The Yaak Bus Conversion
In March of 2017, I found myself in Australia working for the Queensland Gov as an entrepreneurial advocate. I would travel the country and meet with entrepreneurs, give workshops and conference talks. I was also the Founder and CEO, leading a global reservations management system for adventure tours called Toured.

Something was missing, I missed doing what I love and craved to be outdoors. While I was in Australia I discovered school bus conversations and in December of 2017, I bought a 40 foot, 1993 AmTran International and decided to convert my school bus into a luxury tiny home RV.

Bus specs: 1993 AmTran International , 78 passenger, Diesel, MD463 transmission, DT466 engine with 230200 miles

Follow me on our journey!
