    my tiny home on wheels, Eva!
    I went into this as a solo female with no experience and it took me a long time to finish but I am so proud and happy with the end result.
    🐢
    it’s always been my passion to create a little light in a world of darkness & so i'm eternally grateful for you being here 🌸✨🍭💖🌌

    This....this is the ultimate goal when I think about life on the road. Building a space of calm tranquility to heal, rest as well as explore and grow all in the same place. Eva is my absolute favorite build I have come across, and I have seen many over the last few years of researching, wishing and dreaming, for when I am finally able to have my own. You and your story are inspirational and a flicker of hope in a time when the fire seems to have burned out. So thank you, and I'm sending you all the good energy and luck for your travels ahead, wherever they take you.

      Thank you my friend!! 💖🥹🫶 I truly appreciate your kindness. Life out of a little van isn’t always glamorous but it can be when things are in alignment! I’m thankful for the 70 sq ft of peace she has provided. And sometimes the headaches she’s given too lol 👩‍🔧
      I’m realizing we can also find these moments of beauty even in the small daily activities. I think having lived life on the road makes me truly appreciate the simplicity of just a little home somewhere close to nature!

      I have certain areas where the floor has shifted yes but I’m thinking that it’s mainly due to the constant pressure of stepping mainly in my hallway. It’s never shifted underneath the bed where it’s just storage. It also could be due to the vehicle constantly jumping around and moving while driving down the road, I recommend adding the flooring in after the cabinets so in case you need to adjust anything or if you decide to change the style then it’s easier to

      I’m sorry that you lost your grandma, but it is not by the reason you stated. Spiders laying eggs in the ends of bananas is a long debunked urban myth. Spiders do not lay eggs there, nor would harm come to a person if they were to eat these eggs if they did. Truth is, you probably unknowingly eat spider/insect eggs, nothing dangerous about it.
