    Nice build .. hope it suits all your needs, looks like it does . Nice and bright . Little sailing trick ..if you dont want to do the dishes right away place them in the sink covered in water and a bit of detergent, the motion of the driving van will wash them for you. Enjoy. Stay safe, stay kind .

    You can definitely see how much thought and research was put into designing this to fit her needs perfectly. She also has the ability to change anything she wants on her own. Very impressive. I love the layout and the storage options she’s created. Inside is also just beautiful throughout. I like what she said about women- to refuse to live in fear and to get out there and live your life. ❤️😊

    Hi Nicole, good Onya I just love it when I see you ladies like yourself stepping out and doing something that is a little bit different to the norm. I think van life is just so wonderful if you can get used to living in a small space just fantastic and if you don’t like your neighbours , or where you are, you just move , I think more people just get trapped in a normal way of life. I live in a three bedroom house with a granny flat by myself and two dogs. What a waste of space anyway keep up the good work. Really appreciated your video Cliff from Australia

    @Weezieweeks Місяць тому

    Amazing build! I love it so much! In the oven, it looks like a pampered chef (or the like) stone to help maintain and stabilize the temperature. Put it on the lower rack or even on the floor of the oven. That way the pan still has the regular oven air circulation. I always kept a thermometer in there, too. These days, those digital ones might work even better as not opening the oven to monitor the temperature.

She is missing her father who died about six months ago. She took a photography class and does excellent nature videos, similar to Jane Goodall!!!

    ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤loved your courage 😂you did a fabulous job what state do you mostly live in. Do you think it’s safe for a single woman to live alone on the road. I miss so much living in my small home, it had a huge backyard that myself and my dogs lived outdoors from morning till evening t🎉until sunset. I’m an artist and get inspired outdoors. But after my whole family died including my dog I was shell😅😅 s ocked. It scared me to start over again alone, but this is what I had been dreaming of and I’m 68 now and before I died I want to live like I loved. Any advice or help

    I'd say its scarier to not do van life in our croney capitalist economy with the work till you drop and own nothing reality we have now....Work less with more free time and way less regulation.
    A fixed bed is silly when it takes up 50% of the space that is used only to be asleep although I would be looking at the bed on the ceiling with a motor to lower it system personally, bed is ready with the push of a button and you don't even need to make it because its all hidden in the ceiling :)
