New start in Florida

[Guest Nipping420]

Hi everyone! Looking for some input /advice (please be nice). 

I am in a bad situation up here on Massachusetts (relationship wise). I need a fresh start and have to get away from Massachusetts. There's nothing up here for me and I need to see more of the world. 

I don't have a job currently and am looking to do this trip on what I have left on my credit cards. I'm looking to do odd jobs, and really find ways I can just float around down there. I've never really been out of mass and never been to Florida but I feel like that's where I'm being called to. 

I will be staying at rest areas along the way and trying my best to go on as little money as possible. I have a vehicle I'll be driving down  (fear of flying). And also acts as shelter while down there. 

Any tips, or places that can help with expenses while omw down there? (food, showers, anything so I can experience this trip to the fullest. 

I'm not an addict, I don't smoke cigarettes, no criminal history, just need a fresh start. Please any advice, info, and help is appreciated. If you want message me directly and let's chat. 

Thanks!

Central Florida can be a great place to "recreat" yourself, or start off on a new/fresh footing. Our unemployment rate is the lowest in the state, the local economy is robust, and the cost of living is less that you'll find in South Florida. If you have work experience in the Hospitality trade, you should have not problem finding a job--the theme parks are just commencing their hire/train cycle for the busy summer season. If you're looking to further your education, the University of Central Florida has one of the largest enrolled student bodies in the nation and excellent degree choices. There are tons of activities to fill your free time--from the theme parks to bike trails, to museums, theater, concerts, and one of the oldest and largest Fringe Festivals in the country. Housing can be a bit tight--rental property construction hasn't kept pace with the influx of new residents, but if you get creative you should be able to find somewhere to settle in--besides the backseat of your car! I'm a retired career counselor--be glad to help you out with a polish of your resume, job interview tips, etc. Glad to answer any other, specific questions you might have!
