Solo Female - Freedom Found in a DIY Short School Bus

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!

I must have watched this video 10 times and then I did it, did it, did it! I bought my dream Skoolie! I hope to meet her and other rad chicks on the road soon!

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!

I’m in love with this woman and her spirit.

[matthewbonner]

Impressive !
Beautiful lady, especially NO tattoos, refreshing.

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 so it all has that farmhouse/ boho chic vibe that is so cute & cozy. Great build out!

[lushgreenbean]

You’re living my dream life. A piece of land, a farm house, a tiny house and a van! Solid security and beautiful life!❤

[melodiecotton]

"I wouldn't recommend driving and swinging in this at the same time." LOL!

[lorihutton]

My first and only time ever seeing this lady. I will never meet her but please no, I pray she never let's anyone of anything dull her shine. Beautiful, bright, peaceful female. I just love her and her doggies ( 4 legged babies). Enjoy and take care of your self because its a wonderful self. Peace from Tennessee

That screen was in the trash? Omg what a sin. It is gorgeous. I love it. Great that you saved it. Your bus has everything you need and nothing you don't. It is beautiful. You have the perfect life.

[noemisolano]

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.

[Nancy-mzeh]

I rarely comment but I just love her bus and her attitude! The bus really feels homey.

[joelovejoy]

Good to see a real one come through once in a while! I think so many of these videos show people with their brand new builds that they’ve barely used! But she’s legit! Keep on driving!

[Bviews]

The metal lockers were a great idea for no hassle storage.👍

[BlissfulDee]

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!

[ablokeandablue]

Very cool bus and a marvelous young lady with Heelers!!! 🐶❤️. I was at the Skooliepalooza this year and met quite a few very interesting and like minded folk. I’ve been full timing in my tiny 10’ teardrop with my blue heeler for the last 2 years and don’t think I’ll ever go back to living in a traditional house.

[anitavonderheid]

I am 78 and travel in a 23 ft. motorhome, part of the year and love it.

[karminaluna]

I really resonate with her saying that she's so much more comfortable and feeling safe out of the city, living life in a more natural way (as I understood)... it tastes like freedom to me.

[emadd]

haha, love it. she doesn't have a passenger seat. get the hint buddy 🙂. how cool is this lady, she is rally living her life.

[CuriousHumbleMarie]

What a cozy, pretty, and smart home. Love the basket, wood, wire, and metal materials for organizers (no plastic!) Kari you ought to have a YT channel showcasing your life, travel, and farm, tiny home, and bus projects!

[Lina-hloj]

She has the coolest attitude ever. Great job.
