We Turned An American School Bus Into A Hostel On Wheels

ADVERTISEMENT

We’re Val and Tim, the co-founders of The Nomads Bus. Together with our kid, our dog and guests, we’re exploring Europe. 

After a summer in Spain and a winter in Austria, we’re now driving through Norway. We have six beds for guests, a wood stove to keep us warm in winter, an amazing rooftop deck and all the amenities you could possibly wish for.

Welcome inside!

The living room, you can also turn this into a couch. The construction is the same on both sides. We can also make one long table out of it or a big bed

The kitchen where Val cooks breakfast and dinner for the guests

It might look small but it’s the best kitchen I ever had

Enamel is the best thing ever, definitely on a skoolie!

This is amazing, as good as a winnebago! Although one thing that puzzles me is where do you get a school bus so big!?!

Bunnies are better!!

I notice there are six bunkbeds and there are six children in my family so this would be the perfect thing for us. Im going to talk to my parents about buying a school bus(Im only a tiny bit kidding) because i know they'd love it. What a great idea this is though

This is amazing, not to mention very smart. I'd love to travel anywhere I could manage with a bus like this.
