Sad when she said "not always romantic, fun you have people disrespecting your vehicle cause they think you are a bum, a vagrant or whatever." People should not be judgemental and assume the worst. People should be respectful and understand why an individual or a couple or a family live on buses or tiny homes. Since the pandemic, many people have moved towards tiny living to have less financial stress. Now in 2022, with apartment rents skyrocketing and mortgages going up along with everything else, people are moving into skoolies, vans, or tiny homes to survive financially. One day I too want to move into a tiny home on wheels. Julie I have respect for you and your vehicle. You did an amazing job creating your own tiny home on your bus. Know that you are not struggling financially to pay rising apartment rents, rising electric bills, etc. You did an awesome job,thank you for sharing! 💖

Such a lovely home. It seems so cozy. You did a fantastic job. Don't let anyone give you a hard time. Lots of time people are just jealous.

In my life I've had neighbors with beautiful homes, jobs, families, etc. etc. I'd take her as a neighbor any day. I say that because I had to relocate after a fire, in Santa Cruz. I ended up living in a number of places, most notably near a bunch of college kids that had RV's, busses, vans, etc. Best neighbors I had in years. I'm >65. They appreciated their living quarters, like Kat does. I bet she would make a great neighbor. I'll leave it at that, but it's been a tough few years now... and I'm understanding who the 'real people' are around me.

So much respect for her. She has done an amazing job on that home. WOW I'm so impressed.

I wish I knew about Skoolie life when I was younger and my kids where home. Being a single mom I struggled a lot to keep a roof over our heads and food in our bellys. While working 2 jobs the whole time. If I knew about skoolie life I would have done it in a heartbeat, when my kids were younger. We could of had so much more quality time together and able to travel to see the country. Me and my kids love to travel and camp. This would have been a wonderful life for us. My kids are now grown and on their own. I'm getting older and ready to retire. Now I'm getting ready to start my own adventure in a short skoolie. I don't need a big bus now its just me and maybe my kids from time to time for a vacation trip... I think this Mom is doing the right thing living on a school bus with her son. What wonderful memories they will make. So much less stress not having to worry about rent or where your going to live. No one can take her home away from her and her son she owns her home now. This life style has to be freeing for her and the stress level must be way down, she can now breath not worrying so much. My hat is off to her, I wish her and her children all the best. I think this mom is smart to live on a school bus with her son it make a lot of sense to me....

I'm glad she knows what's right for her. I have seen people living in school buses in my town. It's not the elegant lifestyle some youtubers make it out to be, but what else can they do when a house on a street is financially impossible? Who wants to put all their money into rent? Not me, but I do.

Plenty of character and love in this build... I dig it !

Kat did an excellent job with this Skoolie - it has so much charm and character. It has soul :)

i'm obsessed with this "the longer you look at it the more interesting it gets" kinda decor, absolutely love her home!!

I love it when she said the bus is "me". I think the way she has customized the small space to suit her needs and desires is yet another example of why alternative living gives one a real independence more than that of buying an apartment and paying for a mortgage for years etc. This mobile home is also green - a big thumbs up to her brother in the solar sector. As to judging Kat, well yes they should, she should get five stars out of five, because the future of our planet should be greener, more diverse and mindful of who and where we are. When I think of all those millions cooped up in apartments and depressed over bills which haunt them until their last days - the life in small and alternative spaces is really and truly a blessing. So Kat you have my vote, and I by the way loved all the working. Look at the repurpose of the IKEA furniture. Daily I see so much waste. People have lost the skills of their forebears and it has led to more waste and pollution. Yes the future needs to be alternative.

You did a wonderful job on ur bus conversion. I could live in it very easily with what youve done with it. I love how you did the kitchen and the sinks are really cool! Ive never seen sinks like those before. Be very proud. Thank you for sharing your home Be safe, stay well, and God bless

Great job sister , just love it ....you should be so so proud ..much love and peace on your journey from Kat ....in Australia

Imagine how beautiful the memories and experiences of having your 2 young kids with you on the road. It would be stressful at times, but you’d never forget those days road tripping and living in the bus with mom. You’d never be able to top that love.

