Ryan lost his Disney engineering job back in 2020, but he used that as a launching pad for a whole new lifestyle!

School Bus Conversions
They Went Debt-free With a Bus Conversion
Nowell and Lauren didn’t choose bus life because they had to — they wanted the chance to see the country before they hit retirement age (and might not have the health to make that feasible).
