VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Kari has been traveling full-time for two years in her converted shuttle bus. She's comfortable living a minimalistic life, as pre-bus life, she backpacked Europe by herself and worked on a sailboat for the experience! The interior of her tiny home has a functional layout with a comfortable vibe and several storage spaces for quality organization.
The welcoming design has a full-length couch, rounded edges countertops, and an excellent divider she recycled from the trash! Under the bed is a garage space perfect for holding items that aren't necessary daily. Kari suggests that anyone with a desire to get out there and experience the nomadic lifestyle, to go out there and do it!

Thanks to your video I have MADE A DECISION ON THE SIZE OF MY BUS! I have watched thousands of hours of videos for two years trying to make sure I choose a bus that would be comfortable for me and quests. but recently I come to the conclusion that this is for ME and my peace of mind and that I would most likely be alone most of the time. I see it coming together now, sister. So, make room on the highway for me! See you soon. Thanks so much for the words of encouragement!

This is THE nicest laid out short bus I've seen! I feel so comfortable in there - - I can see why she loves it & why she prefers it, for sure. : ) I love the privacy screen from the couch to the bed..... so cute...... it all has that farmhouse/ boho chic vibe that is so cute & cozy. Great build out!

I immediately noticed that screen also. Looks to be from India and I like how it was painted white. It adds so much charm! There is much color and texture and interest in the home but it isn't overdone and doesn't give a cluttered feeling. Just the right amount of everything.

Aahh, this is a build that just makes sense! Simple and uncomplicated, pretty and homey, with everything one needs organized in a sensible way. I love that it has a DIY feel and isn't too slick, and yet it is cohesive, pleasant-looking, and all the parts work well together. I do wish she had talked about installing the wood on the ceiling, what kind it is, if the bus is insulated, etc., but really, what a great job she did!

Kari is right, if you want to travel and live in a bus or whatever traveling vehicle just do it. You don't want to wait until you are 60 or 70 years old to start traveling. Kari you did a good job with your bus build. It looks cozy and inviting inside your bus.

@@january2798 I bought an ex greyhound bus and am building it out now and at the end of this month I’m moving in ready or not and will be hitting the road! I’m 58 and there’s no better time than now! I’m now debt free and don’t know how many more years I have out here so I’m gonna do it while I can and never look back. I can’t wait and maybe I’ll be lucky enough to run into her someday so I can get a couple doses of that beautiful energy that she posses!! There’s no way you could not be happy when being around this beautiful soul and her dogs seem to have the same personality she does! What a treat for the soul!!

I am 70 and recently bought a vintage toyota rv. I should have bought when I was still working, as a way to get out of town and relax. But now that I am retired I really have no huge urge to go. I couldn't be happier not working and am as happy as a bug in a rug just hanging out , doing projects, and chilln. So the rv mostly sits and is used occasionally.

When I tell some people my dream of van life, some say it's very dangerous. I tell them (something i heard from a solo woman) I've gotten hurt by those closest to me than a stranger. Within a month i found a van, retired and quit my job i hated. I plan on being completely out of my house i rent and on the road by June. Thank you for your encouragement to just do it. Getting my van ready!!
