>>2548907This. Also did this in silicone valley for 2 years before moving to Hawaii. Saved a bunch of money from my 90k tech job and now I'm sitting pretty, working on a catamaran, fucking cute surfer girls.
Couple rules:
Don't park next to druggy rv's
Don't cook inside the van or hangout outside the van before you sleep. Always arrive, sleep, and leave.
Most tech companies have showers and employee fridges. Eat prepped food until you get a job at a place, then use their shit
Don't get the cooler or fridge. Not worth.
Get rid of cotton socks and underwear. Buy all merino. Doesn't smell and can be washed with just water in a pinch. Smelly stuff ruins the small interior space that is your home. Also another reason not to cook. Cooking grease in your bed room is a bad idea.
When it's hot, find higher altitudes with a breeze. Open the street side window.
Use Google maps to find 2-4 spots ideally in neighborhoods and save them. Rotate your sleeping there so ppl don't trip about it.
Have fun. I've witnessed the funniest and weirdest shit living in a van. Weirdest thing was some couple fucked up against my van one night. Though they were breaking in. Looked out and just see two ppl making out hardcore. Laughed, went back to sleep and they left, none the wiser.
Get that money.
Pic is my work place now.
