In order to sustain oneself on the road, the nomad may at times find him or herself finding it necessary to find a temporary means of income for supporting themselves as they travel.
Because of their non-materialistic and efficient lifestyle, most nomads won’t normally find themselves in situations where a temporary income is needed, but if they do, there are ways and means of finding such a resource
I strongly suggest watching this YouTube Video by Bob Well. Bob is considered The Expert on van dwelling and living as a Nomad. He has put together a series of YouTube Videos on jobs for nomads.
Bob’s website is: http://cheaprvliving.com. Bob has many videos on YouTube where he interviews all types of different personalities living as nomads as well. Bob started a gathering of like-minded folks in the desert of southwest Arizona several years ago, calling it the RTR (Rubber Tramp Rendezvous). As I recall, a dozen or so people showed up. The most recent RTR had something like 4 to 5 thousand in attendance. It’s gotten so large, Bob now has a group of volunteers to assist him with the many activities he has planned for attendees. The RTR lasts the better part of 2 weeks and is a great time for meeting new like-minded people, sharing stories, attending various seminars and lectures relating to van life, RV life, installing solar, building out vans, etc. It’s really an excellent time to learn new things. There is even a huge tent erected in the little town of Quartzsite, Arizona where dozens of vendors show up to display and sell their wares. Most importantly though, along the theme of this post are companies recruiting people to work part time. Amazon is one of the companies there to recruit for seasonal help. Want a job in an amusement park? It’s available. Want a job in the beet harvesting business? It’s available. Want a job working in a National or State Park as a host or janitor or groundskeeper? It’s available. Want a job delivering RV’s of all types all across the country? It’s available.
The list of available jobs is virtually endless.
So, again, if you really want a job, check out Bob’s video series on jobs available at: https://cheaprvliving.com
Once you watch this video, it should direct you to the others in the series.

Some other thoughts:
With the advent of the Internet, it opens up a whole other way of making a good living either part time or full time. For instance, I’ve met nurses that work from motor homes that will take assignments wherever they happen to be. Bloggers, writers, consultants, and the list goes on.
Until next time…
