[@davidramossalsologoporexse2469]

[@robinprice6879]

Hands down the greatest short bus I've seen yet. I'm so happy for you that everything came together. Chance of a lifetime, huh? Be well

[@krisano1prsn]

Agreed! This is lovely!

[@joythompson610]

Stunning! So beautiful!😍🏆

[@markevans3589]

Pure talent and beauty!!

[@AnAussieinAmerica]

Such a beautiful build..... From that DECK to the Table.... its drivable art.

[@marco_the_maker]

Wow, an artist that actually does art. 👍🏻

[@peteryoo7394]

Alphahacker you got that back to front my friend. It’s art made by an artist. 😁

[@Adam-cn5ib]

ur dumb

[@fishpants7764]

Since when have artists not done art?

[@wagwangangdem2842]

Alphahacker what else is an artist supposed to be a foot

[@andrewtalbot9534]

Thanks so much for all the comments and feedback!! One of the main reasons I did the project was to inspire others to take the leap so it really means a lot. The amount of humans I've connected with on the road and online has been truly life changing and so stoked to be apart of such an solid world tribe of like minded individuals. Heart goes out to all of you, much love and good luck with all the builds! Currently toughing out the start of winter in Nelson B.C. and getting ready for what is hopefully an epic snowboard season. Bought a 2003 Diesel Ford Bluebird Bus this year so my plan is to start renoing it in the Spring. I'll be selling Bodhi numero uno in May-June so hit me up on IG if you'd like to know more. You can follow along on @bodhibus for updates and progress on the new project. Also, to follow my artwork and what I've been up to in the studio you can find me @creatures_of_the_sun on IG. Thanks everyone who has ordered artwork so far, extremely grateful for the support! Planning to make a short doco this winter with all my footage from the trip so stay tuned for some more footy capturing the build and life on the road.

[@annieb.869]

I currently have a rusty 2005 Kia Sedona I transformed into a cheap campervan while saving money to eventually buy a bigger home on wheels once my almost 16 year old daughter moves out. How is the gaz consumption on your Bohdi, with all the added structures? Did you sell it already? Do you make enough money with your art to maintain the nomadic lifestyle or do you take jobs? I was gonna ask how much you are selling it but I probably cannot afford it yet. Take care!

[@madisonlaine2682]

Congrats Andy, this is epic. Glad you are living the life you saw for yourself!

[@thepress2763]

great job Andrew! The coolest bus I've seen yet! it would be great to see more videos of life with your bus :)

[@Frost-tb9qs]

Do you plan on doing another video?

[@luns486]

I saw your bus once! Parked on the main street in Cumberland, Vancouver Isalnd. It left a real impression on me, to the point that I recognised it immediately when I saw this video. All these years later and I've just finished my 3rd van build, myself. This latest one, here in Australia. Thanks for the inspiration man ✌

[@dontworryaboutit273]

ha! tree planted with this guy in BC. he is genuine and so kind. happy to see him following his dreams.

[@leannadelone5696]

I hope you are still living this dream! Your rig is truly awe inspiring, especially the roof deck. Thank you for sharing your bus and experience.

[@jtspy4433]

Awesome dude... I'm 75 ... Have been a road artist all of my life. Now looking to bus it. I must say your interior is one of the best and clean looking of all I have seen. Keep on keep n on ..... TIE TIS. Truck It Easy. Truck It Safe. JT SPY....

[@BeccaEryn]

I almost wanted to cry when I saw that table. So beautiful. Powerful energy there for sure.

[@DFullerLisa]

You’re for real an artist with that table! Very cool!

[@madedigital]

DEF ONE OF THE NICEST HANDWORK ON THE BUS AND THE TABLE IS BETTER THAN SOME IVE SEEN IN HOUSES, IM HAPPY FOR YOU

[@KD-sl3ve]

Just came across this video and this is one of the nicest looking conversions I have seen

[@thomasmyklebust7444]

I believe that this is the most beautiful van build i’ve ever seen

[@earthtonesoul]

this is probably the most beautiful and open build i have ever seen, makes me extremely excited to start mine

[@jmdminiaturehorse63]

Best bus I have ever seen. Work of art.

[@thepress2763]

awesome design! the coolest bus I've seen yet!

[@AlexBabyCUTIE]

Went through one of the hardest times in my life. Starting my journey soon so exciting to get my van!

[@metouw]

4:59 That detachable "frame" for his hammock on top of the van is actually a pretty nice idea

[@vtuschen]

You're van is a piece of art.

[@ReuvenEtzion]

Work of art! Very inspirational.

[@justingrant4860]

Honestly I've been researching bus conversations for some years now .....this is one of my absolute favorites I believe simplicity is key

[@_sacredseven_]

Love how clean and simple this is. Best one I've seen

[@sonjaashmore2972]

This I must say is REALLY BEAUTIFUL, and love the table.

[@MsIstria]

Super artiste bravo

[@nazufani]

"over coming the voice in your head that says you can't do it".....but you did. beautiful conversion.

[@sharkitty]

The hammocks are a really nice touch 🤙

[@cookie-qj8fz]

Sometimes you come across a piece of art that you never thought you needed to see, but this is one of those times!

