Adriao asked this question in another post on Chavez. I thought his was a very good point. Some might ask why does it apply? I think it does this way if we can have some ideas how she lived on the road might tell us who some of her contacts were, where to look for the coins and other things.
I like to add a little background first questions really. Why did she steal a car in season 2? We know she wasn't on the run but was tracking the people who killed her husband and friend thus had to get money for travel etc. I had thought that her family had the coins but in a later episode it was said that the coin dealer had brought them from some dealer in Europe (can't remember where) so were they stolen that day but if so how did they get to Europe? She told Nick that Marie knew she was alive did they have contact? Now we have a background.
So how did she get the money for travel etc. she told Nick she been more places than she cared to remember tracking them down. Lets look at how she might have gotten the money. We don't know what skills she had job wise.
One way was hiring out as Grimm (maybe), hiring out to the resistance (we know she did this), possibly as a bounty hunter for the council (as a Grimm or using her knowledge of wesen to make the scene look wesen). Alexander told Nick they did use Grimm's for jobs depending on the job and the Grimm (don't think she used her real name). Another way was she was tracking just say questionable characters (she took the money out of the mauvais dentes pocket) so likely she did this more that once. Without knowing what skills, she might have had a skill that would allow free lance work and take a job short term. Marie may have wired money from time to time also, but don't think this could have been much. Marie at the start likely did give the life insurance money (if they had it) from her and her husband death.
Using this we can see that she might have had contracts in resistance (yes) council (maybe) criminals (yes) work (maybe). Anything else?
Did Elizabeth find her and Diana Elizabeth has money so if you think this happen than we could add someone like her. I think Elizabeth did find her and I think they thought the Portland thing was likely a trap not for her but for Nick.
Why did she steal the car? That has always been a question for me did she have a contract in that area and wanted a watch on Nick?
Her end couldn't have been that easy she was to dangerous and careful to be taken that off guard without a plan.
What does the forum think?
