Aj and Ayana were both separately interested in a nomadic lifestyle when they fell in love. It didn’t take long for them to find a bus that they built into a home, complete with a rooftop deck, fixed bed, and hide-away composting toilet.
Aj is a writer and chef, and authored a cookbook about how to cook amazing meals in a tiny bus (or van) kitchen. Ayana works as a dreamwork practitioner and makes beautiful jewelry. They’re still working on finding that perfect balance of travel/adventure and calm/rest. What’s your favorite part of their bus?

Abi & Ethan are an adorable couple who were tired of spending so much money on rent. Abi had always dreamed of living tiny, but it took rising rent costs to convince Ethan it was a good idea. Once he agreed, they found a bus just two weeks later and started the process!
As students, they’ve kept the bus close to campus and enjoy not having a commute. Since the video was taken, they’ve gotten a job offer to move across the country — and they are having a baby any day now — so they plan to sell the bus once they settle in a new city.

Kate and Sam were tired of their corporate lives and sold everything to travel the world, living out of a backpack. A year and a half into their world-wide tour, borders started closing, and they suddenly had to move back to the States. They lived with Kate’s mom for about three months before thinking that bus life would allow them to see the country and keep traveling.
They jumped into a shuttle bus conversion and the results are great! They have a fixed bed, large storage couch, hidden toilet and the biggest refrigerator/freezer they could find. Enjoy their DIY shuttle bus conversion tour below!

Tom and Jodie aren’t quite retirement age, but with an empty nest they were ready for a new chapter and didn’t want to wait another 20 or so years of work to get there! So they sold their home, purged a lifetime of belongings, and built out a Bluebird bus.
Their 35-foot bus got a professionally-done 20-inch roof-raise, but they did the rest of the work themselves. Tom chose to put all the plumbing inside the bus, so they don’t have to worry about freezing temperatures. Let us know what you think in the comments!

This couple ran into a coffee shop in skoolie while traveling in Iceland, and that sparked something inside of them. Before they knew it, they converted their own short bus, so they could hit the road.
Their bold blue bus has a cozy interior, with dark wood and paint, that makes it feel like a comfortable den. They have a nifty collage table, a comfortable bed at the back of the bus, and a slide-out chest fridge. Read their story in their own words below.
