  • Skoolie Swarm is the coolest nomad event we've ever attended! It’s a big family reunion of bus conversions, but we’re thankful that our Sunshine van was welcomed into the Skoolie Swarm family with open arms. The skoolie community is genuine and down-to-earth, but they also know how to throw a party! This is Skoolie Swarm’s 7th annual event in Melrose, Florida, where #buslife and #vanlife unite into one big party of traveling nomads for an entire week! This episode is also special to us because we were joined by our van life friends, and gathered down by the lake with the most beautiful sunrise and sunset views! The only downside… we might have gotten stuck in the mud! But we have a blast trying to do it all - touring a ton of unique bus conversions and even dressing up for prom night!

    We love this event! It’s our annual must. You did a great job showing the community which is really what this is all about! The only two bad things about these are not getting around to ever van, bus or campfire, and well leaving!

      Thanks so much! ❤️ And you're exactly right, we tried so hard to get around to all of the official and unofficial events, but we just couldn't get to them all! 😂 We really can't wait for next year's events. It will be a blast and we hope to stay longer and meet more amazing folks in the community!
