We are now living in our skoolie!
We will be posting all things related to our conversion, adjustments and our experiences as new bus dwellers.
Feel free to look around and give us a follow at TheRoadWeWander on Instagram & Facebook!

Happy Thanksgiving! We appreciate all of support and love you all share! Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday weekend βπ»β€οΈπ

Now we can have drinking water in the convenience of our home on wheels!
Hella gratitude for these little projects that bring so much knowledge into our space. Information is available to us like never before. With some deep research and picking the minds of helpful individuals, opportunities to execute our dreams opens up!
Are their any projects that you've done or planning to do that seem out of reach?
Well, hopefully our videos can give you that inspiration to start them! Making mistakes are apart of the process, but you have all the information you might need at your fingertips β¨οΈ

Yep, the cold showers are getting pretty old since PA is growing colder with each day. π
This video does not quite show the difficulty of this project, and Joey has handled the task so phenomenally. He makes it look a lot easier than it is! π
We still have a few more steps until it is fully-functional and complete. We take our time to keep our safety standards high, since it is running on propane.
Anyway, enjoy this short little video and thank you all for following our journey!

We are very much still at the beginning of our bus life journey, being about one month in. We feel that we've grown immensely through this constantly adapting way of life. There is still so much to learn and go through.
This decision was the best decision we ever made π

After the 3 most devastating nights of our lives, our Momo is home and safe π₯² from spotting him under a pallet of hay and unloading almost all of it at 1 am, to two, all night searches freezing in the woods with a thermal imaging camera and a flash light . Every heart ache and tear had proved to be worth it. Our baby boy is safe and healthy and we are eternally grateful for everyone that helped us along this excruciating journey. We would have never stopped searching for you Momo. Our little family is complete again βπ»β€οΈπ±

With our new water heater on the way to installment, we needed a solution for our excessive plugs. We could only use one utility at a time and all those wires were hard on the eyes. With some knowledgeable advice from people we know, to doing basic research, we are able to call this challenge a success. We are really happy with this new gadget, which definitely makes life more convenient for us.
Stay tuned for our next challenge, we must cut a big hole in the side of the bus for our water heater π³
Wish us luck!
To infinity and beyond π
I could not imagine a life without you by my side.
Together, all my dreams are within reach.
Here's to you and this beautiful life we share π©·

Thanks to the pops for coming on this hike and taking these photos!

A year ago, we didn't know exactly when the bus would be completed and/or liveable.
We just decided to take any free time we had and dedicated it to this dream.
It's funny, with all the work put into this, it is still surreal to me that we live on a home on wheels.
I never would have thought I'd be here today.
This reminds me of a philosophical quote that I hold close to me, which is,
"Set the heart upon the work, but never it's reward."
I genuinely enjoyed all the work we put into this bus, and to call it home is an added benefit ππ©·

Priming our skoolie was great practice so that can ace the real color! π
To see our home in all white is a great milestone, that classic school bus color is now nothing but a memory. We are beyond excited to showcase our color in the upcoming weeks π π¨
Meanwhile, stay tuned for all things skoolie life until phase three of painting the bus!π

We've been blessed with beautiful fall days to begin the exterior paint of our bus! Our next step is Primer π

β¨οΈπ§How The Water Process Works!π§β¨οΈ
We are working on minimizing our water consumption so we can extend the life of the water tank. That will be a lifesaver when we meet secluded destinations.
Also, our cold showers energize us quite a bit. We've learned it's best to take them midday, aka the warmest part of the day.
Overall, this process us teaching us how sacred and valuable water is. It used to come to us so freely, without second thought but now we must use it with humility.
Thanks for watching π»ππΏβοΈ

Shifting just a few feet, but it feels like a whole new world for us and these kitties πΎβ¨οΈ
We've been existing on quite a tilt since we moved in, so we wanted to level out better π Watch as our skoolie's tiniest adventure becomes a big moment of discovery for the cats ππΏ

Suncatchers were a little additional piece that made our tiny space into a tiny home β¨οΈ
Although we still have many projects to do for our build, these little extras provide a peaceful flare.
The cats absolutely love the prismic reflections too!
Stay tuned, follow us to see more of our conversion process and all the peaceful vibes that come from bus life π

I was a tad nervous about how the bus would suit the cats. There was definitely an adjustment period, but so far, they love it!

Happy Friday ! π
Our transition to bus life required much purging in order to make the most out of a small space. Making it so every item owned was serving a purpose towards our daily life and goals. There is actually a huge philosophy dedicated to this practices, due to the powerful impact it can have on the brain. It is commonly referred to as Minimalism.
β
We wanted to do more than just show our journey, but explore different subjects relating to our nomadic life, on why this way of life is so pleasing. To inspire and spark thought, whether nomadic or not, that could benefit individuals from all walks of life.
β
Here is a short little article on how this practice can be impactful. If you're into philosophy or spirituality, then this would be a great little read for you.
