Leaving It All Behind - Breaking Free: Transitioning to Van Life and Leaving Normalcy Behind
I met Jennifer in a day park and had the opportunity to talk with her and do a tour of her van. Join us as she talks about beginning van life and leaving behind her apartment and normal life for the freedom of van life.

This rig is VERY well organized! And, Jennifer actually keeps food in her van! Love this so much! In order to clean silk and other fake plants / flowers, get a small bag of rice and empty it inside a big enough plastic bag (trash bag) with the plant. Twist closed and shake for a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on how dirty it is. (Just don't eat the rice afterward!)

For anyone wanting plants while doing van/ car life or travel snake plants, zz plants, Aglaonema plant (Not the Chinese evergreens called Dieffenbachia sometimes they get labeled the same. ), philodendrons , Monstera Peru , Alocasia plants , Caladiums and begonia "Cane" plants do very well. They tolerate heat and dry conditions. After 3 years these are the plants that have done very well for me. When I started van life I had to give up my 450 houseplants. I did keep 34 but after trail and error lol and plant shopping to find the ones for my environment these ones are the stars. Buy a mini rechargeable humidifier and a rechargeable fan to keep the airflow moving in the heat depending on where you are. And your light source. I have 5 % tinted windows and my curtains are the white layerrd thermal ones so light does come through but just ambient. 🤗

I have heard this comment by lots of ladies in their rvs: solar panels not charging on a day like this (cloudy). If you would spend the money for "good", not super expensive, but good solar panels for your roof, you would not have to pay good money for those portable panels. We always have lots, lots of energy. Cloudy days do give energy. Our panels even register when it is raining!!!! I wish people would stop buying these "not so great" portable panels! Sorry about the rant, but I think someone needs to say it! 🤔
