Skoolies

Rickey didn’t want to end up in a nursing home after a lifetime of adventure, teaching English, and truck-driving, so he used his handy skills to transform a 1968 bus into his home—and he tows it with a 1929 Ford. He designed the exterior of the rig to look like the red Angry Bird, complete [...]