[@forthepeoplesubs1826]

This is gorgeous! He’s beautiful inside and out! 🌞🌱🌿💞💞

[@annadastoli9698]

Beautiful work Andrew :)

[@Jessica_Beee]

*I've seen large buses, buses with beds and bath, all kinds. This is actually my favorite. It's literally a comfortable den in the road. Awesome job ‼️*

[@mzumno]

His van is definitely one of the coolest I've ever seen and I love his art so much too

[@RandoCommando]

Dude. You're an amazing artist! I'm jealous and envious of your way of life. You're living a dream that others have!!!

[@HylkjenArt]

I love the table and the sink!

[@PeaceandLoveHarmony]

Absolutely Love it! Looking at this same bus, a 93' for my first venture into Vanlife! I resonate with every sentiment that you've expressed! Thank you for such a lovely heart felt confirmation! Hope youre still enjoying life!

[@kodaharts3647]

Ive seen just about every skoolie video on KZbin twice and half the van life videos and this is the coolest and most awesome use of space I've seen yet! The deck too is so creative and a new way of use too! Very inspiring, thank you.

[@PlaceForAnEcho]

Absurdly gorgeous build. Impressive. Very unique.

[@OPs1-1]

This home/bus is so original and organic... it's amazing. Owner has great energy. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@harveymushman2219]

Very cool....

[@xoxo2026]

I love how clean you keep It!

[@VivianL-wm6gq]

Probably my favorite van life I’ve seen the past five years!

[@karlatorres6664]

This is by far the best van/bus tour I’ve ever seen. The woodwork is absolutely stunning!

[@Ciara1594]

So clean and spacious. 😊

[@lennyp4782]

He and the van are one in that they exhibit the same type of relaxed demeanor. Cool build. 😉😉😉

[@lindamarie6574]

Great artwork, great bus! So unique and awesome!

[@3gatoss]

this has to be the best van build ive ever seen

[@DebMer]

Definitely one of my favorite shorties so far.

[@ErikRoseJohnsen]

Love the artwork! Amazing colors. And the school bus is fantastic.

[@esthergerlitz2359]

I love the bed set up. It's very nice to be able to walk the length of the bus. I probably would have put a little toilet room in the corner

[@Unclejamsarmy]

This guy seems unusually honest and genuine and I respect that he took the jump and put in the effort to do this. Pretty inspiring. Humans can be pretty fucking awesome sometimes

[@zendog57]

You seem to have a wisdom very mature for a guy your age. Nice! Happy travels to you.

[@whynotbekind1957]

That is the most awesome conversion I have ever seen. Total manifestation of yourself and your art. Your artistic ability has made this into something that is smart. your design skills and eye for beauty has made it extremely functional but with great beauty. The design of the bed is the best I’ve seen and don’t even get me started on the table.....I am an artist myself and totally appreciate what you have done...Your artwork is great too....so colorful and bright and full of motion and life.

[@celestesoto]

Wow all your art is amazing!!!! Your entire bus is art, you are an inspiration!!!

[@ritanooney865]

WOW!! fantastic art work!

[@andrewtalbot9534]

Thanks! You can follow what I've been up to in the studio @creatures_of_the_sun

[@patriciadanko208]

Nice job. Awesome work.

[@justanotherhuman3668]

Beautiful. This is the dream. Complete freedom.

[@StupidStuff62]

It’s settled. When I get older I’m doing this exact thing.

[@freedomfred6518]

Awesome bus, you did an amazing job.

[@vanmanmike]

Best schoolie build that I have seen. Great woodwork. Beautiful!

[@wesleywang915]

Sickest bus I've seen so far

[@AREDEE365]

What I like about this build: It's beautiful with all the wood, wood framed windows, and its a small rig. A roof deck for time soaking up some vitamin D. 2:04 speaks on overcoming self-limiting thoughts that society and family members inundate us with.

[@humanconnectionflores]

Youngman ,you should be very proud .just beautiful.

[@timothydelling9904]

I usually can't stand vanlife vids. A bunch of spoiled yuppies that don't get it. You sir are an amazing human with amazing energy. I'm so happy for you.

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

Your home is absolutely beautiful!!! What an amazing artist you are! I am so envious! This is EVERYTHING and I wish you all the wonderful things life has to offer! You should be proud because you have done the hardest part which is actually grabbing onto your dream and making it happen. Most of us only dream. You have to live it and be it and you are it!

[@andrewtalbot9534]

Thanks! Really appreciate it! All the best in your own creative flow and dream making :)

[@MsTemptation]

Your floating table is beautiful. I love the simplicity combined with the art. Your use of mason jars is clever as is your bed.

[@dylanstoner4065]

So cool

[@alexandria1316]

Are you still traveling in the bus? I’ve watched your vid before and watching it again! The build was just so beautiful!

[@bodhibus]

Hey thanks for the message, currently I'm living full time in Bodhi on a 10 acre off-grid property I purchased last year situated on the west coast of Vancouver Island. So been spending the fall getting him ready for full time winter living and continuing to reno my new diesel bus :)

[@ewalker1057]

Very talented. Excellent.

[@1thank2you3]

[@andrewtalbot9534]

Thanks! You can follow what I've been up to in the studio @creatures_of_the_sun

[@CetMM]

This was a brilliant build by a seemingly cool guy. What he said resonated a lot, as did his stylistic sensibilities.

[@ashleyrojas1957]

This was one of the most inspiring “van life” videos I’ve seen

[@lenorelee4249]

Best conversion ever🤩
