Deducting travel expense for a part time job

[karlo]

Can I deduct mileage and lodging and meals for a part time job?

I have a full time job in one state. I am a ski instructor on weekends and holidays, teaching in another state, 250 miles away. I rent an apartment or hotel room each weekend. I go out to restaurants for meals, including lunch at the ski area. Can I deduct miles, lodging, and meals?

short answer No

 Longer...wouldn't try it. You are asking to deduct personal expenses under out of town business expenses(no longer deductible >2018 anyway) when you are at the place      where you are doing the job.
