Emily and Josh were both working jobs that kept them apart, and then driving to see each other on the weekends. They’d save up PTO to travel for a few weeks during the “off-season” and wish they could do it full-time. When 2020 changed their career trajectories, they were finally able to consider living nomadically full-time!
It took about two years for them to complete their skoolie conversion, and they spent the second year living in it while finishing the interior. You can read more about what led them to go tiny and how they feel about nomadic life below!

Raela and Tyler were working normal jobs when they got married and took a road trip for a honeymoon. They didn’t want to go back! Soon they got a big bus and turned it into their first home on wheels, which they traveled in for about a year.
After that year, they realized they needed something shorter if they wanted to get to some of the more remote places they had on their bucket list. So they sold the old bus and did this $40K conversion in just 3 months! Now they make money on the road as a musician and virtual assistant while enjoying all the country has to offer.
- Raela and Tyler’s journey began with a honeymoon road trip, inspiring their nomadic lifestyle.
- They converted a $40K bus in just three months, creating a cozy, wooden-toned tiny home.
- Now, they earn a living on the road, embracing minimalism and the freedom of life on wheels.

Ina and John wanted to travel more, but do it less expensively. Van life (or in their case, shuttle bus life) gave them a chance to see the world on a budget! Below you’ll see their third conversion, which they ended up selling because they’ve gotten so good at building buses.
It features a fixed bed in the back, loads of counter space on either side of the apartment-size fridge, and a large built-in couch with a swivel table. After discovering how little they used a fixed bathroom in their former build, they chose not to include one in this conversion.

When Racey and Zack met, they discovered that each of them was interested in an alternative lifestyle. After Racey finished her big hike, the couple decided on a bus build! And after converting their own rig, they accidentally fell into converting/fixing up vans and buses for others as a business.
Because Zack used to be a chef, he wanted a proper kitchen in their short bus. They also chose a fixed bed and a convertible couch/dinette space. They’re traveling with their dog and helping folks along the way! What do you think?

Andrew and Ashley found skoolies on YouTube and spent the next three years researching and building their incredible school bus tiny home, complete with a 24-inch roof raise and 2800 watts of solar! There’s a dedicated office space, a luxury bathroom, and a great convertible couch.
The couple knew early on that they wanted a spot to hang hammocks outdoors, so they welded on a special deck that also holds their mini split air conditioner. They installed a number of reclaimed RV windows in the rig to let them see all the beautiful places they park! Enjoy the tour.

Sheena and Thom wanted to travel and see the places they kept seeing on TV and Instagram. A shuttle bus was the most affordable option for them and including the cost of the conversion, they were able to create a home on wheels for just $15K.
They have just about everything you could want in a conversion — it even has a shower, although they prefer to simply use the ones at Planet Fitness. A fixed bed takes up the back of the bus, while a cool convertible table/dinette space has multiple “modes” for when guests are over. What do you like best?

Tracy and Chris work during the summers and live in their 3000 square foot home in Canada, but when the weather gets cold they hit the road in their Greyhound conversion and look for warmer weather. They were originally planning on buying a sailboat and sailing off the coast of Florida, but decided that would take them a bit too far from home/family.
Their conversion is bright, minimalist, and brilliantly designed. They didn’t give up the luxury of a deep sink, spacious bathroom, or a King-sized bed, but instead made room for them! Enjoy the tour.

Josh and Emily both had remote jobs in the engineering field, so there was nothing holding them back from pursing a nomadic life! They chose a skoolie conversion to allow them to truly customize their rig — and with their engineering experience — they built one of the most incredible buses we’ve seen so far!
A roof raise allowed for ample headspace and enabled them to lift the floors in the back of the bus for more in-floor storage. But it’s their food storage and organization that will make your jaw drop! Everything fits in beautiful glass jars. They even fit two office spaces in the rig — at opposite ends — so they wouldn’t bother each other while working from home. Enjoy the tour below!

Jordan & Sam lived full-time on the road in this amazing renovated Skoolie for a few years before buying an old home that they’re now renovating! They still live part-time in their rig, chasing adventure when they hear it calling.
Their skoolie is all wine-themed, complete with a cork wall, “wine cellar” drawer, and wine box storage. All the bibliophiles will love the pop-out bookshelf, and if you’re working on the road, take inspiration from their cool office space. Let me know what you think.
