  • Hey guys!
    The long overdue tour we have been promising is finally here. We have been busy since the completion of our bus build.... you know, getting used to being full-time on the road. It has been an adventure for sure! We hope this video gives us a bit of motivation and somewhat of a new chapter to begin filming our adventures again. The best way for you guys to see more of us is to share, like, subscribe. The more we see people loving this stuff, the more motivation we will have to continue creating content.
    We are thrilled to give you this less-than-perfect, armature-edited bus tour. As you know from our previous videos... we love to make fun of ourselves. So stick around until the end to see some cringe-worthy bloopers!
    P.S. if you want to know any of the products we used in our build, how we did something, literally anything... JUST ASK BELOW!
    Enjoy!
    Love, Steph, Luke, Silas & Baby June

    As long as we have been together we have lived in small spaces. After having kids and moving into a larger house, we found ourselves filling it with things we thought would make us happy. Soon enough we found the opposite to be true! We were miserable and overwhelmed! So we decided to sell everything, buy a school bus, and travel the country. Join Luke, Steph, Silas and baby June on our weekly-ish adventures!

    What a great job, I love all the smart storages and ideas that went into it. I won't lie I thought width would be a major issue but you guys did it amazingly! What a huge project and I'm glad it came out to your expectations!!!!! Enjoy your trips and adventures or rather... Your Original Adventures. 🥳

    @ismaeldantas2837 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I don't think you know how much I admire all the work you all putted into the bus and all the things that have gone through your head to move to a nomadic life. I'm still young, a boy of just 19 years old, whose dream has always been to have a freer life outside the shackles of big cities and fixed locations. You have no idea of ​​the smile I opened when Luke spoke on his channel about this turn in life that he and the whole family would take, because, in addition to admiring him as a very nice human being like he is, I felt my heart get cozy knowing that I wasn't alone in this dream. I live in Brazil, in the interior of a state called Ceará (consider visiting, it is a place with a unique vegetation in the world called caatinga), in the city of Tianguá and this whole issue of living on wheels has never been well seen and much less popular. You lit the flame that was in me to kick start and not be shy about what society thinks or doesn't think about it and in the near future try this lifestyle I've always wanted. I've been following this channel since the disassembly and assembly of your house and I've been loving it! I hope to one day meet you guys on the road and just thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done. You are an inspiration and I would like you all to know that. A huge hug from Brazil to this wonderful family!

      Hi Ismael!! Wow. It makes us so happy to hear you’ve been inspired! If we have learned anything since having children and choosing this lifestyle is that the less you plan and the less you try to make everyone else around you happy, then the more happy YOU will be. Be strong! Choose happiness. And follow your dreams friend ☺️

    You can always clear out one side of the bus and make bunk beds for the kids in the future for both to have their own private space. If you decide to stick with bus life a little longer. Home schooling and being able to see places in our country that would match up with what the kids name learning about. Your is so cute. Have fun and stay safe to.

    Great bus build. Beautiful family 😻. You guys can easily stay living in the bus forever 🙂. One child can stay sleeping under the adult bed and the other can sleep out on the couch. If you have a 3rd child, they can join the child under the adult bed. If you have a 4th child, hang a hammock somewhere in the bus. If your family continues to grow, get a bigger bus. Wonderful life❤️

    Love the build! Just finishing up with ours & we have two kids. A just turned 2 year old & a 9 month old. The question I’ve been asking myself a lot lately is how are the kids gunna like it and how am I as a sahm going to do being in the bus with the kids. When we started the build we only had our boy and now that we have two Im a little nervous. Still so excited about bus life and watching videos of people doing it with small kids makes me so happy. Just wondering the real life struggles you face with two toddlers.
