My name is Molly in this is my van poppy my
dog Maggie she's pretty good this is a 1993
EuroVan Westfalia and I got it in December
12 hours after I got it I decided to move
into it pretty good this is my main living
area when it's cold out this turns into my
bed and I don't sleep up top just because
it lets up so much heat we've got kitchen
area if you want to come on in with last night's
dinner still in the sink it's propane so it's
finicky in the winter time because it's a
small tank and freezes sometimes it works
and sometimes it doesn't how's the sink do
you have a pump I do yeah so I have a tank
in the back right now it's empty because I
haven't filled it out cuz there seems to be
a lack of hoses around so I'm relying on to
water jugs right now that I fill up intermediately
but it's pretty good it's pretty I have a
fridge here it's really just a cold box and
electric fridge connected to the mostly I
just keep it for storage for containers and
drinks and whatever and then I have Pantry
space dog treats Essentials that kind of stuff
and then I have cupboard space here he smells
good a yeah this folds up so I'm not going
to take the bed out right now because it actually
needs to get fixed it's come off its hinges
it can only come up this much which is a little
frustrating but there's some corks to vanlife
but it's just more storage space this comes
out that comes down and I've got all this
storage back here so this is storage for toiletries
girl stuff and this is just clothing my house
battery is under there my water tank is under
there and I sleep up there so for the past
couple of years I've suffered from depression
and anxiety 2 years ago ice just started getting
rid of stuff selling clothing selling shoes
I can't believe how much stuff I accumulate
so it started 2 years ago I started getting
rid of stuff and things in excess and then
a year ago I really purging with vengeance
sold more than half my stuff 6 months ago
and then cats selling half and started having
everything I still have some stuff to get
rid of I still have some stuff at my mom's
house like pans a musical instruments and
that just don't fit in the van that I'd like
to hold on to him but for the most part this
is it this is all I have I really believe
that unless you're a high-performance athlete
you don't need more than two pairs of shoes
I believe that one rain jacket you don't really
need all sorts of stuff that's what I'm trying
to live by by simplicity and not overstocking
not going grocery shopping for a month but
buying what you need and this vanlife has
helped me a ton I work a couple of part-time
jobs full-time and total I teach yoga for
about 10 years or so I've done that I teach
yoga at The Yoga Loft I also work at a high
school win the soccer and Dance Academy the
yoga and this lifestyle I think go hand-in-hand
I like practicing yoga outside made which
has been difficult this winter because I have
picked the worst record winter to do this
it's a lifestyle that fits together which
is really nice at each of the Yoga Loft I
track all my vanlife in yoga Adventures on
Instagram at Van Isle yoga so this is where
I sleep lately just because it's gotten warmer
out it's pretty good it's got some duct tape
in the back I think the list of repairs in
this van has is pretty extensive but I got
by its okay so this is my Skylight I sleep
with this open most of the time sometimes
I have to dry it out gets wet sometimes but
I park it so I can see the ocean when I wake
up and it's a pretty good life see lots of
sunrises lots of sunsets it's so broken right
now I don't think I can do it so I have a
really good bad car battery and I have a really
good house battery so this doesn't usually
go below 12.5 volts and that's the house battery
that charges all my lights in my fridge and
that's actually it and then this one comes
out of the car battery so you have to be careful
not to use it up too much I use it more when
I'm driving and this can charge my computer
this can charge my phone I do have a this
is my awesome junk drawer this is essential
with other vanlife Earth on my boyfriend also
lives and we have walkie talkies because it's
way cooler and here it is I also have an extra
battery in case I don't want to use my car
battery and it just charges at my phone and
then I have WiFi pretty much everywhere I
go because I have Shaw Go WiFi and I'm in
the beach in this exact spot and I have WiFi
so I can watch TV or I can do work on the
internet and I have access to everything so
maybe just pulled everything down that happens
all the time the dirt gets everywhere all
the time I have this brushed that I clean
with and then if I have to do a big clean
I go to the gas station I just vacuumed it
out or if my if my dog is Muddy or if I'm
muddy I just used this awesome gecko dog towel
that I think I've had since I was 4 years
old it gets it gets really dirty I try to
slip into my 
dog
