Michelle Ignored the Naysayers, Sold Her Stuff & Bought a Van


This post contains affiliate links.

The two things that were holding Michelle back from van life were her stuff and other people’s negative opinions. Once she got rid of those, she was able to jump into her van joyfully and after two years on the road her only regret is that she didn’t do it sooner!

She travels with her two dogs and made them a gate from paint sticks (love it)! She has a nice, deep sink, outdoor shower, indoor composting toilet, closet under her bench seat and a TV so she can play video games on rainy days. I love it and hope you will too!

    Idea for table. Find someone who could cut you out a board under your counter. The counter you say you are using for eating. Right around to the middle counter cut a board you want the size stain color or just seal and make a square out of the front of the counter and slide the board right in or you could cut a space right under your bed. Put it at the height you want and thickness and cut the board and slide. Hopefully I explained it clear enough. Thank you for the twin bed. It fits me perfect. I think your video is great and your choice are really good and helpful. Thank you safe travels