Beautifully converted

You are a beautiful person. There are many people in the world who have a lovely soul just like you. Be proud of who you are. Good wishes from Dublin Ireland. ☺️

Superb! That was such a treat, to do a virtual bus tour. I love the former liquor shelf and all the artwork. All of it, really. Thanks 👍💙💚💜

I love the fact that your bus is so artistically designed......without much effort.....just ideas and ideas that work. It reminds me of the first time I went to Saugerties and was excited to explore that town. You have so many unique ideas (and thank goodness), didn't show every nook and cranny of your home and where everything is kept and located. It's like I just got a tour of a vintage mobile museum. Nevermind what random folk think about how you're happily (contently) living...as they're usually the types to ***easily exercise poor judgment (amongst other things)

Pretty amazing bus 🚌 conversion. It meets her expectations, which is most important.

So tempted to convert a skoolie or van for the extra room. Currently boondocking out of the back of my little suv, definitely appreciate the gas mileage it gets though haha

Your amazeing I love this we live in an 88 mobile home

You are amazing and you have much to be proud of. It is a wonderful cozy place and you did a beautiful job!

Such a beautiful conversion

I love your bus conversion! It’s the way you want it, and not the cookie cutter bus conversions I’ve viewed! Be different and love who you are! You’re creative and strong!

Wow! What a cool home and even cooler woman! I see so much of her personality in her home....love all the eclectic little touches. Happy trails!!

what an absolutely brilliant home! beautiful!

That's by far the most beautiful conversion I've seen

Love the build perfection 🥰

I absolutely LOVE your aisle and how that folds down!!! Heck yeah!

What a stunning conversion.

Incredibly beautiful van. Love it. ❤

Well done, congradulations, great hearing option and the solar is fantastic. Have a great adventure.

its such a pretty bus, its nicely decorated !!

I love it! So eclectic and welcoming. I have to wonder where you can park a bus? Where I'm from, (Victoria BC Canada), I think it would be a struggle but I'm delighted she can make it work😊❤️🚙🇨🇦

this is so beautiful! I love the color in the rig. I 'm building out my 1988 chevy van home and I am so excited to travel and work in film and TV. Great video!

Such a very lovely home. Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

Hi Julie, You have a beautiful bus, Great made.!!. Be proud of yourself and enjoy.!! Greetings from the Netherlands.

I have a Skoolie and have a foot pump sink. I was so excited about your video and you have the same pump/ water heater as me. I've been trying to figure out how to rig my bathtub so I thank you for sharing your home with us. Like you I've experienced a lot of hatred from people living in a Skoolie as a solo female. Thanks for sharing your home and honesty.♥️♥️♥️

KOOL BUS HUN!!.. I had a flat nose high way coach converted many yrs ago, now at 61, my wife n I bought a ford dually n a 1161 lance camper , getting ready to hit the ROADS, we r just waiting for our custom trailer getting built to haul our HARLEYS. CANT WAIT FOR SOME MORE ADVERTURES ON WHERE EVER WE END UP IN WINTERS SOME WHERE WARM!.. SINCE WE LIVE IN ONTARIO 🇨🇦💖✌

Wow I love it. Beautiful. Love the wood. Great colours

Excellent skoolie. Very personalized & ecclectic

This is absolutely amazing! I love every bit of this. U did an outstandingly beautiful job. I’m not sure where u are located. But I assume it’s local, being that Hoppy helped out and your theatre chair from Hoppy is originally from the Ellenville theatre. I hope to see this beautiful work of art “out in the wild” lol. I’m more than happy for u. Such a beautiful piece. Much love. 🤟🏻✌🏻🤙🏻❤️ p.s. Hoppy is truly a gift to this earth. I don’t know him well, but from the few times I’ve met him. He was such a pure human. One of my best friends was the one who had the motorcycle accident in front of Hoppy’s homestead. Im forever indebted to Hoppy for being there with my friend in his last minutes with us. Hoppy is a true saint. Thank u for amazing video and continue creating your beautiful bus. Strive for greatness. ❤️

