All Aboard a Mobile Tea House

"Finding Communi-Tea: Will This Couple Park the Bus?" Lost in the wilds of L.A., Guisepi discovered the magic of spontaneous gatherings while cooking dinner in the back of his pickup truck on Hollywood Boulevard. He now lives aboard his mobile tea house, a converted school bus he shares with his partner Ally. But after six years on the road together, the tea bus feels more like a home to him than her. Will they consider putting up roots together for a home base, or is the call of the road too great?

Beautifully done, both the Tea Bus, and Independent Lens, on their series, American Nomads.
I love it...

[@carlawalker4671]

What a beautiful way to share and grow unity in our communities. I am certain there is lots of compromise. My teenage son would be with me and it is something that I think of often. Your home is beautiful to me, because of the souls you've shared it with.

[@GingerAndZest]

Good luck G, A, and EL. Though I never was able to cross paths w your beautiful spirit, I have followed your journey and generosity in sharing tea and your time, yourself :)

[@horseenthusiast9903]

This reminded me of my mom; she's always wanted a little bus house like that.

[@kishamack-allen1980]

Enjoyed your video. Where did u find your school bus?, it looks awesome especially in a different color than yellow. I like it because it looks strong and it's widen than most vans. I hooked it up nicely. Safe travels
