Ever dreamt of transforming a bus into your own tiny home on wheels? We did, and this is our 2-year bus conversion journey documented raw and real! Get ready for a roller coaster ride of demolition, DIY projects, unexpected hiccups, and ultimately, HUGE satisfaction.

From the moment we laid eyes on our dusty bus, to the triumphant day we moved in, witness the blood, sweat, and (a few happy) tears that went into making this dream a reality.

Follow along as we:

Bring home our carefully selected bus.
Strip it down to the bones: Witness the messy (but necessary) demolition process.
Design and build: Get a sneak peek into our creative decisions and DIY solutions.
Overcome challenges: Learn from our mistakes and celebrate our victories.
Move in and hit the road: Experience the first steps of our nomadic adventure!
This video is more than just a bus conversion. It's about family, adventure, and chasing your dreams, no matter how crazy they seem.
