I found my little niche in internet marketing but it took years to get there. Credit cards, and hiding from my land lord many times. I seen videos on youtube about people living in vans or cars (Van life?). If I could go back in time I would have done it. Around here you can even rent an office space for $200 a month, then you could live in a van, shower at a gym. Just wondering if anyone here is doing it or have tried to do it.
Hi bro,
I have met someone doing the van thing and would highly suggest you look at doing that.
Firstly, a van has so much more space and i know the dude i met, had enough space of a single matress.
I have met other people who rent "storage space" for super cheap and even sleep in there.. however, when you get caught, you will be out.
Showering can be difficult, when you have no money. However, if you do have the money, you can join local gyms, look also for local swimming pool areas, even if you don't like swimming, you can usually get in there for a smaller fee than the gym membership.. as you can go and pay for a couple hours of swimming.. you don't need to swim.. just use the shower, get cleaned up and they generally tend to have areas where you can plug in your laptop too, with free wifi.
Ensure to download an app from the app store called "Wifi map" - whereever you are, i bet there is some free wifi.. people in normal neighbor hoods, restaurants, tourists, share the wifi passwords on this app.. it's super good but also super loco that people would share there personal wifi and password, with people who could do anything really on that network!! anyways, just download it.

"free wifi" there may even be local developed apps but wifi map is the best I.M.O
So so far, we have got you a shower, free wifi...
now for charging points...
for your phone, make sure you have a portable power bank for your phone, you can even get solar ones now, which i have seen people use... as long as your in a place, where you get a lot of sun! You can even get the portable power banks for your laptop too.. so you always have some backup electricity.
Make sure to invest in a decent sleeping bag, small pillow, so that you can get some sort of sleep..
I have seen people here travelling with there vans, just travelling up from beach to beach and sitting and chilling there a few days, getting high, drinking, eating and working..
as for food, depending how desperate you are ?
bin can always provide, look for restaurants at night. go to the local airport/train station.. airports are abundant with food, as people are travelling and tend to chuck away sandwiches, chips, coca cola, water, etc.
you can look for local charities, that will let you eat a few days for free, without needing to give any details.
i think these are the major points for now.
Going down this road though, is a major learning eperience about yourself and your capabilities. It wont be easy but if you can successfully get through this, then you will be prepared for whatever life can chuck at you.
i don't have a van, so tend to sleep in public areas. However, go for it bro, i think you can do it!
if you have any other questions, just pm !
