What do you get when you combine an old school bus, a woman with no previous building experience or mechanical knowledge, and a very independent, headstrong rescue pup with no prior training?
A recipe for disaster? Or a fabulous fun-filled adventure?
This is the story of my dream to live full time on the road and the journey to make it happen.
I wanted to start this blog as a record of that journey.
An honest record. The downs as well as the ups. The failures as well as the successes.
If you’re looking for a website full of instagram-worthy drone shots, bikini-clad girls in #vanlife poses or superbly-produced cinematic videos with epic soundtracks then you’re in the wrong place.
But if you are curious to know whether a single chick in her forties, with bugger all knowledge of how diesel engines work (or any engines for that matter!) and no building experience whatsoever, can successfully turn an old bus into a comfortable home and live happily on the road while still making a living as an artist,
then stick around and we’ll find out together!

Framing the rest of my kitchen
It has been so hot this past month! It makes working outside on the bus extremely challenging. But I managed to get some more done this week. I've been working on building the rest of my kitchen. The passenger side is pretty much done (except for a pantry door) and...
