Where do you work.

I am blessed to work here. The area surrounding my work offers lots of overlanding opportunities. Just curious where others here might work and if your job offers the same opportunities or do you overland to break free from work? Mine is both.

I work from home. Not much in the way of overlanding (unless you count plowing fields). But, I do get to look out over my back yard from the office.

I work from my home property now. I will never again be "employed". I worked for myself my entire life except for a few stints of work when I was 17- 20 and then the past 2 years working in retail. Retail broke me. I cannot be ordered around like a bitch. I will snap back and have at all my bosses. Not being about to travel when I want is another reason, I cannot work for someone else as an employee. I can work for your as a contract agent, meaning you hire me to do your photography, website, or marketing etc. Or you hire me to restore your old motorcycle, YEP. I am still free to move when I want. But getting thrown on a 5 ton truck to lug 300 sheets of fire rated drywall won't be happening ever again.

I miss everything about Seattle, except the people and the politics. Hydroelectric engineering is pretty amazing there. Some terrific engineering and building designs can be found everywhere.

I stare at a wall, from home, in the middle of the high plains. It aint pretty. it aint fun. I'm not sure who thought this place was a great place to develop in the 1800's, but they were wrong!

I work at a place called Celebration Park in Canyon County Idaho. I’m and Interpretive Specialist. We are Idaho‘s first archaeological park. We are located on the Snake River and we have several campsites that are very suitable to Overlanders. We have petroglyphs from the indigenous people of the area, and provide live and online programs for 4th graders. We also have the Guffey Bridge, Idaho’s largest artifact. Come out and see us. Although at the moment no campfires please.

Live in rural NW Maine, have worked remote for about 10 years. There's lots of places to get out and explore in this area, hopefully one day work will slow down enough so that I can :)

I'm a Superintendent, Contracts Management, and work at a mine site in Northern British Columbia on a FIFO (2on/2off).
Currently working from home since April given Covid. As a non-essential staff -- I am not digging for gold out in the pit -- means I can work from home. This is to flatten the curve and to protect our Northern Aboriginal communities.

The area offers lots of overlanding opportunities (and beyond -- into Yukon, Northwest Territories, and subsequently into Alaska, etc.). However, the mine is a restricted area... so only authorized vehicles are allowed in.

Pics below were taken at the Mine back in March, before Covid.

I've been a sushi chef for about 15 years.

The pros are that I can make cool looking plates of sushi, making people happy is very rewarding.
Plus, I get to drink on the job.

The cons is the hours, typically I start at 1030 am and get home around 1030 pm, 4 days a week, with an hour or two break in between.

I overland because I just like to.

I like making these type of dishes for my customers, plus I get to use my cool sashimi knives.
