Seasonal Workamping for a Living Natalie Flores-Henley

"It is very informative and will be a valuable addition to anyone's library of workamping information." - Edith Cagle (Full-time RVer and Workamper)


Are you dreaming of hitting the open road in an RV and traveling full-time but haven't quite figured out how you are going to fund your travels? It is absolutely possible! There are currently thousands of RVers exploring the country while making a living by working seasonal jobs. This group of people calls themselves workampers, and Natalie and Levi are among them. For almost 6 years, they have lived and worked in 11 states and funded those travels by working 20 jobs. In this book, they not only share the facts of how to look for and land a workamping job, but they talk about their personal experiences and inside knowledge of workamping. They detail how they went from living in a house with regular jobs to landing their first working job and how they have continued to travel and land job after job.




Never in their wildest imaginations did they think that they would be behind the production lines of an Amazon warehouse, arranging holiday lights on the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in Gatlinburg, operating a piling machine in the wee hours of the morning while sugar beets shoot out into a 25-foot pile, displaying hundreds of pumpkins and Christmas trees for purchase, or serving one sample of wine after another to hundreds of bikers during a Sturgis Rally in South Dakota. They leave every new workamping experience with a broader skill set and a newfound appreciation for workers in these contrasting fields.




What's in the Book:




This book has four sections. The first section is their story, how they became full-time RVers and eventual seasonal workampers. The second section details jobs they have worked each season. The third part focuses on finding, applying for, and landing your first and next workamping jobs. Finally, section four answers questions and concerns regarding arriving at the job site, how workamping affects taxes, budgeting aspects, and lessons they have learned as seasonal workampers. At the end is a glossary of links so you can easily start searching for your first workamping job.
