The inside of this bus is bonkers & we like it!

In this week's episode, Destiny takes us on a tour of her quirky, pink school bus, which she has transformed into a full-time home all by herself! This unique living space is complete with LOTS of hidden storage and a music recording studio, so Destiny can travel across the country in both style and comfort.

Things I love: 1. Repurposed desk sink 2. Wardrobe behind the TV 3. Confessional closet 4. Toilet flush button 5. Studio 6. Jeff pillow 7. Pink trim exterior 8. Her voice 9. Her talent 10. Her personality

[@DestinyGuerra]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed all 10!

[@2legit64]

Don't forget the hidden spice rack! That was ingenious!

[@acff65]

I concur, wholly! Such festive color selections, too. Jill of all trades, it seems. Do you secure your all of your doo-dads, books, etc. onto your shelves with hook and loop/ Velcro to minimize travel readiness? I hope you have some cans of Raid Wasp Spray, Bear Spray or similar method(s) of self-defense apparatus strategically located inside and in exterior access panels. Maybe a pew-pew? I don't expect a response to that. Safe travels and happy times. Thanks for sharing. I'll be checking out your build videos and music on your channels.

[@J.Lynnimus]

11. Penchant for Beautiful frames for ...um... "family photos" 12. Rowan Atkinson idolatry (Wonderful sense of humor).

[@DawnOldham]

Amazing woman, amazing musician and singer, amazing home and life! Your song was so cute and your voice is beautiful. But sadly yes, here in America teachers who live alone or are single parents don't make a living wage. Add to that being "on" all day long (especially with little ones because you can barely find a time to relieve yourself!), it's easy to see why this life was so appealing! Hooray 🎉 for you! Your life looks just dandy!

i second that, and the song was totally cute, i’m trying to hunt it down…do we know the name of it? cos’ i’m not a modern womban either and i would love to share it?! 🧚 🙏🧚 🙏 power to the people

[@DestinyGuerra]

Thank you, and yes to all this!

[@DestinyGuerra]

@@vwellness88 Thanks for looking for my song! My music will be back on Spotify soon, but in the meantime I play Modern Woman every stream over on Twitch!

Great build!! Love Dolly! Destiny explains everything really well. You can tell she was a teacher.

[@DestinyGuerra]

Haha! My teacher voice will never go away. 😅

[@cmsmith3010]

Woohoo!! Destiny, you have created an amazing living space!! Wow!! This IS indeed the most creative and fun Skoolie I have seen yet! Awesome!! Great voice and musical talent as well! You go girl!!! 🩷🩷🩷

[@DestinyGuerra]

Thank you, thank you! I appreciate it!

[@joybeans10]

I’m in awe of her and her artistry - music wise and building talent. Very inspiring.

[@Pokav1deo]

This is fantastic. Unrelated but summer 1995 I attended a Grateful Dead show in Highgate, Vermont. As my group of friends settled in to our campsite alongside thousands of other attendees, a yellow school bus pulled in and parked nearby. Once the driver turned the engine off, the back door flew open and a ramp descended. Harley after Harley was unloaded (maybe three or four). They’d altered the letters above the windshield that normally read “SCHOOL BUS”, to “COOL US”.

[@SpykersB]

Lol! Cool story. 🍻

[@itsjeninMass]

I love that!

[@DestinyGuerra]

So fun!

[@cdg1111]

I wouldn't live on a bus, but she seems so happy and has accomplished so much. The 🚌 is really cool and probably reflects her artistic personality, so good for her! Loved this one and the fact that you let her play one of her songs🎵 🎶 She's brilliant. 🎉🎉

[@DestinyGuerra]

Thank you!

[@espnmk]

A Renaissance Woman, very creative with her craft and her cleverly built Bus Dolly, Thanks for Sharing...

[@joannframe4964]

Love her Dolly and her fabulous singing voice!❤️ What a fantastic job she did on the conversion ❤️

[@gardyloo3093]

I've seen this before! Was it on a different tiny house channel? Yes, this IS the most creative skoolie ever! I love every bit of it. The spice rack is my favourite! And that hidden wardrobe - genius! Also this lady has an absolutely beautiful singing voice! Truly inspirational in so many different ways!

[@daviduribe3111]

The 'Tiny Home Tours' channel in May 2024.

[@gardyloo3093]

@@daviduribe3111 Wow. I didn't even know I was subscribed to that. lol

[@itsjeninMass]

Wow! Everything about Destiny and Dolly is fabulous! Great musician, too! I'm really impressed that she did the whole build herself! Very cool!

[@Tameasa]

Destiny has achieved one of the quirkiest skoolie builds I've seen. I usually get bored with skoolie tours, but this one kept me watching. Her personality shines in this build. I found myself laughing throughout. I loved her "spice rack" and its empty bottles. While she was pulling it out, I said out loud, "You don't cook!" LOL Super fun and super creative young woman.

[@pattischolten7303]

Such talent! Thank you for sharing Dolly with us! Destiny - I wish you every success in your music and life endeavors! You are so talented and just a joy to be around!

[@DestinyGuerra]

Thank you, Patti!

[@offairhead]

I am a professional school bus driver and I’m obsessed with skoolies bc that’s what I want to do in my vacation time and I’ve been watching skoolie builds for over 10 years and this is by far the very best bus build I’ve ever seen!!!

[@nyneeveanya8861]

I love this layout. Doesn’t look like a hallway. Foyer and Living room area separate from kitchen area, maintenance and bathroom area, studio and bedroom area. I love the movable wall so you don’t see the cab area. Actually looks like a small apartment. Great job.❤

[@wellbeingandhealth6094]

Amazing woman! So resourceful and talented with a great home on wheels!

[@melissarobinson5189]

As soon as I saw this bus, I knew she had to be a fellow Floridian!! Destiny is the kind of person everyone else gravitates to. She’s incredibly unique & musically gifted (the best female vocalist I’ve ever heard). I wholeheartedly love everything she did inside Dolly!! I’ll definitely be following Destiny’s musical journey!

[@HeroAntagonist]

There are a lot, I mean a lot of clever space saving ideas here. The walk in wardrobe had me giving the thumbs up. Great design with cool quirks

[@sarameitner6770]

I'm delighted by all the innovative additions and secret places. WOW! And LOVE the song! Thank you for this video!

[@tessyredding5422]

Amazing build! It’s impressive that you did it yourself. You’re exactly the kind of person who can enjoy the bus life to the fullest.

[@ThestuffthatSaralikes]

I will never forget my first music teacher in elementary school. Ms. Margaret McDonald and her beautiful red hair, her amazing voice and her absolute LOVE of music and passing that love to us. I’m 44 now, but I’ll never forget her.❤

[@Tam.I.am.]

Everyone needs at least one doll in their lives. I'm trying to get it down to nearly that number. I really like the engineering that went into your build.

[@JRao]

Unbelievable how much bus building skill this woman has - seems like she would be able to make good money building for people or consulting - but that probably won't be as fullfilling as her music endeavors.

[@bonitak8483]

Beautiful home! So proud of you. I’m a recent retired teacher. You are an inspiration to many who stay in jobs that causes them stress and forget to live their dreams. Good luck with your singing.

[@amygray1554]

The "Be My Friend!" commenting on videos like this have always given me the ick, so it's amusing that I'm experiencing the same urge. This is a super-cool build, and Destiny seems like a woman who would be able to write a fascinating autobiography at 50 if she had the inclination. Nice job.

[@debbralehrman5957]

I love watching these to see all of the cool ideas for hiding spaces and space savers. Love the TV/Closet and the no spice Spice rack. Thanks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺

[@arina61998]

Skoolie and the woman are amazing. She is free, and she can do what she wants and drive anywere she wants.

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

So many awesome details in this bus. Love it!!

[@cherrypicasso]

Love the vintage pink bathroom and all the celebrity face pillows. Your bus is fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing it. I'm definitely taking some inspiration with me for my own build.

[@DNLDVID]

I absolutely love your bus design! It is so different from any thing I have ever seen! I also love that you are designing your life to live your dream! Bravo!

[@DestinyGuerra]

Thank you so much!~

[@LDK-dt7wm]

Like so many others, I absolutely love her voice, her talent for writing songs, her creativity, her style, her amazing imagination and above all her personality, which is fun, industrious and cool, very cool.

[@DestinyGuerra]

Thank you so much!

[@x35mmman]

the walk in closet is a genius move...been watching school bus built for four years

[@PhilipDonna1982]

I laughed so much throughout this video, what a great sense of humor Destiny has. Even the song she performed here is tongue in cheek. 😂. Her students will probably remember her as the funnest teacher they ever had. Excellent and amazing work on the bus! Good luck to her.

[@DestinyGuerra]

Thanks so much, Phillip! That's exactly how every teacher hopes their students remember them. ❤

[@Jeanie__Bottle]

Love “Dolly” and your talent. ✌️💜

[@stacydougherty4439]

Oh my word! I play piano, sing, and play ukulele!!!!!! I love this so much!!!

[@barbwatkins3676]

Fabulous build. Very clever, innovative, intelligent lady. Definitely living the dream..and deservedly so. Congratulations Destiny on creating the perfect home for you.

[@christianmarler21]

If music doesn’t work out for you, you could always built amazing homes! Well done !

[@annapacatang5079]

I love the happy colors inside and outside of your home on wheels, Destiny ❤ You are so talented with your music, voice, and customized build!!! It has such a spacious and homey feel. Great job! Cute song! Safe travels!

[@DestinyGuerra]

Thank you so much, Anna!

[@AfreenUmairAsghar]

Ahhh, what a sight to see this beautiful sou again 😅... she is amazing 👏🏻 look at her beautiful artistic kitchen and bathroom, so creative 😍 💖 💕 ❤️ Unfortunately, the teachers need to get more recognition. Not everyone is smart enough to teach others.. not everyone has a brain.. teachers need to get more than they deserve. Stay blessed 🙌🏻❤

[@jeanbaardsen2863]

Destiny, so impressive! Love the bus, and love your new confidence gained from the build. What a happy home!

Destiny, I'm truly impressed with your talents! Beautiful singing voice, great ideas for your bus build and excellent execution! I'm really happy that you took the leap and are living your dream of working on the road like Dolly. Your bus is beautiful! Blessings from a fellow skoolie chick. 😊

[@DestinyGuerra]

Thank you so much, Connie! See ya on down the road!

[@themisanthropicferret]

Destiny reminds me somehow of Liza Minnelli's character Linda in the original movie "Arthur"...a savvy, clever, hardscrabble take-charge kinda gal, also with a voice and the talent to pick and strum that message out there to the world. Beautiful bus, as well! Here's to "Dolly"! (Both of them!)

[@DestinyGuerra]

Any Liza Minelli comparison is a huge compliment, thank you!

[@suemcknight9051]

Love the bus, the woman, the music, the story…and, now, I somehow hope someone brings this woman’s great talent (both building & music) to Dolly P’s attention…who I believe would love all of this, too ❤️‍🔥👌💞

[@DestinyGuerra]

If Dolly ever met Dolly my life life would be complete (and my head would implode from excitement haha).

[@jmitch8483]

I love everything about this!!

[@traceymcgee261]

Great creative solutions all through the bus! Love all the kitchy decor makes it own.❤ (I mean a disco squatty potty! That’s livin’!). And lovely voice! Smooth and jazzy. I enjoyed your tour!!

[@DestinyGuerra]

Thank you, Tracey! No bathroom is complete without a disco squatty potty!

[@jerseyandhernomads]

Forgive me Father for I have sinned...oh my the memories of confession. Beautiful build ❤

[@offairhead]

4:44 yes. As a professional school bus driver of 10 years, I have been assigned seven different buses for service plus numerous different buses for substitute buses and every single one of them has always always leaked!

[@mandyellis876]

What a stunning bus conversion. Fair play to you Destiny for your incredible build! Your music is excellent too…best wishes for the future of being on the road.

[@lindamarie6574]

I love your bus! The colors are so uplifting, i love lots of color myself, next vid, show your cats!😊

[@gullygreen566]

Love this 💚🫶🏼

[@prosthetic_lips]

Woo hoo! A teaser about the tour; a possible midwest leg? Dolly looking fine, as always!

[@babyblueeyes7177]

16:07 This is a fantastic solo self build. Personally though the bench you took 3 weeks to make, I’d have put all the electricals ( the heart of the bus workings you day) under the bench, and have the big door that swings all the way out, into another cupboard. It seems such a waste of a lot of space. It’s a fantastic bus. Well done.

[@sophirichmanfletcher4657]

The work of a creative genius!! Music, carpentry, electrical, solar... I'm in awe. You could actually get paid to be a consultant, I imagine, for those of us with different talents not listed here. 🤨😸 I live in a conversion van with 2 tuxedo kitties, and my idea of a "build" is installing second hand furniture that I may or may not have spray painted first. 🤷‍♀️ I absolutely love the vintage vibe of the kitchen cabinetry, the appliances in drawers, all the beautiful colors throughout....but where were the kitties? 😳😿 Also, how do you keep display items, musical instruments, etc from moving or falling during travel? 🤔 Loved the song at the end 🙌💓

[@mariannejensen5244]

What! An! Awesome! Lady! Thank you for sharing! She is sooo talented!! I love her build! I LOVE her voice! Great video!!

I only think square, so had I not seen this video I wouldn’t have thought to angle things. I love her build. If I had built one it would be cottage core decor, though.
