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 Andrew was done with military life, he wanted to do something different and found van life on YouTube and began a bus build. Susanna grew up in a small town in the Midwest and was traveling to see more of the country. The couple met during Andrew’s bus conversion process and hit it off — marrying and moving into the bus together just a few months later!
The bus has a fantastic standard-size shower and a Nature’s Head composting toilet. There’s a fixed bed in the back, and they made a home for their very special espresso machine (Andrew won Susanna’s heart with a maple latte, the story goes). Enjoy the tour below!

Weston has always been fascinated by tiny homes and nomadic living, so when he found this bus for sale not far from him (for a great deal), he decided to take the plunge! A carpenter and woodworker by trade, he included so many gorgeous wood details in the conversion.
His unfolding shower setup is really cool (and doesn’t require removing a shower curtain), and he has an epic rooftop deck that also holds all his tools. A giant U-shaped hang-out area converts to a giant bed! Super comfy.

Courtney and CJ met doing gymnastics, got married, and moved to Washington, D.C. They were happy in their life until 2020 changed the world. They started camping more and more and wanted to keep doing it all the time — some Google searching led them down the van life rabbit hole, and they were hooked!
They settled on a bus conversion and spent the next 6 months taking their short bus and transforming it into a home on wheels. For the past 9 months, they’ve been traveling the country and enjoying the time together and in nature. Check out the video tour below!

This little family of 3 was ready for a change in their life, and a skoolie has allowed them to enjoy a slower pace of existence. They didn’t get caught up with creating an “Instagram-perfect” space but instead chose a practical design without breaking the bank.
They went with a one-of-a-kind ceiling covered with fabric instead of wood or other material. It’s a really cool look!

Jagaloria went to Standing Rock and met so many people living alternatively, she said it just didn’t feel right to stay in her apartment and work her life away. Thankfully, she made connections while there that allowed her to find a short bus and make it home!
Amazingly, her conversion only took one month of work with a former partner! The turquoise bus has all she needs — a bed, dinette and kitchen space — and she sells smudges, dream catchers, salves, and other products to afford her life on the road. Enjoy our Q&A with her below!

Paul was working in corporate sales and found himself less and less satisfied with life. When he came across van life online, he was inspired! He bought the van and spent two years converting it while he was still working. He moved in right before March 2020 planning to teach yoga.
While solo travel during the lockdowns was definitely challenging, Paul didn’t give up! Eventually he even bought a short bus and converted it to better suit his needs. Check out the pictures below and enjoy the Q&A with Paul below.
