VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Liv only took 48 hours to buy a bus and quit her job to travel the nation. She was burnt out at her job in D.C., found the bus, researched skoolie life, and started her conversion journey. The kitchen was partially built when she purchased it, so she added to it and installed a top-loading fridge and cosmetic upgrades.
In the center of her rig are two hooks mounted for hammock chairs, allowing extra seating when guests are over. She prioritized clothes storage over a full shower room and didn't regret it! The bed in the back has a gorgeous broad view with windows and several small open storage spaces for plants, drinks, and a phone charger station.

I had a ton of fun filming this with Liv! She really is as kind, down to earth, and cool as she comes across on camera.
@@kamikazitsunami supporting the performance of this video and supporting liv but spin it how you want.
Sage, meeting all the bus baddies ♥️
She seems like a really cool person. Loved this tour!
@Life as we know it She said she sold her house so I assume the money came from whatever she made off that.
great tour! thanks for this, always inspiring
I love what you did and why you did it... Sometimes when burnout hits nurses it's better to consider other options for our mental health survival. I left in 2010 for personal reasons. Life was getting in the way of trying to do it all. I' m a Mom of adult children, wife, ER and former Hospice nurse. Also a perfectionist at heart and realize there is no such thing in the profession. Best of luck. Stay alert and live your dreams. Willette from Alabama
Bless you for all of your hard work and compassion, the perfection attribute can work out to more of a curse than a blessing at times, but I am so glad you knew when it was time to make a major change. Hugs to you, from Michigan 😊
I had been a nurse for 21 years and was already completely overwhelmed and burnt out when Covid came along. It didn't take much for me to decide to quit. Good on you for not forcing yourself to continue in a ridiculously stressful and unappreciated (by employers) job. I'm impressed with what you've done with the bus and wish you the best in your journey!!
I was on the bad side of Covid. I almost didn’t make it. My family and I are incredibly indebted to nurses like you for helping save my life. Believe me when I say we love❤ nurses!!!!!!
I’m so impressed. With everything. Obviously, your new found building skills….but also, your courage. It takes such bravery to realize you have emotionally stalled and must make huge changes. I moved to a different country in my 30s. People don’t realize how much of your inner strength comes into play for major life changes. I congratulate you on recognizing your need, and meeting it. And here you are, you can actually say you’re healed. Fantastic story!!! (And i loooove Poppy!)
Yo Liv, Love the fact that you were brave enough to make a lifestyle change within 48 hours lol Your bus is amazing. You definitely did not overdo it on tech. Just enough to be totally comfortable. Beautiful rig. Congrats
You should do a tutorial on how you made that couch cushion. I love, love, love it! Love the whole bus tour actually.
An awesome decision to put yourself first. Am a retired ER nurse. Congratulations
the bus, the puppies, and the nurse are all simply adorable. great job doing it yourself!
Love the idea of keeping the ceiling. Love everything you have accomplished. I'm one who needs a showerhead and toilet even if a drain in floor and showerhead setup.
No building experience other than IKEA? Mind blown. She did such a great job! I absolutely love the cane webbing on the door panels and hope to incorporate similar one day.
I am a nurse. You make this look so simple. Please post more. You are amazing!
Very nice rig.
Find a lock shop. Ask them about the door lock.
They will put a smile on your face.
Love how the bus is setup and decorated. Being able to live on the road with your two cute doggos seems like a dream.
That truly is a perfect size home, not huge yet not too tiny. Very nicely done.
Perfect if you're 5'5".
@@alexander5207 I meant the length of the bus, not the height.
Millennials building Rvs that have been around for years!!! They’re a special breed!!
Well done Liv, you are truly an inspiration, having the courage to make the change you needed in your life. Stay safe mate. Much love from Australia.😊
I love her energy with showing us her build, so often I see these bus/van tours and the owners couldn't seem more bored or disinterested if they tried. What a lovely little home Liv! Thanks for sharing
I admire your commitment to following your dream and how you accomplished your goals. I sold everything once and moved myself and my cat into a 20 foot RV and just traveled. It was so freeing.
If you drill extra holes and put in some extra neodymium magnets in your knife rack it will hold all your knives better.
Love, love, love! Love her story (sorry to hear re the burn out though)...love how she did things....love the aesthetic....love that both she and her doggos and Poppy have so much personality...and I love that it wasn't a budget-breaker build. Thank you for sharing!
Liv, good on you for being mindful and realizing you were in trouble mentally and physically. I’m a Retired RN and totally relate to your former life and feeling the burnout. I watched my friends go through he££ working through those years because I was already retired, and it broke my heart. You’re such a cool chick and a handy one to make yourself and your puppers such an incredible little cozy home! Good on you for going for it. You won’t regret being your authentic self! Big love from Canada! ❤❤❤
Lovely space -- nice job on the build. Cute pups!