You have a beautiful spirit . You don't have to explain what you do. I think that people in general are afraid of new things, different concepts , anything out of normal. The days of having a place to live to own is fast becoming out of reach . The bus conversion is a way to answer . You are safe, your rent is not going to double. The things you carry or create are the things you love . If you decide to purchase some land , park your bus build a shelter over the whole thing , landscape your oasis , one day you can have your serenity and made people ever so jealous. I think people forget the way the ancestors started, in caves, in sod houses, one room houses. Additional rooms added as family grew.

Beautiful bus

I LOVE your bus!! The love that you put into it is awesome!!!

Very nicely done awesome work .

Congrats on your build. Being a NEw Yorker .. I totally respect you. This isn't a easy life.. but building your own is totally RESPECT ful. 👍👍👍🙏🙏❤️

You did a great job. Many Blessings

I totally love your outlook as well as home.I have often found that what we do to others is returned. I instilled this belief in my children and explained “ People That live different from what you are accustomed too does not make them right or wrong it just makes life interesting and to accept the difference as a better way of understanding others. For those that were negative toward your way of life may find themselves in similar situations it seems life is a teacher that way.

The bus is amazing! 💚🇬🇧💚

Wow! Building out a Skokie in the Bx and living in it! I thought doing that in the city was impossible.

such a cute build!

Love the wood in your home!!!! Feels so comfy, looks comfy, so I'm guessing it feels comfy

Very cozy “home” Safe travels from one New Yorker to another ❤️

Amazing Julie!! So so beautiful and cosy ❤️👌

I admire you.🤗 Keep doing you. Love.💕You are awesome. Many more blessings to you and yours.🙏 Amen.

Don't hate, appreciate! Great space for you and yours!

Much respect to you, continue to create, and be your very best.

❤❤❤ swoon. beautiful home beautiful soul

wow!Really nice job!

Wow beautiful bus.

I think she's great so artistic

YOU ARE A GREAT WOMAN, THERE ARE CRAZY INSENSITIVE PEOPLE EVERWHERE .JUST IGNORE THEM THEY SPEAK OUT OF I GNORANCE OR ENVY. BE HAPPY ENJOY YOUR LIFE.

Hoppy? Hoppy from out Kerhonkson? He's a genius with wood working? If so I'm aware of him I love his work and I used to work with his sister The bus is gorgeous and right up my alley.

Wow! Well done, very nice. You’re a very capable person!

Nice sharing

Your build truly looks like a home, and it obviously is reflective of you. As you have a wood stove in your bus, did you have any issues with vehicle insurance? I'd be curious, as I was planning a build and incorporating a wood stove, but another bus dweller had a problem insuring their build because of a wood stove...

Will you get another cat... I hope so..lots of fur babies out there who need a home❤️

Do ask yourselves why working and living in order to rent and owning a home has gotten so much harder in a generation. Years of romanticising make shift homes or super compact apartments because the market is so phrohibitive is a sad thing.

I think her place is great

Great 👍 job keep it up .,, beautiful 🤩 don’t let the negativity get to you .,, from those people.,,,, lovely 🥰

Hi, thanks for sharing your story. I live in NYC and I am very interested in a skoolie lifestyle. Can you recommend where you looked to purchase a used school bus in the NY region?

cool video just a nice style 👍👍👍👍

The farm looks so peaceful. Prefer it to NYC?

You are quite brilliant and inspired. Besides the remax battery bank what kind of inverter are you using. Name brand? Is genius. Absolutely. Also what solar battery charging control panel did you pick brand and model ... Everything outhere is such junk. Tried and true is soo hard to find.

Great style taste in things I like very ..

Awwwww she looks like my stray kitty

Where do you find places to park??

Where did you buy your electric heater?? I would like to get one!

Well if she is happy with the way it looks👍
