Hi Peeps! I found you! YAY!

[DannyB1954]

 I am inquiring about what you might have found YOU needed or what your community has found it needed or wanted when and if anything. I like to contribute and thought it would be fun to spend the rest of my life giving back in ways that are most useful.

That is what having a job is about. Being of service to the community and being compensated in return. If you want to do something without compensation, then it is called volunteering. No shortage of things to do there. Everything from walking dogs at the local pound to building houses.

So I recently got the Flu, I'm coming out of it now as I write. The super cool thing about getting this flu is that the Universe sent me to Bob's Videos for great entertainment! That was about 4 days and 5k YouTube hours ago . I toured and listened and laughed and ah-haa'd  to those whom Bob introduced us too Thanks Bob.

So I have a question and ask you all to pipe in, there are no wrong answers. I'm 54 years amazing, a woman, solo. I'm currently excited to begin saving the money needed and in doing the Math I see myself possibly ready to move to Mars the boondocking life in a few years. (I'm worth the wait- fresh jokes and I'll laugh at your old ones!) .

:idea: My question: Are/Is there any particular service(s)/trade/talent you have thought or found to be wanted/needed out there in your rv community world that would be an awesome addition? I ask because I also have these years to train in something needed/wanted. If I am not being clear, an example might be 'welder' or 'mechanic' ...?

Thanks so much for your courage, your exposure on YouTube and your gentle awakenings to the masses and me,
Cathy

welcome cathy, You could be my personal chef and dishwater. I couldnt pay but it would be a nice service for you.

Met an interesting guy yesterday.   He's a Magician and has been at this craft since he was 13 years of age and
now approaching 60.   He has a minivan with a folding bed in the back.   He carries a small Mr Buddy, a small Playmate cooler and two suitcases.  One suit case has all the stuff he performs with.  The other is clothing.

Tells me he travels all over the country but only sleeps in the Van if marooned somehow. (break downs,  no places to stay in a Motel,  or at worst trapped in snow on the Highway) 

Says he makes a good living from his childhood hobby.  When I asked him about stage props he says he decided to go with a minimalist show where he could entertain kids with simple illusions and stage tricks or adult audiences as a "mentalist". 

He said he couldn't deal with using animals (rabbits or pigeons) as their care and maintenance was just too much for him.   Pigeons woke him up every morning at 5am to be fed, interrupting his sleep. 

But he says he can entertain a small group of kids or a theater audience of hundreds of adults from that one suit case.  Not a bad way of life for a guy who is still in the sticks n bricks.   I could see this being easily adapted to the nomadic way of life for those with a knack for performing.  

He belongs to this Association:
