Hollie & Kelly, both school teachers in Oregon, decided that they wanted to spice up their yearly summer vacations by trying something new, nomadic life. After looking into different options of mobile homes, they discovered that what was on the market was not only out of budget, but also lacking uniqueness or charm. Through watching KZbin videos, they finally decided to take the leap into skoolie life & have found that building their own home on wheels was rewarding & has encompassed them in an abundant community of like-minded people. Their home is complete with a large living room, stunning kitchen with butcher block countertops, a bathroom, & main bedroom.

Geesh 😮 They really did an INCREDIBLE job. From the inside, you could never tell this is a bus converted mobile tiny home.

[@elainelipscomb1476]

Really great build ENJOY your time on the road.🎉🎉

[@bythegraceofgod993]

This build is simple and elegant. Looks like it contains everything I would want except a loft with sun light and curved stairs with storage that would remind me that at 71 I can still live the way I want. So spacious, great flooring, gotta have tongue and groove and still tons of potential!!! I want one. 🚌🚍🚐 Good job!

[@segundacuenta726]

What a nice couple and a nice bus. She has a calm voice, I bet they are both good teachers. Congrats

[@suzannecranford6819]

Beautiful! Your bus is full of personality! Thanks for the tour! 💕

[@hutoxipatel3610]

[@denisephillips9269]

Retire as soon as you can.....don't work for just a few $$ more!! Beautiful build. Enjoy and safe travels

[@wallysmith6344]

Lovely home and couple.💕💕

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

They did a beautiful job

[@ariel393939]

Wow, just wow !! There is so much going on here. You guys got a good deal for the bus, with the design, and work $25,000 for Everything that is Awesome, for it looks so expensive. The kitchen, bathroom, tons of storage including pantry, I love. The use of napkins for a valance I would not of thought of. To not be professionals, you two did a fabulous job, the creativity, well teachers are creative. Enjoy your beautiful home and happy travels. Tfs

[@lindagibson9528]

Your bus is gorgeous! I was amazed at how big and open inside. The white gives it a beautiful setting of calming. God Bless

[@meridethhendry5733]

Oh my gosh! What an incredibly beautiful build. I absolutely love it! Just can’t say enough good things things about it. Sweet couple!

[@yolandagreen6108]

I've seen many skoolie but this one right here is one of the most beautiful converted I've seen ,love the decor and color pallet chosen it really has that home feeling 🫶🫶

[@R-L-I]

Wow, their bus looks better than my apartment 😂

[@conniejones6697]

One of the best build I seen I love it

[@lindagerace4110]

Just beautiful!

[@karenbays9185]

Love the bus!!! It's beautiful!!! Safe travels!!! Hello from fellow Oregon peeps!!!

[@milliealford8968]

Really beautiful! Love farmhouse look.

[@naomidonovan-perry2667]

Love how this is finished out!

[@stargirlofantares9053]

This is an absolutely beautiful bus. It’s one of the 1st “farmhouse” buses I’ve actually liked & everything is pristine, which I’m usually against. Plus it’s all so functional! I’m astounded at how little you spent! I’ve not seen a bus look that good for so little! You’re a delightful couple & I really hope you get to fulfill a dream of traveling full time. Love it! From Oregon with love! ♥️ Jessica

[@stevenannett1739]

Very nice build and one of the most homie builds I've seen! And not over done !

[@bluemoon4921]

Love the wood stove❤

[@HoVseMD]

Hope you enjoy all the hard work and loving you poured into your beauty ❤

[@SteveOnTheEastCoast]

Really cute couple. Reminds me of my great Aunt and Uncle. Great Bus design 👍🏾

[@sharlynebeach2786]

What a great looking home. Everything was thoughtfully planned out. It must be a new build because it was sqeaky clean. Hope this couple gets to enjoy many fun years traveling around in it.

