    FYI: If you fill the empty space in your fridge with bottles of water (especially the freezer), your fridge's compressor will kick on less frequently, use less power, and will hold the cold longer. In other words, a full fridge is a lot more energy efficient than an empty one. That alone might be enough to keep it from thawing out in the middle of the night, and even when you get your generator fixed, it will still be a good idea to keep your fridge full, even if it's not full of food.

    Nomi You are kicking butt! I really hope and pray that you treat yourself to a hotel stay (instead of renting a car) while your home is in the shop. Hot baths, no cooking, no cleaning , no moving around. Just some good ole R&R. Sending you love, peace, joy and prayers ✝🙏✝

    A piece of land with a Tiny Home on it would be absolutely incredible idea. Keep your van as well so you can still have other travels. I've noticed a lot of full time RVers have been doing that and it's been incredible for them to have that change, but also maintain the miminalist lifestyle.

    WOW! you are such an inspiration. I'm planning to downsize, but I have no interest in living in a van, please don't take NO OFFENSE. Having said that, there’s so much I can learn from your journey. As a person of color myself, I'm so happy to see someone who looks like me doing this. Representation matters. I plan to continue to watch your journey. God bless.

    Just a tip if you ever need to put something in front of your fridge for leaking. Use puppy pee pads. They are thin and absorb a ton of liquid lol. And you can just toss them out.

    I really admire 1. how comfortable you are being alone and 2. how much you appreciate every conversation you have with people along the way. God bless!

    Florida without air conditioning is a taste of hell

    My brother passed away on the 18th your videos help me through the grieving process just for a while I can forget he's gone

    Just make sure the storage facility does not have rodents or water leaks. Walk the whole property and check for bait boxes. I put my stuff in storage and most of my things got contaminated with rats. I had to throw away a lot of my things. Get the storage insurance and ask if they cover rodents and leaks.

    I stayed in my SUV for about six months during covid. I wish you had your channel then it would have calmed me down during the rough time. Keep doing your thing you are such a inspiration.❤

    You are a refreshing and welcoming change. So many channels I used to watch have become so negative, toxic and a place for people to take advantage of others through their crazy and inconsiderate actions. It is such a pleasure to follow you on your journey and thank you for sharing it with us. You are so humble and down-to-earth, A rarity these days, you genuinely care about others. Look so forward to your videos!., Safe travels and have a great day!

    After they remove the shower, will they let you see what it looks like “bare,” so you can reassure yourself there is no hidden water damage? Just curious. We had a leak in a molded tub/shower in an rv and we’re glad we looked because the floor was beginning to crumble.

    I’m starting that minimalistic approach. Took over 24 bags to Goodwill and Women shelter this weekend from clothes 3 years ago. Just trying to purge things I no longer wear and use thanks to you Noni. Hubby cleaned out garage and added more shelves to house our garden accessories.

    I've been watching you for a while. You remind me of my sister (both vets and close in age.) I love that this is a positive channel. Keep on being a light!

    Former MI girl here and Florida nomad, too. Be very careful when you put your stuff back into the van from the storage unit. We did the same and ended up with Florida palmetto bugs

    It’s so ironic that you enjoy being alone so much but have thousands of us right there in the van with you! Lol thanks for letting us in 😊
