We  Bought  a  Bus!

My partner Phil and I have purchased a 2000, 7.3L, V-8, full-size, International School Bus. Why, you ask? To convert it into a tiny home! A place we can call our own while continuing to roam as we love to do so much.

Over a series of months we worked day and night to make our dream a reality. Check out the progress below and our attempt to explain all the do's and don't's of a school bus conversion.

Years later and we are still proud of our work and love our time in our tiny home.

2 years after the make over

See the changes that come with living in a small space, ie. the clutter. This is the bus, 2 years after we hit the road and were back at my parents' place taking a work break from travel.