[@nurseelliott4256]

Looks to be a very nice and comfortable build. Well done 👍

[@janicefreedman8173]

What a gorgeous bus! Terrific couple, so lovely and know what they are doing. The bus looks like a professional company restored and decorated it Wow! Fabulous! Have fun with your adventures! 😊

[@dean4558]

Definitely one of my favorite bus builds, LOVE the modern look 😍

[@midnite22767]

Great job on the build! RV's are incredibly over priced for the quality of the build in most cases. The best thing about building your own bus conversion is that you will know how to service everything because you purchased and installed it. Drive safe on your future travels!

[@allieb1621]

Wow so beautiful. Congrats on creating your wonderful home on the road!

[@kimski5391]

You both built a beautiful home! Happy travels :)

[@MDWascom40]

[@selisagrimes9837]

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!! I would suggest that you place a wooden table over the dirty close bin, so it can be used as a night stand.

[@cindywalk9878]

I’m from a very small town in South/West corner of Wyoming only a population of around 15,000. I’ve watched a lot of the Schooly’s , Van life and Tiny Homes show on KZbin. But your family lives in the same city as my brother. I don’t know what the population is there in The Dallas. But he’s older than me. Same father but from different mothers. But I haven’t talked to him for some where around 40 years. I never even met intel I was 17. My oldest is named after our father and my brother. I’ve been trying to find him since 2017 to let him know that that our had passed away. I haven’t spoken to him since 1985. I no that’s a long time but that was on him. I keep trying over the years I would write and some time’s they would come back and sometimes they wouldn’t. But those ones I don’t know if he opened them or just though them in garbage or if I sending them to my right address.🤷‍♀️😢 I just wish I could talk to him because after the passing of both of my parents my mom’s side of family just disowned me that included our younger sister and my oldest son are right there also. My live the same only 7 miles from me. Sorry I’ve talked”./ dh your ear off and more or less gave you my life history. I bid you good night. Oh ya I forgot to ask what grades do you teach. My new daughter-in-law teach’s 4th grade. And my brothers name is Mathew Robert Proffitt (and goes by Bob). You probably don’t know him.

[@zaidavictorialaragonzales1877]

LIKE: Weight of the burning wood stove

[@marciam6224]

Nice but unless you can fit 2 bedrooms in it (preferably at opposite ends) we could never survive it. lol Hubby snores like a freight train and I have fibromyalgia and 85% of the time, I can't sleep at night. It does look like it would be fun though.

[@user-fg5mv9ze2y]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Blue_ocean66]

[@dakotacoren6936]

It's ironically fitting and proper that teachers, such as yourselves, are essentially homeless. For years community members have quietly lost their homes trying to pay the increased property taxes to meet the endless unionized greedy demands for pay raises for teachers!

[@ensignunderwood5169]

I guess I don’t get your “ironically”. It sounds like they understood their salary limitations and through ingenuity, their desire to expand their lives is being rewarded. It’s probably more accurate to fix responsibility to the federal government for loss of purchasing power of your dollars. Local school districts are put under pressure by inflation, though sometimes by an older, stable work force who might be at the top of the wage scale. Monetary policy is the only factor in inflation no matter what the feds say. Remember, they have an interest in inflated prices because they borrow so much money and have a stake in not paying lenders in stable, valued money. if you spent 40% more than your supposed to given your income, you would want to blame others for your failures also. Locals or regionals must respond to inflation generated by federal borrowing and spending despite what the Keynesians will tell you after they see this post.

[@ensignunderwood5169]

I really appreciate your video showing that your sweat guided by clever thinking has been so productive. Real value in that.

[@Dovietail]

Is there a fire exit in your bedroom?

[@vallapink]

YAY I was first to like 👍

[@MrBigtruck57]

Hello my name is lorenzo my question to you guys is how it for auto insurance for the bus

[@TinyHomeTours]

Hi Lorenzo! Although I'm not sure which company Hollie and Kelly use for insurance we know nomads who are insured through Geico, State Farm, National General etc. We always recommend calling around to different companies and agents to make sure you get the right policy for you. 🙂

[@klolwtf6973]

Reds.

[@metasamsara]

Putting the blades down on the magnet is a TERRIBLE idea. Pros put blades up. Otherwise looks comfy. I would have favored electricity though especially with the roof space of a bus, plenty of room for solar panels.

[@benitawalker3658]

Beautiful build Jesus loves you repent
