No More Lurking

[gdbutler]

I've been lurking for far too long, and it just occured to me that it's about time that I introduce myself. Thanks to all the useful information on this site, I have decided to convert a cargo van and start a mobile lifestyle early next year. I don't have a van yet, but am watching local ads and waiting for a good deal.

I actually work for Amazon now and I plan on leaving that job and joining the camperforce in the future. I've also worked for the NPS in the past, so I may take summer seasonal jobs in national parks. In between, I'll be boondocking and going on adventures.

I wish I had considered this lifestyle in the past since it would have made my travels much easier, but I'm only 30 so I still have lots of time left for that. Anyway, thanks for all the great info here, and I'll be sure to become active here in the forums from now on.

Welcome to the forums! Have you read any of this young woman's blog? http://www.interstellarorchard.com/ She's doing exactly what you're planning - working at Amazon for the Christmas season and at parks for the summer. Good luck with your plans!
