"A Bus Named Billie" tells the story of a couple's transformation from a conventional life in San Diego to full-time nomadic living in a converted 2005 Chevy 3500 bus. The journey begins with their obsession with container homes and the desire to escape the high costs of San Diego.
Inspired by van life during a trip to Iceland, they embark on a project to turn an old tailgating bus into a mobile home. Despite numerous challenges, from mechanical issues to the Texas heat, they slowly transform the bus into a livable space, eventually naming it "Billie" after a relative.
Their adventures take them across the U.S. and Mexico, where they meet new friends, attend gatherings, and navigate the highs and lows of bus life, including the struggles of maintaining a mobile home and balancing work with travel. The article highlights the hardships, growth, and joy that come with living on the road, along with the sense of community that defines their journey.
