  • Everything went wrong and we got delayed on our bus trip by 2 weeks! This is definitely harder than we thought. #buslife #usaroadtrip #vanlife #rayaandlouis

    I am forever in awe of Raya when it comes to her vulnerability and transparency. We all have moments where we fall apart but the vast majority of us would never dream of sharing them with the world.
    Thank you so much Raya for your bravery
    In a world where most people only ever share a perfect highlight reel of their life, it makes us all feel that little bit more normal to know that we aren't the only ones who crumble into a puddle of tears from time to time 😅
    So looking forward to watching this journey, the highs, the lows, but hopefully no more burst water pipes 🤣
    Stay safe on the road guys 💕

      Thank you so so much! I was nervous to share it because the water pipe bursting was just the tip of the iceberg of but I feel so safe on this channel. Thank you to you and everyone just pouring out love. ❤️❤️❤️

    Hi!
    Downsizing is a progress.
    Remember the times you lived out of a small backpack or only one suitcase? - and it worked!
    Then you moved into houses with a lot of space and the amount of belongings exploded.
    After a while on the road you will get rid of more and more things that you don't need anymore.
    Always safe travels and stay healthy!

    I love the fact that the scenery changes through your kitchen window every time you change where you park. all the windows!

    Perseverance wins the day ! This was a tiny hole and had been fixed. But without perseverance and strength of mind and a ironclad sense of adventure;this could turn out to be a real hellish trip🤯...all the way to Costs Rica!! It’s a very very nice bus though.

  • @TheUtopiansBus
    @TheUtopiansBus Před 3 lety +1

    Expedition Happiness was one of our many influencers to encourage us to buy our own skoolie to convert, along with anything else 'tiny' or based on vagabond/mobile living and traveling. Out of mere coincidence, we bought a bus from the same dealer EH bought your bus from! (Greg @ BGA in Hudson, FL) Small world indeed! We're still making slow progress with the build because life happens. Excited to follow your journey. Hopefully your relationship will thrive from this experience. And your wanderlust quenched on the open road. I feel like a few things may be rocky at best because you are clearing the old break-up energy from EH out of that space. Let your love flow into it and you should both be fine. ❤️😉

    PEX is so easy to replace! Just cut out that section and add new connector pieces with the new pipe. The tape never full seals it quite right

    Louis’ ability to make the best out of every situation is remarkable.
    I don’t think I’ve ever seen Louis complain.

    The pex water tubing is SUPER easy to replace Louis. Get a small section and some Shark Bite couplers. It will take 15 mins and it will be fixed properly.

    95% of the video consists of Louis either sitting down in the bus, or not being in the bus at all. Je dis ça, je dis rien :)
