VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Liv only took 48 hours to buy a bus and quit her job to travel the nation. She was burnt out at her job in D.C., found the bus, researched skoolie life, and started her conversion journey. The kitchen was partially built when she purchased it, so she added to it and installed a top-loading fridge and cosmetic upgrades.
In the center of her rig are two hooks mounted for hammock chairs, allowing extra seating when guests are over. She prioritized clothes storage over a full shower room and didn't regret it! The bed in the back has a gorgeous broad view with windows and several small open storage spaces for plants, drinks, and a phone charger station.

I love what you did and why you did it... Sometimes when burnout hits nurses it's better to consider other options for our mental health survival. I left in 2010 for personal reasons. Life was getting in the way of trying to do it all. I' m a Mom of adult children, wife, ER and former Hospice nurse. Also a perfectionist at heart and realize there is no such thing in the profession. Best of luck. Stay alert and live your dreams. Willette from Alabama

Bless you for all of your hard work and compassion, the perfection attribute can work out to more of a curse than a blessing at times, but I am so glad you knew when it was time to make a major change. Hugs to you, from Michigan 😊

I had been a nurse for 21 years and was already completely overwhelmed and burnt out when Covid came along. It didn't take much for me to decide to quit. Good on you for not forcing yourself to continue in a ridiculously stressful and unappreciated (by employers) job. I'm impressed with what you've done with the bus and wish you the best in your journey!!

I’m so impressed. With everything. Obviously, your new found building skills….but also, your courage. It takes such bravery to realize you have emotionally stalled and must make huge changes. I moved to a different country in my 30s. People don’t realize how much of your inner strength comes into play for major life changes. I congratulate you on recognizing your need, and meeting it. And here you are, you can actually say you’re healed. Fantastic story!!! (And i loooove Poppy!)

you might be able to lock the door from the inside by placing something similar to a hasp style shed type mechanism and toss a longish bolt through the hasp to secure it, or just place a round (like an eyelet) piece of metal on each door and slide a bolt through that. .

Very nice build! The cedar really becomes a nice accent against the white roof. Thanks for sharing your story with us, it took courage to admit you were burned out, more courage to do something healthy to make the change, and courage to share your story with strangers. I like your honesty and your ability to find amusement in your mistakes, like not priming the outside. I'm sure it was frustrating then, but to accept it and see the humor in it is a great thing. May you continue to grow and find the joy and blessings in your journey! Thanks for a great tour!

For nurses who experience burnout and want to live a more nomadic lifestyle, I've seen a lot of other nurses accomplish this by becoming a traveling nurse, volunteer per diem at hospitals/clinics... be your own boss, have more control over where and how much you work and still get to travel and be a nurse, helping people, without the burnout! And this goes for many people in the medical field, not just nurses and everyone I've seen make this their lifestyle are all super happy, well-rounded individuals living life to the fullest! 😊

I'm a nurse for 35yr, travel agencies where always contacting me with offers ( phone,text,emails). I'm sure she's aware, alot of it has to due with the pandemic which is why I retired ealier than planned. It's is a great way to manage yourself as a business. I worked many years in my local level 1 trauma hospital, magnate certified, in critical care. I had burnout many times throughout the years but would have never had the guts to leave my security for this nomad lifestyle, kudos to her...
