Its been over 2 years since I started living on the road in my Lexus GX470. 70k miles, 9 states, and countless memories later... I'm ready to share my story. A story of my travels, how I'm able to work remotely, and why I chose this lifestyle.
Thanks for watching!

I would like to formally request more videos, please. This was an absolute masterpiece

@goingfarther_films Год назад

❤️ thanks Christian! I’ll try my best!

@JuliahWild Год назад

THIS IS A VISUAL AND AUDIBLE MASTERPIECE!!! I love the way you put this together. I also want to tell a story, not just share the highlights. I want to connect with others on social media, and I want to help people. And this is a great reminder that the story is more important than the destination/curated content.

@goingfarther_films Год назад

Thanks Juliah! I think social media is evolving in consumption - at least for myself. I’d rather follow creators that share their story instead of ones that have flash but no substance.

@dartagnan1954 Год назад

@purplehorsechick9706 Год назад

Agree! MASTERPIECE! 👍💯🥰

@byronstumman7420 Год назад

I realllllllllly enjoying your filming style. The pacing, the music choice, the dialogue and the silence. It’s all such a wonderful balance that takes the viewer into your life. Thanks for sharing and taking us on the adventure.

@Phillyphil123 Год назад

This was a great watch. I'm a GX owner myself and an adventure seeker as well. Have done many road trips across the U.S. This hits home. Keep the adventure rolling, those awe moments never get old! No one ever regrets travel. Do it while you're young. Cheers to the great shots and editing of this short film!

@pradeepgamage Год назад

Caught your channel by accident, amazing stuff! You are living the dream, and letting us be a part of that! Gotta say - you deserve millions of views, please keep making videos, you will definitely get the well-deserved recognition. Thanks for all the inspiration!

@jamessink3736 Год назад

Thank you for sharing this with us and putting a little extra joy out into the world. Safe travels and bon voyage.

@terryivanov5435 Год назад

You did an amazing job man, and i am writing this comment on the minute 4. Keep the storytelling going, you are pretty good at this. Its a lot harder then it seems.

@lsxfbodygen3 Год назад

Dude. This is a masterpiece! Easily one of the best short films on overlanding/remote work.

@raquelrockysanchez Год назад

Great seeing another one of your beautiful videos! A visual masterpiece. Also great to see that you’re living your best life out on the road 🙏🏼👍🏼🙌🏼Safe travels!

@gregorydaines Год назад

I really enjoyed this video. Fantastic story telling. The framing reminded me of the illustrations in The Boy The Mole The Fox and The Horse. Wide short, detailed shots, side on, above. Really nice way to keep engaging without changing subject every three seconds. Felt refreshing. But I also want to thank you for sharing your story. Even with the thing that gets in the way. Life.

@noke8678 Год назад

Wow, what an interesting life you have chosen to live : ) I am happy to have found this channel as it gives me a glimpse of what could have been, or perhaps, what might be one day. Thank you for sharing all of this with the rest of us, you are truly inspiring to say the least. May you always be safe and happy for all of your days 🙏

@kateandjosh Год назад

Wow!!! That was very well thought out. Well done. I enjoyed every second of it, I’m interested to see all the revisions to your GX that you’ve showed us in a recent short that you uploaded.

@up2top Год назад

Love it. Nicely done. I'll be doing the same as soon as the kids are out of the house. In the meantime, I do the weekend overlanding thing in my 4th gen 4Runner as often as possible. Love that GX you're driving. You've really set it up well.

@Annie-zf7xi Год назад

This was really good, so genuine, looking forward to more.😊

The accidental camera fall was actually a very DOPE effect! You should keep it and use it to close out/open the videos!

I'm new to your channel and glad Renee Roaming introduced me to you! Such an inspiration. This is the life I want to live with my little dog. I have some doubters in my life that think it's crazy but I need to shut out the negative vibes and follow my joy. I really enjoyed this video. Can't wait for more!

