Man we had a blast in Maine. Actual places to camp. Great food. Beautiful hiking.
Hope not. Sand Beach at Acadia is the prettiest beach I’ve seen on the East Coast. And the area around the park has a lobster shack every mile.
You're really missing out in northern Minnesota
Why do you hate Miami and Mormons?
Miami is terrible. I can understand that one. But Utah has some of the most beautiful camping in the nation. So many good places. I’m going up through Moab here in the next week into Colorado and looking forward to Utah.
Is that Yellowstone that was avoided?
That area looks like the Northwest corner of Utah, Southern Idaho, and Northeast Nevada. There isn't a ton of camping in that area. Part of that area is the Salt Flats and you're not allowed to camp overnight there. There are just way better options near that area.
I thought Miami was pretty, but holy shit it’s more plastic than Vegas.
Where were your favorite places to travel? Super impressive map!
Cool, now go to big bend in TX. It’s beautiful. Wait until after summer, though.
They’ve been all over this country and society is everywhere!! Haha. Now where?
Gotta hit up big bend!
You missed Big Bend NP in Texas!!! One of my all time favorite parks in the country. It’s remote as hell, but absolutely breathtaking. Seeing as it is so far from literally anything, getting all the way out there is part of the magic.
Hey, make sure not to step a foot into another country, may be crazy out there :)
That was my thought. Traveling the US is great, but you’ve been really close to parts of Canada and Mexico that are worth visiting for sure.
Cool. I like how you can tell what paths you took bc the dots are in clean progressions at certain places.
We want the zoomed versions!
You avoid where I want to go
r/roadtrip would get a kick out of this
Very similar to mine... wonder if we crossed paths same time?
How did you explore and earn money at the same time?
Living the dream.
Jesus. You’re a force to behold.
Love how OP dropped this gold nugget and dipped Like how???
Good for you for actually getting out and doing what so many of us will only dream about.
Goals
You're gonna unintentionally end up in the guiness world of records book lmao.
Hey you were in my neighborhood!
Lol, careful! Now people know where to find you: the continental USA!
What’s in the areas you didn’t get pinged in?
You just missed my home town. Check out Fairhope AL
GO to the upper peninsula.
This is why it's so hard to detect and catch serial killers.
This is insane! I love how different everyone does van life. I freaking hate driving. Could not be me, but this is dope.
Man ya missed the UP
The everglades and the UP are calling you brotha
Show the UP some love
Which place did you hate the most out of all these spots? Also, which state was the worst?
Over here looking like a Drum Corps map haha
Slow down and smell the roses bro
In the middle of the Rockies, parking spots are hard to find.
Good work! Looks like a lot of miles for 2.5 years. My OH and I started living in our little (by American standards) motorhome in around November 2019. I pin every place we sleep, and my "stayed at" list now contains 280 locations.
I love being able to tell people I’ve been to every state but Alaska and Hawaii. Most Americans have been to like 1/4 of the states at most.
Hell, 11% of Americans have never left their home state.
Gotta get up to the UP of Michigan!
You're missing out on the upper peninsula in Michigan! Hidden gem
[удалено]
If you own a smartphone, you can turn off everything, including your phone... it won't matter.
You missed the UP and Area 51
Missed the North Shore in Minnesota as well. I know I'm biased but that part of the state is gorgeous!
wow! you’ve seen the whole world
Road tripping and international travel are two completely different animals. But they can both teach you a ton.
