Well after many weeks in MI, I swung through Wisconsin for my friend’s wedding and then hustled back to CA to register #persephonevan

Being back in Cali was amazing and magical and full of unexpected fun. I honestly didn’t want to leave and have been thinking about returning for the winter.

Huge thanks to Meek of a Guy and His Van and Dawn of the Dawn of Vanlife for hanging and teaching me the ways of urban van life!!! Also all my friends who hung out! So much sweet fun!

Well after 9 days of work in Lansing, 1 day in SF and 1 day in Bend, I am done converting #persephonevan!

I used Gnomadhome for most of it. I found their guide super easy to understand. I used a borrowed drill, and then a jig saw, saw horses and a ladder from East Lansing tool library. Tool libraries rock!!! I still have to add up all my costs, but I believe I was around $3500.

Huge thanks to my friend A in Lansing who supported me and let me stay at her place! Also, Meek from a Guy and his van for helping with the kitchen! And my mom for helping with the final touches!

First, I installed the solar (I hate heights so thanks to A and her friend Ashley for watching me and encouraging me on the roof!!)
