This is Gillian’s DIY school bus conversion, which she calls “Jungle.” She left her career in set design to enjoy life as an entrepreneur on the road. Her bus features tons of her own textile work, an oven, an oversized couch that doubles as a guest bed, and lots of bold, jungle-themed accents. Check it out!

So she travels around the continental states in a bus she calls jungle. I live in a jungle and its quite different than hers.
Interesting concept. Didn’t catch where he bathroom is.
She stated in the youtube video comments, quote:
“The composting toilet pulls out from under my bed and I shower using a solar shower bag. mostly outside in a swimsuit and I have an indoor set up that packs away for city dwelling.”
