Melissa’s van home is the best I’v ever seen. Not only is she super organized but this mini van is thought out to live in, in many different ways. Sheceven gas a hallway! Please put in the comments, what is your favorite part of her mini van home? Enjoy!
History: I was a full time ‘gypsy soul’ nomad working, playing and traveling.. living life large first in an Acura sedan then in a Toyota Highlander SUV I fondly call ‘Happy Haven’. I was on the road full time for over 3 years.. traveling extensively throughout the USA.. thus far 50,000 miles, 22 National Parks, countless monuments, capital buildings, libraries and small town USA. One of my favorite things to do in this nomad lifestyle is to drive long distances and explore scenic places as well as visit small towns.. I have worked in Washington, Utah and Montana while living in my car to save money to buy my tiny home. In addition I have an online business ‘Say It Display It®️.. links below to my Say It Display It ®️line of daily inspiration cards, my amazon store with 55+ products I own and use as a nomad, and Serene and Simple life merchandise .. mugs, totes, acrylic blocks with beautiful photos, t shirts and many more items! Curent: I have purchased a tiny home cabin paid for by working and saving $ as a “rent and utility free”. This is my landing zone to regroup, refuel, and relax then head back out as a gypsy soul traveling nomad. Still much to “GO SEE DO” my mantra for “living life large.”
Stepping Stone Retreat wish list.. fun and useful products for the future.

Thank you for your generosity, love and care! I appreciate you
Melissa's parents obviously love her to the moon and back. ♥️🌻♥️
She needs to start hiring out Mom & Dad! They have done a beautiful job on her van!
Giggle
I was thinking the same thing!!!
My goodness what a wonderful person. I bet her parents are the best! I can't even discuss the functionality of her van. I was to impressed with her positivity. I hope to run into her one day, plus many more with such positive vibes. Be safe, Be blessed, Enjoy your journey.... From Tennessee
I totally agree!
Yes indeed
Holy cow! That’s gotta be the most well-organized, tightly-packed interior, yet everything is easily accessible. And adorable too! Well done!
Wow…I love her set-up. Melissa seems like such a wonderful person with great parents.
Kool!!!! Have fun!! Spare tire n jack or flat fixer? I skipped ahead
She killed this build with her parents!! ❤ So well done. More storage space then I’ve ever seen. Being clean and organized truly matters especially in a small space.
Beautiful lady enjoy the journey.
This has got to be one of the best build outs I have ever seen. It is even more special because her wonderful and supportive parents helped her in the design. Thank you.
Glad you like it!
Melissa is a total joy! I think you've met your soul sister!😃 💞🙏
I think so too!
Amazing !
Wow! Melissa should teach seminars in Road Life Organization. Outstanding Set-up!!
Yes, what a beautiful woman. What a cozy place. So happy for Linda. May God bless her heart, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen 💖
Excellent set up. I have appreciation how at the end of your interview she noted how important it was to get out with what you have and refine later.
Glad it was helpful!
Melissa, your parents are true gems, what great build!!
What a sweet person Melissa is! She's grateful for her van and for her parents. They came in clutch for this build! What a great video!
This is an amazing lady and blessings to her parents for assisting her. I love this video of her. She is so organized and very neat. Nicest job done in a van and wish her many good adventures on her journey.
Thank you so much!
Mom’s hand stitch with love. My dad would have done stuff like that for me and my mom too. I had such great parents. I miss them all the time.
It’s great how Mom and Dad are always there for you with help because of love for their child! God Bless You!
Love it!
Her Daddy and Mommy, were making sure she is safe and comfortable!
I wish I had a mother and father like hers. 😊
I enjoyed seeing her van! That’s a lovely van snd she’s a lovely lady.
This was one of the best visits and tour of a full time camper I have ever seen. God bless your wonderful parents for how they have brought you up and praying for a continued successful, adventurous, road life. Phil 4:13.
@debra6785 Thank you very much. I especially appreciate that you were able to see that this wasn’t just a “tour” but a combined visit which involved interaction. Melissa also mentioned that she was glad I interjected otherwise she would not necessarily have known what direction to go. Thank you for being here and taking the time to write a very kind comment. I appreciate you!❤️
WOW !!!!
What a beautiful and joyful way to live out and share your faith! Your parents love is so apparent in how they put so much care into everything ❤
She sure is a beautiful person. And her parents are amazing! I want a van as nice and as organized. I Learned so much from Melissa.
All the talk about her mom, really makes me miss my mom more and more. My parents have always been so supportive in my life. Mom passed three years ago! My mom was my "ride or die"...😁
Yes, my mom is gone almost 15 years and I miss her almost everyday so I feel for you🥲
🥲 I can relate. My mom had been gone 27 years. Melissa is truly blessed to have both parents still here and most importantly so supportive of her journey. 👍🏽😊👍🏽
This van is an expression of love ❤❤. This family obviously love each other. So nice to see how appreciative the parents are of the daughter and vice versa.
Every day is a gift. That's why we call it the present.
Melissa you and your dad and mom created a wonderful home for the road. Brilliant storage and covers to make it homey. window covers and quilt are my favorite. Superb in every way. Loved it.
Yes awesome ❤ 👍 luv it
I love how organized she is!! Beautiful set-up!
This lady is impressive and the kind of friend you want to make when vacationing at the lake. May God Bless and keep her safe🤗
What an awesome vlog. What a great home she has. You & Melissa are two peas in a pod. Lovely, Smart, Grateful & Blessed. 😘
Excellent Melissa 😊
Wow, fabulous build. She's so blessed to have parents to help
I see how she makes her coffee. She stays in one position , sitting on the bed and everything is in reach. Now that is being efficient and I am sure it took a few trial runs to get to that point. You certainly don"t want to be moving around especially when there is a pot on the burner coz one bad move could ruin your day. When I am boiling water all eyes are on the pot till it is finished. No distractions for me especially when there is an open flame in the van. It is good to be organized and I certainly , with each trip, fine tune where things are placed till it becomes second nature. Keys go here, my glasses go here when I am going to bed and so forth.We all have our mojo. Congrats on your build, you parents did great!
I love your Mom and Dad's work. Thank you for sharing your home.
Great story, Melissa and Linda...thanks for sharing! May God's protection and peace be with you both on your journey's! 🙏😊❤🙏
Thank you! God’s blessings to you too!❤️🙏
Awesome! All the comforts, organization & aesthetics of home w/out spending $50-$100K like so so many vanlifers. Thank you for the sweet tour! God Bless you & keep you safe on your adventures.
Thank you!❤️
More like $110K and up for a good van.
Such a neat & functional setup. You can see the love & thought put into this camper. Love the work from mum & dad too!
Oh my gosh! I’m so impressed by the attention to detail! Such a beautiful setup. 😊
Her tiny home is wonderful! Her Parents are Brilliant! Every single thing about this build is Awesome! So much love and Happiness in this build ❤ Thank you for sharing
You are so kind and welcome
The lock on the power station is brilliant!!!
Thanks for sharing Linda. Great build so cute, love that her parents helped, & her mothers touch. 🥰
You are so welcome
@@SereneandSimpleLife Good morning Linda, ☕🤗 I missed RTR, hopefully next year. I keep one of your cards on door, see everyday. Thanks for continuing to make videos. God bless. ❤
This is the only minivan setup I can imagine myself living in. Love it!
she has such a sweet sweet spirit🦋 I really wish the rest of the world could be as sweet as her🌻I can imagine how her parents are GOD BLESS HER🌺
I love her van set up! Her Mom and Dad and Son are very supportive. 👍 ❤️
Wow you thought of everything! Great set up
God Bless mommas and daddys
Awesome set up Melissa. Linda is pure joy. Safe travels to you all🙏.
Awe thank you☺️
Lovely sister in Christ! Love her van home! Very everything I would want to copy! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
❤ you go girl i want so bad to this
One of the better setups I've seen. Well thought out, Functional and cute.
Best organized build I have seen. Great job.
What a lovely lady and so Blessed with amazing, supportive parents! I absolutely love everything they have done!🙏🏻❤️
This is the nicest minivan buildout I've seen. I missed though, did she say anything about a cooler or a minifridge? I'd probably need that. But this is absolutely ideal in every way, including aesthetically which I do find important as well as organization, etc. Edited to add, that's right, the front footwell! My husband and I used to have a 12 volt plug-in car cooler, very useful for camping and road trips. Awesome! I love it that she has a bugout bag too. I'm going to have to research the foldaway potty thing she mentioned, most interesting.
Praise God for Mom & Dad! 🙏💖 🙌
Texas girl. Fabulous. One of the best builds.
I just love the set up to cook on. Great use of space. Beautiful build. Very pretty quilt and curtains. Happy travels.
What a nice interview Linda with Melissa,she has a nice set up LOL Linda HAPPY HAVEN was packed with everything you needed to get to and you had lil space but everything was so organized neatly. My day and time is approaching when I can be like the rest of you NOMADS it's such a nice and peaceful experience anyone can imagine,be blessed Linda and take your time getting back to your cabin .
Thanks so much
What a joy to see Melissa's build out. A couple times I couldn't hear her, but the filming was so good that it wasn't an issue. Thank you!
So glad! Thank you!
Beautiful. Love all the organization and the female touches. Her parents did a great job...❤
I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. Well said Mellisa
What a beautiful lady! It's so inspiring what she and her lovely parents have been able to put together. May God bless her life richly and protect her on all her travels. 🙏🏻
Wow! Nice build. She's blessed to have magnif parents, and she has such a pleasant disposition. Well done!
I have watched hundreds of minivan tours and i have to say this is my favorite
A beautiful job on this minivan. Milisa, and your dad and your mom. A lot of work but we'll worth it. It is so pretty. Thanks Linda for the tour .
You’re welcome. Thank you for being here!🌷❤️

