Deyana was teaching virtually before it became “a thing” in 2020, so nothing was holding her back from life on the road! She chose a school bus over a van for its affordability and was able to purchase her entire bus home for about $30,000.
It took 11 months for her to complete the renovation, which included a two-part kitchen, a 24×24 shower stall, a couch that converts to a bed, and a fixed bed with a dog nook underneath. She has a security system installed to help her feel safer while driving alone.
