Hello, van lifers and other traveling people. You don't have to be in a van or you could be in a bus or not even travel. That's fine.

Welcome to episode eight of campers and vans getting coffee. This episode I have on Kristiana of Mesami Soaps.

Messami Soaps is her company that she started a couple years ago while she was still on active duty in the Navy.

And Cristiana creates all natural soaps on the road from in her van.

So it's pretty cool.

She talks about how she's sort of been able to set up a little factory in her van and create these micro batches of soaps.

And her business is doing really great. So we talk about all

that and how that's possible, um, for you, maybe, and it might inspire you, which would be cool.

Uh, and we also talk about why she likes hammocks and how to be safe as a solo female traveler and

why she doesn't think, you know, you should let any of that stuff hold you

back. So it's pretty cool. It's very inspiring. Christina is awesome. And I also want to apologize because I

kind of get off to like a slow start in this interview, just listening to it again. I was a bit

tired from the night before. Had a had a big night before. So I apologize for that. You're going to have

to deal with me

asking questions like over and over again. I asked Kristiana a couple things that she already

said. So apologize for that. It takes me probably 10 or 15 minutes to really get into the groove

and start having a coherent conversation. So apologize, Christina for that, but you can enjoy my

slobberiness. But that's it. We'll just get into the interview. So here is Christina of

Mesomys Soaps. Hello, Christina, thanks for being on the show.

Hi, thank you for having me.

Super excited to have you on.

So why don't we just start with sort of like if you could just give us your background,
