Olivia had been a nurse for about 5 years and was completely burnt out. She saw a listing on Facebook Marketplace for a converted short bus for $10K. She had enough money in the bank from selling her home to immediately purchase the rig — and quit her job — in just 48 hours.

Believe it or not, she had never even heard about #buslife until she saw the listing for her bus! While the bus was livable as-purchased, she chose to finish the build to her taste, putting in another $10K to the build. Enjoy the tour below and let us know what you love most about it.

    First, thank you for your invaluable work as a nurse. Yet another hero!
    I would have loved to see more pictures rather than a 22 minute video. I don’t bother with anything over 6-8 minutes. 😣

    Great job for so little money! I’m impressed that Olivia did so much work herself with no experience.
    I love what she has done — very livable and fun. Sweet space for her canines as well!! Love it!!
