VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
This South African couple worked as crew on Yachts until they discovered bus life. Once getting a taste of home on the road in the US, they decided they couldn't return to their jobs. So now, Gordon and Che are exploring the country in their DIY rig until they have to return home!
Their adorable green bus has an 8" roof raise with a custom ladder leading up to the roof deck that overlooks the back deck made to haul their motorcycle. The interior is functional, with a large kitchen and a living room that converts into their sleeping space. Gordon also customized a TV that hides behind the couch when not in use, so cool!

Jimmy & Natalie getting a shout out for the shades. Nice!
I wish I could do this in my home.
How amazing that you foster dogs and spend time giving back to your community. So many animals suffering being homeless.
The Family Unit , Filmed during this Tour, shared with Us. The build. The courage. Everything. Beautiful.🙌🏽💎🥹☺️
Thank You All.🌸✨🦋
Kindly ❤️

“Extending an olive branch” I love it
First time seeing people from my country tiny living now I'm really inspired 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 I've been thinking about it for years
can you go through the process of building the reflectix curtain. i love the idea
This video is so heartwarming. As a former interior designer I can say your schoolie is verywelldone, with lots of thought to details. You have done a fantastic job. I cannot say how fantastic it is that ya'll have an altruistic nature. I am a freelance dog rescuer. So many more fosters and needed now. Animals are being set out to fend for themselves at the highest levels we have seen in over 40 years. Your work with there is so very important. Thanks for being such great examples of young people that are putting words into action.
Che and Gordon are two of the best people I have ever known. They are so conscientious and detail-oriented. They worked so hard on this build and it is a beautiful reflection of the quality and integrity that they put out into the world.
Thank you for your beautiful words, Brigette!
😁😁♥️🙏♥️
@@gordonandche8764what an amazing beautiful build. Really love the whole esthetic and love how you did the roof raise. Beautiful bus and beautiful couple! ♥️
CT to CT.❤@@gordonandche8764
The shouting out to Will Prowse... 👍 top notch move! Dude definitely needs more recognition for the knowledge he provides!
Great bus, thoughtful couple, proper use of adverbs. Luv it!
There is so much to see in the USA and so much diversification, enjoy.
45 years ago my dad had a skoolie that I loved playing in. It had bunk beds and a porta potty and a small kitchen. He used it for hunting. All my friends thought that was the craziest thing they’d ever heard of. It’s awesome to see how far skoolies have come today!
I saw this video & kept saying to myself, "WHERE have I seen her before???" I thought I was losing my mind until you explained where you are famous from!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED YOU on the yacht show!!!! BLESS YOUR HEARTS for the jobs you did dealing with such 'priviliged' people that weren't always the nicest to all!!! You both have some SERIOUS PATIENCE for that type of work!!!! Your tiny is just ADORABLE & is something that caught my eye for a single, older woman with just her fur babies now!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE how you foster fur babies & I'm waiting for that FIRST 'foster fail', 🐶😉💕 it WILL happen....there is NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!!! ✝️🐶💕🤗
THANK YOU for sharing your tiny home!!! 👍😍😇
What a small world!! We are ao glad you enjoyed our tour! Thank you for your kind words!! We appreciate you!!
I believe the foster fail is currently in play 😂
Beautiful bus home for Beautiful people. May God continue to Bless you and keep you safe!
Love in Christ, Renee
I admire and I am so grateful for your ministry. We certainly need more witnesses of God’ s love like you two. I pray God blesses your efforts🙏❤️
Absolutely love this bus! I love how you made the electric cabinet accessible and lifted, the concept for the eventual stowaway toilet, the hidden insulated curtains, the happy accident of lights in your wardrobe, the absolutely seamless roof raise corresponding to the counter height, the entry door with a window to see while driving, and your beautiful message to do good on your travels. Thank you so much for sharing
You're an amazing couple! Continue to spread the love of God through your travel endeavors! ❤🙏🏾
I have 2 agree with some of the comments that say u guys r so adorably cute. I luv ur doggie! He/she made me smile! U have done a superb job on ur build & in raising the roof. If I could do something like this, the roof would have 2 b high 2 fit my 6'4" son. Actually, I would have 2 have a bit more rm than that, wouldn't want him feeling like the roof was resting on his head. I would also have 2 have a tv & an indoor toilet/shower. Ya'll have a superb set-up! Excellent craftsmanship! If u all out grow it, 4 1 reason or another, please bring it 2 me. We would luv 2 live in it. 🙂🙂
I just love this . What they are doing is the most caring kind hearted thing a person could do . I thank them from the bottom of my heart 💜. May God Watch Over U Always.
Bravo for your fostering! We have been fostering for 17 years and it has been so important to us. As you stated, dogs in fostering homes give them time to learn and mature which allows successful adoptions. I think your goals are great and wish you the very best in all your goals and dreams!!
You both are so charming and giving. Good luck in all you do. Your bus is also lovely
Che and Gordon thank you for the tour of your beautiful home. Your outreach on all fronts in the community is inspirational. Your a lovely couple and wishing you many precious memories along your travels. 🙏
The best bust built . I love.
There was a lot of thought out into your bus Olive, I really enjoyed your video and I love your mission. Also Che looks a lot like the actress Kathryn Heigl, very pretty.
Y’all are just the cutest couple! Love what y’all are doing! Love your bus home! Dude is adorable ❤️❤️❤️
I love the pure intention within this bus!!! May you both see all the success you are dreaming of and more!!! This, my friends, is how an individual can change the world.
Hello! One of the Best one I've seen in a Bus Design 🤗
OMG! I a SHORT bus! I always thought the schoolies were just too much for me but a SHORT BUSSSS YAZZZZ!!! First time seeing one decked out! LOVE IT
So great to hear we have inspired you!! Skoolies are for any and everyone that want to do it! However they choose to!!
WOW I DID NOT THINK I COULD GET AS MUCH IN A SMALL BUS LIKE YOU DID. GREAT JOB! I am currently in the process of buying and converting a small or mid-size bus for ministry to help the homeless, widows and families in need. God bless both of you. 🙏🏽
What a beautiful mission! Good luck on your journey!! How incredible!!
Wonderful build ., we just completed our build so I’m Holding Thumbs that we can hit the toad soon !

