The couple who lives on a school bus in the United States
The couple met while working at a gym. After a few years of dating, they decided to get married and started their own business, but the company did not bring them the happiness they were expecting, so they decided they needed a change.
Initially they thought about a simple vacation to get out of their routine and they traveled to Europe. Although the couple returned to USA Much more relaxed and content, they realized that they did not want a routine life and made some drastic decisions.

Some time later the opportunity came to buy what would be his new home: a school bus that they were sure they could convert into a space to live and travel. Just as if it were a traditional home, they had to invest a lot of money and several months in the remodeling.

They also covered some windows to gain privacy, in addition to reducing the amount of heat or cold that would enter the room. bus. They later began purchasing some appliances such as a stove with an oven, as well as a small refrigerator powered by solar energy and propane.

The couple took advantage of all the spaces in the best way they could, so in the back, in the area where their bedroom is, they used the area where the engine is located to create a reading corner. The bus also has its own bathroom with shower, a compost toilet and a wash.
Something they had to take into account is that Tawny has two children from her previous relationship, so they also looked for a way to make space for them and set up a couple of chairs to sleep in. A peculiar and unique place in its trailer It is the roof, where they can sunbathe or see the stars, although the place is shared with six solar panels that help provide energy for some of the appliances.

Now the couple has the opportunity to travel wherever they want in their original trailer and they continue to generate content on the internet and also through the publication of a book called “Since we wake up” or “Since we woke up”, in which they talk about the life lessons they have learned and applied.
