For many, it's a dream to travel the world and explore different lands and cultures.
Much like this couple who turned an old school bus into a home on wheels to travel 12,000 miles from Alaska all the way to Argentina. They planned to go from the top of North America to the bottom of South America travelling along The Pan Am highway which is the longest road able to be travelled by vehicle. All in the comforts of their cute bus turned into a tiny house on wheels. Shop Tiny Homes On the Pan Am highway, travellers go through 14 countries as following; Canada, the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile and finally Argentina. To make it to the very tip of each end of the continents, it would be a 30,000-mile road, which is a lot of miles to travel. Many people have set out to do this and plenty of them accomplish it, even by bike which is pretty impressive. Although it could still cost quite a lot of money if you had to pay for hotels throughout the journey. That's why this couple decided to buy an older school bus and transform it into a beautiful home for themselves.
Felix and Selima who is called Mogli as a nickname, are originally from Germany.
When they found each other, they realized that they both loved to travel and do art so they decided to buy a school bus and renovate it to travel around North and South America. They packed up their smaller apartment in Berlin and flew over to the US with their dog Rudy in tow to start their journey. The couple bought their school bus online through a website that can deliver it anywhere you need. They ended up getting the longest bus they could find so they could have the most space and they were the first people from the site to buy a bus without seeing it first, which they don't recommend, but it seemed to work out fine for them. They transformed their bus into a beautiful home with a very cozy and stylish design. As you can see in the video, the couple removed all of the seats that once occupied the entire length of the bus, which used to transport up to 78 kids at a time. They installed flooring and added in tiny house furniture that functions really well in the space.
The interior of this tiny bus house on wheels looks amazing and it even has a fully equipped kitchen in it with a full-sized stove.
