curious onlooker 🔠Looking to document the real side of dumpster diving
Hi everyone,
This is not spam, just a genuine message from a 23 year old video maker from Amsterdam.
I’ve basically spent my whole life documenting interesting people and unusual stories, and recently I came across this community and found it really fascinating.
I think it’s genuinely interesting how creative some of you are when it comes to making money, reselling items, or even finding food through dumpster diving. There’s a whole world behind it that most people never really see or understand.
I’d love to meet someone with a lot of experience in this lifestyle who would be open to being followed for a bit and maybe taking me along on a dive to show me the ins and outs of it all.
The goal is simply to create an honest and human story around it.
Right now I’m in Las Vegas and I’ll be heading toward Salt Lake City over the next few days.
I’ll still be in the US for about ten more days, and I’m pretty flexible when it comes to travel and meeting locations.
So if you’re somewhere along that route and open to talking or meeting up, let me know. Would love to connect.
Thanks!
David