You did a really great job! I love the colors & the cedar wood. You and your two buddies look sooo happy!! Thanks for being an inspiration to others!
And I appreciate her leaving the ceiling as is (hope it's insulated!) It provides a clean look, and the ceiling doesn't appear as low as ceilings that are also cedar as in many other builds.
What a beautiful soul.....and an amazing home on wheels, fantastic job. TFS
Good for you. Proud of your achievement.
I see this different than most of the people that left a comment. I love the work that you did on the rv, But I see something better than the rv. Your confidence to take a risk and follow your dreams. Good for you! A very small percentage of people can do something different than the majority of us. You did it , Congratulations. You have nailed it. Dream big. You have already proven that you can and will achieve your dreams. Just remember to challenge yourself and Dream big.
Beautiful Bus/Home!!!! Perfect for you and the pups! Amazing work! Love from SC, Jane ❤ LOVE the couch cushion and the cabinets are gorgeous!
What a great build!!! What a fun young lady , now this is a person that I could hang out with , easy going ,cute , smart ,and great taste in decorating... well done, be safe and happy trails ...love your two kids they're beautiful 👍👍
It's so amazing how much of the work you did yourself! It's so beautiful and unique. LOVE your story and I am so glad you did what was best for you!
Good job , she has a much stronger home than any of the RV junk for sale out there today
You have a wonderful grand-dad to encourage you to start this journey. Your home is amazing and you did a great job on all your custom projects. All the colors work so well together.
what a wonderful way to overcome burn out. good for you for taking the plunge! Love your bus and all of your personal touches
Cozy tiny Skoolie home! You did a great job putting everything together so that it's warm and cozy plus reflects your happy personality. FYI the 'girl" bookend is actually a Resting Buddha! Enjoy traveling to many fun places in your Skoolie.
Very nice build! The cedar really becomes a nice accent against the white roof. Thanks for sharing your story with us, it took courage to admit you were burned out, more courage to do something healthy to make the change, and courage to share your story with strangers. I like your honesty and your ability to find amusement in your mistakes, like not priming the outside. I'm sure it was frustrating then, but to accept it and see the humor in it is a great thing. May you continue to grow and find the joy and blessings in your journey! Thanks for a great tour!
Fresh and natural. A pleasure to share this nice project. Thank you.
What a delightful young lady and your home is darling!!!
Nice job! Creative, functional and aesthetically appealing 👏
This bus is Awesome and Liv seems absolutely delightful. This was great to watch.
Great job on your bus Liv
What a beautiful bus. It looks like a very comfortable and inviting mini home.
I really enjoyed this tour. Am I the only one who just wanted to hug the cute dogs?
I’m so glad you were able to overcome your burnout and depression in such a positive way. I don’t love the electrical setup or the security so I hope you get that upgraded at some point, but otherwise a nicely designed interior. I could live in a bus this size.
I love this build. It’s flowing and efficient and clean. Not cluttered. My husband and I are just now looking into pursuing this for our retirement. We love to local camp with a few small trips in the summer and we really want to go this route
So glad you liked it! Maybe we'll be seeing you and your husband down the road! 🤗
What a lovely young woman. Love your bus. You have everything you need. Your doggies are cute too.
Happy trails and stay safe
yay Liv!! Congrats on being featured!
Admire gutsy people!
This is a 'chapter' in life that WILL be fondly remembered.
Safe travels!
Thanks!👍
I loved everything you created and your encouragement to go for it myself too
She is super cute, lovely personality and her bus home is very cozy and cute. I love it!
Very cute & elegant. I like how simple it is. Not over the top, but very functional. Great job! 💕
20:57 GREAT advice! Love your bus. Thanks for sharing. Thumbs up.
Nice build. F'ing up is part of the experience. What doesnt kill you, makes you stronger. As Ms.Frizzle would say, take your chances, make mistakes and get messy!
Love your home! You did a wonderful job putting it all together. Comfy and practical!
Love the bus. Great job. Your serene positive energy might inspire me to quit my job! Good for you congratulations for following your heart.
Thoroughly enjoyed your tour of your home and loved your lifestyle and it works for you so glad life has all worked out for you as it should Thank you for being so nice to show us your beautiful van
Amanda
Obsessed with this bus!!
Kudos to you! What a lovely build you have done here.I hope your life to continues to be full of adventures and happy times!!! Bravo!!!
You're talented and did a great job.
I'm thoroughly impressed how awesome that bus is, especially since she had never built anything before. It's amazing what you can accomplish just by putting your mind to it.
Love your bus and your puppy dogs and Thanks for your service as a nurse
Your bus is one of the nicest one I’ve seen. Clean lines without all the fuss. Very nice.
Great mods and great vibes. Thanks for sharing.
