Vanlife Alternatives to Public Lands: House Sitting & Remote Work for Nomads

🚐 Vanlife isn’t always sunsets and freedom, sometimes the hardest part is just finding a safe place to sleep.With public lands closing, overcrowded campsites, and rising city restrictions, overnight parking for vanlifers and car dwellers is becoming harder to find.

In this episode, we sit down with Heaven, a full-time traveler who has found creative solutions to staying on the road. From house sitting and pet sitting in Hawaii and Costa Rica, to storing her van and taking temporary breaks from nomadic life, she shares how these opportunities provide rent-free housing, showers, rest, and space to work all while traveling.

We also dive into the reality of making money on the road. Beyond remote jobs and freelance work, many nomads turn to alternative side hustles to sustain their journey. This conversation is about empowerment, resilience, and redefining what it means to live free when traditional systems are closing doors.

✨ If you’re navigating the challenges of Vanlife in 2025 public land closures, skyrocketing rents, or struggling to find safe parking this episode is for you.