THIS BUS IS SO COOL 😎
Living vicariously through all these nomad/ bus life/ box house etc lovely builds and people!

Such a beautiful couple! Great bus, name and it's meaning! You two have educated and inspired me! Thanks for sharing 💕🙏🏾!
I love the layout, and how you kept it so roomy! Wishing you many blessings! And wonderful adventures! 🙂
The perfect balance of light white wood with stained wood. Pulling the greenery in makes for a really soothing space.
Hopefully soon we'll have a van and be able to meet up somewhere along the way guys! Much love!
Yes!! Cannot wait!
How beautiful and creative! Great job guys!!
So beautiful! One of my favorites!

Beautiful build ❤️
Amazing transformation. It pays to have a talent like these 2 have. Kudos👍
WOW..!!! Living your dream life in a VERY AWESOME VAN. Love every bit of it. Alles van die BESTE.. ♥
I'm SO INSPIRED by y'all!! I love the name and concept of your bus. I went to college to become a music therapist for the elderly and children with trauma/learning differences. I'm trying to convince my husband to hel0 me build a skoolie...let's just say it's mire my dream than his. I'm tired of the brick and morter and all of the hassles that brings. I'd love to rent a skoolie and see if he'd like to do it after the experience. I'd also love to take our grandchildren and travel! That would be a dream come true!! Praying for safe travels for both of you in your beautiful olive branch bus. 🚌 🙏🏼 ❤️
We are so grateful that you feel inspired! Keep holding onto that dream!! And let us know if you ever have any questions!
What a wonderful lifestyle. Cruising and land travel in-your beautiful home. Enjoy kids. Wish I were young again.
❤ Olive is stunning❣️
You guys picked such a beautiful name with the amazing meaning. I wish more people developed a passion like this. Thank you for sharing your home with us, it has been one of my favorite set ups yet. With me and my daughter, this would be a great set up. Plus we want to get a dog and be able to travel and help others throughout the country with getting DV survivors ready to go back into community. I am a stylist and this is my dream.
Its an expensive “passion” that most people can’t afford to do.
@@Jazzyjayyy that it can be but the lil things don't cost anything to do and we can all start with that. 😍
Beautiful couple and beautiful bus.safe través.

The reflectix pull-up shades are brilliant!
I like the disappearing toilet that pulls out into water closet. You have many fun and fine features I will borrow.
Beautiful. Stay healthy and happy ,
Wow. Great inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

Really love your dedication to charity or “paying it forward” as well as fostering dogs helping them along towards their forever homes. Beautiful build guys interested to see how the roof raise was done. I’ll be checking that out, too! Enjoy your journey.
I absolutely love your home!!! Warm, cozy and very zen and your dining area is the best part to me☺️👍🌻
This is very nice.. I love the bed conversion 🙏👍
First of all I have to say U2 are absolutely adorable together! I love love your Skooly and what you’ve done with it. I like the way you raised the roof. I love the way you are going to have the Loo. I think that’s so brilliant! I really really love what you’re doing. You too are the beacons for our future. We definitely need more like you two. Thank you for your tour. And happy trails or for you I guess happy trails with tails! Lol. Cheers from out in California

Beautiful!, The Bus and your Testimony..

Beautiful styled bus & functional. I really like this 😃

Very pretty!
I love your home! Your colors are my favorite! The best I've ever seen! I'd fit very well in this schoolie! 😊😂
What a well thought build.. Love the living room especially.
beautiful people! bus very nice, too.
Beautiful bus!!! Congratulations!
I totally love your bus
I've been thinking about doing some blinds similar, but with insulation and a wood frame. So it can insulate the walls and the windows when wanted. That way I don't have extra panels to hide. It's colder in Montana, and my windows are huge, so I don't want to cover them permanently or leave them open constantly. This would be a good compromise.
Great to hear you shout out to Will Prowse! He's so intelligent!
Love your intentions of charity ❤
Ok I have finally found my favorite bus build! This was beautifully done and I love the layout having the business end all tidy and neat in the front like that. I love the couch and table being in the back. I hope you guys don’t mind being copied a bit 😉
What lovely words! Thank you so much! Please ask whatever questions you have! Of course we don’t mind being copied!