LOL- I was looking at the dog rubbing himself on the pillows and all the sudden POW OUT. Super cute and sweet young lady. Best of luck. Be safe.
Love that you have built a beautiful bus and a life.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. Your bus turned out great!!!
Very impressive for a first run of a project this size. I’m renovating a mini-bus for our dog business this year and then doing it again for a road trip to help save dogs in 2025. Love the video and thanks for sharing it!
Very inspiring! My goal when I retire in 6 years 💞
Good on you, thanks for sharing now I want one. I put it on my Wishlist.
You did an amazing job. I love the colors.
Wow, she just comes across as an incredible person, and I think she did an excellent job on her build. I wish her the best of luck!
5:03 I have that exact same drawer thing wedged into my makeshift nightstand.
Very thoughtful design. Great use of space.
Loved this! Thanks for sharing!
Great job on the cushions
She's living my dream! working on converting a handicap shuttle bus and using the lift to load my motorcycle.
One of the most beautiful designs I've seen for a small schoolie - the vibe is wonderful !
Very very nice... :)
Great story and good for you for sure! Bus looks great
Putting together IKEA furniture is the prerequisite to building a house so if you can put together IKEA furniture you can put together anything. ❤❤❤
And you did a wonderful job. Very different from others I watched. It totally works. Love sofa upholstery, backsplash, caning, storage Velcro, so many good ideas. Enjoy your home. It’s such a happy atmosphere.
Didn’t hear your story before I wrote. Totally understand your burnout. My eldest was an RN for almost a decade before she became a MD. She too has burned out. She keeps up her license and takes a out of corses to stay up to date but doesn’t know what she wants to do in the future. Right now she’s a 4th grade teachers assistant. You too will figure it all out. Good luck.
Love this beautiful bus!
Good voice, affect, delivery and spirit! Well shot and cut too.
Your bus is stunning! It's so light and airy looking and I just love your decor. Good for you for having the guts and desire to change your life around and to do what you did buying a bus and fixing it up and living the way that you want, I think it's awesome, it's not easy doing what you did but it's exciting all the same!!😊
Btw I absolutely love the color of your bus!❤
purchasing my bus this weekend and I'm so excited! this bus is a beautiful build! I'm very inspired. I tried to find her on instagram but her page doesn't seem to be active.
Love your bus! I bet you were a great nurse. I'm sure you will find your perfect niche when you are ready to go back. Best of luck to you!
For nurses who experience burnout and want to live a more nomadic lifestyle, I've seen a lot of other nurses accomplish this by becoming a traveling nurse, volunteer per diem at hospitals/clinics... be your own boss, have more control over where and how much you work and still get to travel and be a nurse, helping people, without the burnout! And this goes for many people in the medical field, not just nurses and everyone I've seen make this their lifestyle are all super happy, well-rounded individuals living life to the fullest! 😊
I'm a nurse for 35yr, travel agencies where always contacting me with offers ( phone,text,emails). I'm sure she's aware, alot of it has to due with the pandemic which is why I retired ealier than planned. It's is a great way to manage yourself as a business. I worked many years in my local level 1 trauma hospital, magnate certified, in critical care. I had burnout many times throughout the years but would have never had the guts to leave my security for this nomad lifestyle, kudos to her...
Great build, especially with such little research before starting it. Nice asthetics and quality work, too. Very impressive!
She is a very amazing person ❤️ 💖. She is so positive. Great 👍 video.
You are so beautiful, so spirited, so creative! Thank you for your inspiration!
Nice looking rig, looks cozy.
Very nice job on your bus! ...clean lines and well organized!!
Oh my goodness I LOVE Your Bus/Home ❤ I’d have to add a little bathroom/shower. I’m 60 with medical issues 😊 I love the layout. It looks so cozy!
Excellent bus build!! Dogs are awesome.....
Good for you.. What a gorgeous bus. You did a great job finishing up this ideal tiny home on wheels. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome build ! 😊
Great Job! You rock, lucy lady.
This was a great video. Thank you for your honesty and good luck with your next chapter.
So glad you loved this one as much as we do! Here is another short skoolie you may enjoy, ruclips.net/video/2jN9jhLMpRw/видео.html. :)
I can relate to you as I am also a Nurse ( PICU/Pedia Step down/ NICU) for 12 years and I got burnout and quit my job 2 months prior to the Worldwide Pandemic Lockdown. Goodluck to your future endeavors.
This is lovely and quaint to see! I love your taste, creativity, and the space you have created. I love the color of the bus, I can totally see your hard work on a TV show where a character lives there but it so satisfied and happy with life! Who knows, but I love what you have done here!!
The velcro for the bookend is such a cool idea!
I haven't got inside yet but the outside and color is fabulous! I will be back, I gotta watch full screen.
This is SOOOO darling, beautiful, & practical. ♥️
