Tiff & Eric were living their own separate nomadic lives when they met at Skooliepalooza two years ago. There was a spark and they decided to build out the unfinished 33′ bus that Tiff owned and make it a home on wheels for them as a couple.
They also have an adorable child, Ryder, who has a safe car seat spot, an adorable Montessori-inspired playroom and loves living in a small space near mom and dad. Remarkably, the bus was built primarily from reclaimed materials, making it less expensive and more sustainable. Enjoy the tour below!

AJ & John owned a farm in Indiana and lived there with their four children for 10 years before deciding it was time to pull up their roots and travel. They had considered bus life when AJ was pregnant with their 3rd child, but ultimately chose to wait until their kids were older before becoming nomads.
John is a carpenter and managed to convert their bus in just 3.5 months, making sure to complete the whole thing before they hit the road since they had been renovating their farmhouse for a decade! The family has plans to stay on the road for about 6 months and then convert another bus to make money and then hit the road again. Enjoy the tour!

This awesome family of five finished their bus conversion in February 2023, and have spent the cold winter months on the road. They can return to their home base in Central NY during the summer, where they work and save up money again for another long-term trip.
They did the entire bus build without accruing any debt, just spending the extra that they had on what they could afford. It took them about 2 years, doing all the work themselves, to create their bus home. Enjoy the photo tour and be sure to read the Q&A we did with them below!
