Van Life in his Vintage Turquoise 1969 VW Bus

on May 18, 2023

Guillermo has lived all over the world. Born in Argentina, he spent a few years in Florida before doing most of his growing up in Spain. As an adult, he moved to the US where he’s lived for 26 years in a number of states including Pennsylvania, Texas, and California. Bus life had always been on his bucket list, but he jumped into it quite rapidly after meeting the woman who renovated this VW bus.

She was looking for more space, and before he knew it, Guillermo was buying it from her! It has awesome murals that she put in, a beautiful coat of turquoise paint, and lovely striped upholstery. Its small size means that he does most of his living outdoors — which is how he likes it!

      Thanks so much, Maria! 😊 Great question — many camper vans like this one do include exterior hookups for electric and water. It really depends on how the owner set it up, but most vintage conversions can easily be upgraded with those connections if they don’t already have them.
