We turned a school bus into a hostel on wheels - The Nomads Bus
Hi everyone,
I know the tag introduceyourself probably is best used when you just start out on this platform, but we just finished this video and for me, there is no better way to introduce ourselves and our project to the Steemit community than watching this video. I really hope you like it, we have put a lot of work into it.
Here is a short summary of the video, but the video explains everything so much better, plus you get to see a lot of great images of one the most beautiful countries in the world!
For 3 years we, as a family with a 3 year old, have been living in a American school bus, one that we converted into a hostel on wheels. We take guests from all over the world to the most beautiful places in Europe (at the moment mainly Norway) and experience unforgettable road trips together. The guests become a part of our family for a brief moment in time and some stay friends forever.
Life on the road has been very interesting to say the least and even though we had more than our fair share of bus breakdowns, it can never compare to all the unforgettable moments we experienced thanks to our house on wheels. It’s been 100% worth it to keep going and conquer the many challenges that have crossed our path. We want to share this beautiful video with you so you can the potential our hostel on wheels has. The freedom to be able to choose a new backyard every day, to sleep in a comfortable bed no matter where you go, to meet like-minded people and to offer our three year old daughter the opportunity to discover the world and herself. Sometimes it might look like a fairytale, it is because of years and years of perseverance that we are where we are at this moment and it's time to focus on all the beauty and positive things the bus has brought us, brings us and will bring us in the next years.
A million thanks to our friend Jitze Jaap Osinga who created the film.

It's a great and interesting idea of a mobile hostel. Living on road, traveling to different places while meeting new people on the way and earning and making friends ...that's simply awesome.

What a great video and awesome idea for the bus and your travels! Thanks for sharing this post!!😎
Thank you very much!
What an amazing idea for a lifestyle, while bringing up a little one.
Have you had other family's on the bus before?
Do you only travel during the European summer?
We have had a couple of families on the bus and one has booked for this summer as well :)
We travel all year round and this winter we did a part in Austria and in Norway.
Cheers
"We don’t like to go places where the tourists go" - the best way to approach traveling. Love your lifestyle and video!
Watched the entire video , loved it and followed. Norway looks beautiful but also cold, too cold for me to live. Haha
Thanks! I love cold, so for me it is a good fit, but I must add that Norway isn't as cold as you might think. Summers are really nice here :)
Yes I'll visit only in the summer haha
I love this!!! Very inspiring and I can really relate to how you guys are as my wife and I live a pretty nomadic life. We would love join you to just help out!!
Ha, lovely, just let us know when you are around!
Incredible!!! what you are doing is simply incredible! I mean it is just amazing how you are able to transform the van. I sure will not pass on the opportunity to ride in one.
Thanks!!
This sounds like a great adventure, which is actually your life now. You are a very brave family, but most of all you set a great example for the little one! Good luck. Following @toocurious
Hey guys! That sounds awesome! I'd love to jump on your 'hostelonwheels' during my travels!! Following @toocurious to keep posted!!
Feel free to check out my blog, I'm the backpackingchef and would love to cook for you all on your bus some time!!
Hi, I just read a bit through your blogs and this is actually the way we started out, we traveled the world for two years on a very tiny budget. If you are ever in the neighborhood you are more than welcome to stop by :)
That's good to hear!! I'm sure we'll cross paths sooner or later!! I look forward to it!
