DIY Boho School Bus for Adorable Family of 5

Connect with them on social media:
/ barefoot.bus
This 40 foot skoolie was converted into the coziest home on wheels by the Hancocks, a fun-loving family of five who can't get enough adventure. Brad & Ashley decided they wanted to try an alternative lifestyle that would allow them to explore the world while showing their kids different ways of life, in hopes of raising well-rounded humans. Since living on the road, they have found community, beautiful landmarks, & a deeper connection as a family. It has proven to them time & time again that the pros of living in a bus, far outweigh the cons.
The Barefoot Bus features a large kitchen with a farm sink, spacious living room, a stacked bunk room for the kiddos, & a bathroom. In addition to the functional features of this build, there is an abundant amount of personal touches that make the bus feel true to who the Hancocks are.

I watched this bus come to life. Ashley is an incredible human, and I love seeing her family grow and live a freeing lifestyle. I’ve loved this bus since day one, and of course am completely jealous. ❤

[@kristimcgowandarkoscellard3126]

I absolutely love this build!!! They have created a beautiful bus home to along with their beautiful family!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and family with all of us out here in KZbin land !! 🙏 love it 🥰 Cheers

Beautiful bus and family!❤❤❤

[@MrsElinMaria]

Beautiful! I love what you said about focusing less on how you look & Moore on character! Such a good word of wisdom! God bless you & good luck with your photography & other business!

Not on board with the privacy thing

[@jasonstanley12905]

Very cool to see you pass me on the road out here. Just east of Rockford Illinois on i-90. Safe travels

[@dessiecamara9420]

Awesome all around

[@lawrencecoffeyjr2703]

God bless this bus...Amen...

[@h.h.legacydiesel6724]

Love the way you are living, it sounds really freeing & love the no mirrors, except for the original one that you kept! Love it! Home ? Bus schooling is great, like you said! When in the ocean swimming, it's ideal to teach about the oceans. A mouth full of salt water taught me all l needed to know! 😬🤔😉😛. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻. ✌🏻🧡🤘🇨🇦. Ontario 🍁.n

The way you transformed this bus into a functional home is truly inspiring. Great job!

[@elainelipscomb1476]

Great that you teach your children about nature and I hope your safe 🎉

Love it

The family is really lovely 😍. Great bus 🚌 build.

I couln't recall where I saw this bus before and then I saw their sticker wall and saw a sticker I sent them 💌

[@lizzabear.4335]

It's beautiful!

[@dorthoythomas2318]

I love how you converted the bus to your home 🏡 ❤️

[@AlohaNLight2All]

Beautiful Family, Beautiful Home 💕💕💕

[@angelaflint5780]

Aaaah, you are so REFRESHING, beautiful COSMIC family. 🙏 ✨ 💖 THANK YOU, Dear Ones 🌈

[@vangoodwin7335]

I usually resent folks advertising their business because I'm a jerk and just want to see the home! I wish you folks all the good luck with your endeavors. Having been the single Dad, building a business and our home while making time to get outdoors with my children was a tough 14 years. Now they are adults and teaching my grandchildren all we did to survive and thrive together. FAMILY, built together is so much stronger then those just existing in a dwelling. Great bus/home, those personal little touches are more important then you can imagine right now, never be apologetic. You are in my prayers Hoka Hey

[@user-yx1xe2vw6p]

Van Goodwin, true comment👍. A family built together is a hellava stronger than existing in the same building.

[@denisephillips9269]

Sometimes it's interesting to see how incomes are generated but seems many rely on making small items, etc. Wonder just how many self employed trinket (etc.) makers the internet can support....guess enough.....

[@TenajTino]

Love what you’ve done with your space. Such a vibe 💜✨

What kind of fridge freezer you got ?

[@barbsexton2003]

You have a beautiful family.

How much did you pay for your bus? I really love it.

Lovely family, beautiful home!

Beautiful family and a great job❤❤❤.

The bunks look like coffins

[@ganymededarling]

Beautiful bus. That sink is absolutely not from the 1800s though. Possibly 1920s.

[@denisephillips9269]

Don't know how you keep light upolstery clean!😆...you take the tarantula, I'll take the dog(s)😂🤣. Great learning for whole family but especially if kids are from a unicultural area. Kudos to Mom and Dad for taking the plunge and exposing kids to other cultures. My only other note is bed space seems bit too tight, especially bottom one. Little kids grow so fast. Enjoy, good luck, safe travels.

this is so nice looks very cozy thank you for showing us

[@poppydiamante-gy2mv]

Nice home and nice family ❤

[@kbechtel33]

Very nice 🎉❤😊

[@tammyjantzen9004]

I love everything except for the kids beds. A bit too inaccessible, cramped & no air flow. But if the kids don't mind, that's all that counts! Happy travels to you!!

[@jeannerountree952]

Saying hi from New Berlin,Wisconsin! You guys are amazing!

[@lindamarie6574]

Very nice! Cute children😊i like the mom’s saying you start to care less about appearance and more about who you are.

[@hoppas77]

what do you think about the bathroom door issue?

[@lindamarie6574]

@@hoppas77 to each his own i guess, personally i want privacy when i use the bathroom lol

[@denisephillips9269]

At least they have the option to close the door....

[@a.v.5078]

Not really true. She cares alot about appearance. Because the bus, dress, haircut, tattoos are well thought out.

[@lindamarie6574]

@@a.v.5078 yes but she’s not all done up, she is neat and clean and I think she meant after downsizing to the bus?

[@PJ-yp3vb]

God bless you and your family.

[@brooke_milller]

These are our lovely friends ❤ the kids are SO PROUD of their bunk beds and love their home on wheels. Might I add, if you didn’t catch it, they also have a house so this isn’t even their full time setup. Not that it matters one bit as this bus is AMAZING! They are great people and living their lives to the fullest. The kids bunks are very spacious, cozy, and COLORFUL! They’re not “cramped” at all. Idk why people get on here to tear others down in these comment sections. It’s bizarre. Please consider a hobby of sorts to let out your frustrations, not coming to the internet to try to ruin someone’s day for fun. Keep doing you barefootbus crew. Catch y’all on the road 🚌🤙🏼🫶🏼 Bus life is the best life!🎉

[@Radin-mw5fg]

Okay, but why is it called barefoot?!!!!!!

[@MeghanFeir]

To all those concerned about the children's bunks: My husband and I have been in their beautiful bus, and I can assure you that the bunks are more spacious than they appear in this video. They are, indeed, a wonderful, loving family, and their kids are super proud of their bunk beds.

[@DN-rt7tl]

These “parents” should be ASHAMED of themselves.They are not bunk beds.Even dogs need more space than that!

[@joey_reger]

some of these comments... I slept on the floor most my childhood. it's not bad at all haha. y'all just look for the "bad".

[@emmaleefy]

Wow, this bus renovation is giving me all the boho vibes! I can't wait to try it myself.
