Reset A− A+ This is the story of a young lady who decided to turn a school bus into her own tiny home on wheels (with an engine). As you know, these sort of conversions are usually called skoolies.

Meet Heidi and her 80 sq. ft. little home on wheels named Valerie. This post is thanks to Jenna over at Tiny House Giant Journey. You can also follow Heidi and her skoolie adventures on her Instagram. She also runs a design company which you can check out here. Enjoy the tour and links below to learn more. Thanks!