@goingfarther_films Год назад

I had some negativity when I first started, but learned to shut them out. One of the best decisions I made, and taught me a lot about my prior surroundings

@zackeryshackelford3864 Год назад

Thanks for this video. I recently decided to ditch renting a house to live on the beach full time with just my tacoma 4x4... this is an amazing lifestyle, and i hope to someday have my truck outfitted right like yours!

Hi Mike! I just found you today! Thank you so much for all of your time, photos, and videos! Thank you for giving me a tour of your HOME! Thank you for taking me along in your journey to beautiful places! I am grateful!🙏 After I watched this video, I subscribed and watched the rest of your videos! You are still pretty young but I can already see that there’s beautiful energy in you! I also love hiking and camping! My most recent trip was a 10 days in the Cedar Mesa area and East of Capital Reef off-grid in my 1998 Tacoma! If you ever traveling 🧭 to Prescott-Arizona, please let me know! In the meantime, may you always on the path of fulfilling your true aspiration!🙏

@Sal_car88 Год назад

I love your content, seeing your travels through photos and videos and learning your story. Your GX is amazing too. You're living the life! What I can't comprehend is how you have a social life. Working on the road and being away a lot, just how? Coming from someone not doing anything you're doing and always in the same location I have like one actual friend. 😅 I think you nailed the roadlife question. I too want to "run away" and find something new. What's your monthly expenses look like? I wonder if I could even afford to live in my car.

@goingfarther_films Год назад

Thanks! I’d say 95% of my friends on the road are either photographers I’ve met through instagram, or are road lifers themselves. Then those friends introduced me to others, and the network just grows organically now!

@flipzide Год назад

Tiff and I enjoyed how you put this together. Hope to see you when you’re back in California again.

@yifengchen Год назад

I'm also a software engineer working remotely, and i've been travelling around the US for 6months now with also a gx470. I found living full time in my gx and managing all the water, food, electricity, internet, etc might be a bit too challenging for me. Cuz my work is relatively busy and I feel like i dont have the extra energy to manage all these resources after a long workday. I ended up occationally live in the gx for maximum 5 or 6 days, but mostly i will look for short-term monthly stay at different locations. and just head out to the wild during weekends. I always wanted to push myself a bit and try living in the gx full time for maybe a couple weeks, hopefully I would do that in the next year!

@goingfarther_films Год назад

It definitely takes getting used to. Living out of a suitcase overseas was 10x harder than on the road, and I’ve been remote for a total of 5 years now. Definitely helped with this lifestyle

How do you compare land cruiser and gx470? Africa Safari is full of land cruisers.

@roberth7894 Год назад

I like your channel, your sensibility is similar to Chris @ venture4wd who is also living out of a Jeep and remote working. Some people just weren't made to be sitting in an apt or office and nature is a great place to hang. All the best to you!

@cowmath77 7 месяцев назад

The hardest part about this for me is knowing that you are growing older without a stable investment, like a house, to fall back on. When I'm 65, I may have crap retirement and no pension, but I'll have half a million in a paid off house that I can sell and live off of until I croak (assuming I make it to 65). I came for the GX470, but stayed for the window into a different life style, good stuff.

@goingfarther_films 7 месяцев назад

In terms of monetary investment, I'm behind a number of people my age. I have decent liquid funds, a small lump of stocks, and a couple money pits of vehicles. But I don't regret my choices. Traveling in this manner has felt like I've lived a few lives. Making gut choices, learning from multiple mistakes, having experiences worth a few lifetimes. I've invested educationally as well; 10 years in software comes pretty handy. Circling back, I do think about long term investment quite a bit. But I'm confident I'm making the right investments in myself at the moment.

@cowmath77 7 месяцев назад

@@goingfarther_films I would have probably agreed with you before I was 30. Now that I am 33, have been through the ringer health wise out of nowhere when my thyroid randomly died, and went through buying my first home and calculating expenses for the future (kids), I couldn't even imagine not having a fallback with equity building every month, especially with how crap wages are compared to goods these days, and its only going to get worse. Good luck to you sir.
