Cooling the Bus

Now that the weather has finally started turning a little cooler (not fast enough! Texas just can’t seem to let go of summer), I thought I’d talk a little bit about our trials and tribulations regarding keeping the bus not…ass hot. It’s not quite as a rage inducing problem as…

Voting on the Road

This election cycle is insane. Just nuts. Mike and I really felt the need to vote. Mike love/hates politics. He ran for a low level office years ago and, in general, it’s something that he pays a lot of attention to. I don’t think that either of us have missed…

We get asked a lot about the cost of doing a conversion. Friends, family members, people at gas stations, all over the place and it was one of my biggest concerns going into the conversion. Luckily, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I mean, we could…

Doing a Master’s Degree as a “Digital Nomad”

Mike and I were talking about our Internet woes and he asked me if we were considered digital nomads. I had never heard of the term but it’s really just about what it sounds like. Digital nomads are people who make their living via telecommunications (generally the Internet) and can…

The Internet Situation

When Mike and I planned (to the best of our abilities) for the things that we thought would be the most difficult aspects of living in the bus we were mainly anticipating an issue with electricity. We had originally planned to go with solar straight out the gate until we…
