If you've been following me for a while, you may have noticed that I don't give up very easily. Who knows if it comes from pride, stubbornness or just plain tenacity but it's certainly come in handy since becoming a nomad. 😂 Even though my blog is more than a year behind, I haven't given up on it! It's hard to find the time and energy to sit down and tell my story in long form. But when I do, I quite enjoy it and fancy myself a pretty good story teller. This is a picture from my latest blog entry which is up on agirlandhercommander.com (or click the link in my bio) If you have time to kill, you may wanna start at the beginning of my blog entries-Mander's inception! It's been a wild ride! 🤘 #vanlifecommunity #homeonwheels #fulltimerv #livethelifeyouwant #solofemaletraveler #femalemechanic #diymechanic #freedomvessel #lifeontheroad #modernnomad #notafraidtogetdirty #rvlifestyle #realvanlife

If you don't turn the arm of a chair into a proper scratching post are you, like, even a cat mom? #moonchi #scratchandrelax #travelingwithcats #ifyoucantbeatthemjointhem #catmomgoals #catmodel #sittingpretty

FINALLY. I have my bedroom back. Swipe to see how I rebuilt my bed platform using free Ikea slats that I couldn't be bothered to cut and a pack of $35 decking tiles. (Thanks @kelly.e.lusk for the idea!) The very last photo is my old mattress. I had already removed one moldy cover and it was still this moldy inside.🙈🤢😷 Vent your bed nomads! Vent👏your👏bed👏

Sometimes it's gotta get worse before it can get better. After a week of cleaning, painting, hella loads of laundry, a couple days off for lung recover and living in general disarray, I'm finally nearing the finish line of this mold drama! The last 2 things I was waiting for to rebuild are supposed to arrive today. I may not have everything 100% finished by tonight but there's a decent chance I'll be sleeping in a new, big, mold free bed. 🤞 #whatadisaster #invisibleenemy #realvanlife #realrvlife #livingtiny #oyvey #solofemaletraveler #notinstaworthy #therealdeal

Life's a real b**ch sometimes. In case you missed my stories the last few days....you know what a good distraction from Corona virus is? Finding out your mattress is hella moldy underneath and needing to dismantle your bed platform and clean everything like your health depends on it! ⁣ ⁣ Turns out you need to have venting of some sort to keep your mattress from collecting moisture and starting a mold factory. 🤦‍♀️ When I shared all this on my story it was crazy how many "this happened to me too!" DMs I got! So let this be a PSA and get some venting under your mattress before it's garbage like mine. 😭⁣ ⁣ In all seriousness, this was really affecting my health. For the last few months I haven't been able to figure out why I felt so run down all the time. Why my skin was so bad all the sudden. Why my asthma, which is normally nonexistent, was bothering me almost everyday. Why I felt so apathetic. Why I was having sinus issues. I thought maybe I was fighting a cold/getting old/allergic to Washington/hormonal. Now I know I was just sleeping on top of a pile of mold! 😂 I already feel better since cleaning everything and I'm anxious to get my ass back to the desert where RVs belong.⁣ ⁣ Today I am painting, rebuilding and picking up a cheap mattress and hopefully by tonight, I will have a safe bedroom to rest in. 🤞

A pretty kitty to brighten up your feed. 😘 #travelingwithcats #cheerupcharlie #mainecoonsofig #vanlifediaries #solofemaletraveler #womenontheroad #catmodel
