How were the months in between you reached California and got a job. I am in one same phase except changing the state. How did you pau for expenses?

Depends on your need for creature comforts. I am ok with alternative living situations like crashing on couches, tents, and in the back of my car. I have kind of a no debt policy and my bills were almost zero without rent so my savings went a really long way. :) Get a gym for showers. No one ever said adventures were supposed to be comfortable! Life is too short to be trapped by materialism!

Go for it!
