VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Join the Geasey Adventure Crew as they take you on a tour on their amazing skoolie conversion of a 1996 (250 sq. ft.) Bluebird TC-2000 named "Alex". Luke and Hannah were chasing "the American Dream" and it was killing them, so tiny living became their solution. This DIY bus conversion has all of the comforts of their old apartment but the freedom to live wherever they want. From the gorgeous open L-shaped living room, to the spacious kitchen (check out that cast iron sink) they made this school bus their home. The insight and advice that Hannah and Luke have on family living in the bus is so insightful, and can be an inspiration for any family looking to live tiny. Thanks Geasey family and cheers to your next adventure!

Most Bus homes have an aisle straight down the middle of the bus with a kitchen on one side and the living room area on the other side, but you all manage to put in a big apartment size kitchen in with the living room on the same side and in a L shape too. Really beautiful home you have there...

I’m seriously considering what to do once my lease ends in February because I’m sick of throwing so much money away each month towards someone else’s ownership!

I left for a guy and moved in with him 2002 had a 3 bedroom attic apartment and it was 500$ plus electric! But I can't breathe and I'm on the 3rd floor so I might not have been able to do all the stairs anymore? Good luck and hope you find something cheaper 🙏🙏

@@me4654 $500 + electric?! What state is that? 😳 The only way someone could pay that here is if they live in the hood where all the violence is!! However, I suppose it’s also possible in the far suburbs if you actually buy the property, but not in Chicago!! Those are hood prices here, or some kind of government assistance which is typically in the hood as well.

I'm thinking of different options for my future, I like the skoolie idea as the buses are so solid and typically don't leak like traditional rv's and i like the under storage of the blue birds but I don't want it to limit the places I can get too.

They have a shower, they mentioned it during the tour. While not everyone eats at a dining table, that's a matter of preference... There's also the cargo trailer they tow behind the bus, gives them some extra work space, place to stow tools, and has tables, etc. they can pull out for outdoor activities... From their Instagram, it looks like they have a picnic bench they set up and they probably just prefer having family activities outdoors as they are set up to boondock...
