Jeremy had really never traveled before. He had a good-paying job and owned his own home, but he didn’t want to live his life feeling like he should have done something different and didn’t — so he found an awesome bus conversion on Ebay, bought it, and has been living on the road now for 3 years.
His dog, Norm, is famous on Instagram and Jeremy makes a living doing to his photography work and taking pictures of Norm, all while traveling in his bus. He has made conversions to the bus to make it more livable, including creating a separate bedroom and adding a bathroom in the back. Allison over at Tiny Home Tours did an awesome video interview and tour of the bus with Jeremy, which you can check out below.

Joel & Rachel worked hard for three years to make it possible for them to buy a bus conversion and travel on the road. They both work remotely for the same company, and hope to continue to be able to travel and keep earning an income!
The couple wisely rented out an old RV right after their apartment lease was up to make sure they could handle living tiny together. Even though the RV was awful, they realized they *could* live tiny and when they found this bus – previously converted on HGTV – they jumped on the opportunity.
They’ve been working hard to convert the bus into a space that works for them, and they’ve done a fantastic job with the upgrades. Check it all out in the video tour from Tiny Home Tours below.

When it comes to stealth vanlife, the Dodge Sprinter van is high on the list of “best vans” to choose. This one, for sale in Northeast Portland, has already been outfitted inside with some really neat modular finishes that go from benches, to table, to bed with some clever folding!
While you’ll need to add kitchen accessories if you want to travel in this full-time, it’s an awesome start to your van life expedition! You can get all the details via Craigslist and at the end of our post!

Lindsey jumped on the #vanlife bandwagon after spending some time as a nanny in Italy, and it’s been just over a year since she started living and traveling in her van.
This lifestyle means she can work different gigs here and there and then jump back on the road and travel with what she’s saved up. Her dad (who has been flipping homes for 40 years) helped her created her first van, which has a sunny yellow kitchen and the most gorgeous Frida-inspired quilt created by her mother.
While she ended up living with her boyfriend and his parents during quarantine, she spent the time outfitting a second van build to sell (check it out here!). We got to do a Q&A with her which you’ll definitely want to read at the end of the post.

This 2017 Sprinter Van looks magazine ready with live-edge counter tops and a Moroccan tile backsplash that’s absolutely glamorous. Chris and Lisa explain in a tiny space it’s easier to afford those high-end touches they’d never have been able to afford in a larger home!
Their excellent solar and internet setup allow them to work from the van while they travel, which means they aren’t planning on quitting van life anytime soon! They even run a small business from the van creating enamelware.
Allison over at Tiny Home Tours interviewed the couple and did a video tour which you’ll want to watch to get all the details about their life!

Sometimes we want “it all” right away — I know I don’t have tons of patience! But Marty’s story shows that sometimes patience pays off.
He chose to build a bare-bones tiny house — which didn’t even have running water for awhile — over paying the high rent in Durango, Colorado for an apartment that wasn’t dog-friendly. For the past four years he’s been improving upon the space and adding plumbing, etc. to make it more like home for himself and his girlfriend.
Check out the awesome video tour from Allison at Tiny Home Tours below!

Emma was looking for complete and total freedom, as well as a way to live more sustainably and create less waste. Vanlife seemed like the perfect lifestyle for her, so she bought a camper van and gutted it, spending a year making it into her home.
Originally from Connecticut, Emma has taken the van cross-country and is enjoying her nomadic lifestyle (although COVID-19 has, unsurprisingly, put a wrench in her travel plans and reduced the number of showers she gets!). Check out the awesome video tour from Allison over at Tiny Home Tours. You can follow Emma’s travels on Instagram here.

I know open floor plans are all the rage right now, but this couple’s Tumbleweed THOW features a really cozy layout that allows for separate spaces, which I actually really like.
You walk into the kitchen, and there are storage stairs up to the loft bedroom. But then a bathroom and hallway separate that half of the house from the cozy living room and storage loft. This allows for a big comfy couch, and sometimes it’s nice to just shut a door and not see a mess, or maybe get away from your significant other (ha!).
The couple live in Durango, Colorado and are both musicians following their dreams (follow them @bailey.b.sings). Allison over at Tiny Home Tours did a great video tour and interview with them, so be sure to watch the video.
