  • After three years of building our bus, we were stoked to finally make it to Skooliepalooza in 2021! It was inspiring to see so many self-converted skoolies in one location. It was even more awesome to spend time with such amazing people! We met a lot of new friends, we toured a lot of their skoolies, and we asked them all the same question: Why do YOU choose to live in a skoolie? Here is what they said!

    About Us:
    Hi! We are Mike & Kerry, the proud owners of a 1992 Bluebird rear engine (pusher), 40' school bus! We named her Bussy McBusface in honor of the RRS Boaty McBoatface travesty!
    We're building a Tiny-Home-in-a-Bus for full-time living in the most adventure-friendly way possible! In other words, Bussy will not be parked in our driveway, waiting for weekend or holiday getaways... when we finish the build, we'll be packing everything we're keeping into the bus and driving away from this old house forever!
    We plan to be boondocking the majority of the time, so you'll see that reflected in our choices throughout the build (100 gallon water tank, composting toilet, solar power system, etc). We'd love to have you stick around and follow us on our journey, throughout the Skoolie Build, and to Infinite Adventures Beyond!
    Mike & Kerry

    Weve been in our bus since 09 when we lost our house and my job.
    We bought land a few years ago now all off grid and totally sustainable.
    Best thing I've ever done for myself and I'll never get another 30 year mortgage. This is what was missing for us.

    Mike well done on helping out on the solar project your conversion is still a cut above the others in my opinion maybe I'll see you there someday I've heard it's a blast and you showed us that.

    I just ran across this video and fell in love with you two and all of the people talked with! It seems like such a warm, kind, and inviting group of people who on the surface may seem as if they don't have much in common ( as far as backgrounds, careers, etc) yet you all have found common ground in your desires to travel and live freely. Everyone is so genuine and kind. I want to live like this some day once I have finished raising my kiddos. I have 5 children and all are out on their own except for my 14 year old son so I am thinking maybe 5 years or so from now I could possibly do this! I'm newly disabled and from this point on in my life money will be tight but I still think I could find a rig of some sort that would work for me. I would love to be able to travel and at the same time meet amazing people like you and your husband! The two of you are truly inspiring and I am thrilled to have found your channel 😊Sorry for my rambling , lol, I just got a little carried away as I was watching this. Y'all stay safe

      What a great opportunity it would be to bond with your 14 y/o traveling in a schoolie. Plus, he could be a great help to you with your new condition... If it's possible to get started... go for it. 😉
      I have 5 children, now adults, and I'm so glad I took my youngest on a 5 week tour of Europe when he was 16... I wish I could have traveled more with my middle children. Money & time always seem to be the issue. Peace & blessings to you. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽😊

    Hi Mike, Hi Kerry Just shows how popular bus life really is and so many good looking homes and proves that you both made a good choice.. Sounds like you are thinking of a second build, so I have something else to look forward to.. Its nice to see you both doing so well and looking really good, take care both of you and see you both again soon.. Love to you both as always...K.