Bless his heart for that build and Mom’s for all the sewing. What wonderful memories! She’s a lucky girl and fortunate. Stay safe on the road Melissa!
The great parents have a great daughter. It's not difficult to live and love one another and not be in conflict. There's so much mutual respect there. What mom and dad gave contributed for their travelling daughter is immense. You can see the thought and love that fills that van. Melissa, your travelling home on wheels is a dream. When you sleep at night and travelling in the day, you must feel that love cuddling you! Happy travels and joyous days. God Bless you and yours! Lots love and respect. Thank you for sharing.

This Is A Beautiful Beautiful Van,I love it and I love the quote on her front camera
This is, by far one of the best vans I've seen.She kept it simple,with a powerful punch ✊👊 of MANY THINGS.Her van is like a museum, or a mansion with many twist& turns. She brought my cluttered brain down a notch or two. Three wise brains is better than one overworked brain(me)🥴.👌.Also nothing looks permanent. I don't usual copy,but why reck my brain any further. I think I'll do the same. I love her spirit too🤗. Thanks for sharing.
Greetings from Washington DC Serene and Simple Life. I really liked Melissa's van set-up. Her parents are gifted and talented. Great build. Enjoy!
That is so cool a picnic basket for laundry basket how clever is that
Melissa seems like a good one. Nice van.
What an awesome setup, she fits a lot of stuff in there! I hope you and Melissa will stay in touch. ❤️
I hope so too!
Best van tour I have
seen in a while
I love everything about this video, the van is amazing and so is her energy along with her parent's!!!
