    Was Living in a Skoolie Worth It? Our Honest Experience With Buslife | We’re Gonna Cuddle After This Podcast Ep.3

    Would you trade a traditional home for a school bus? We did—and the experience taught us more about life, family, and chasing our dreams than we ever expected. In this episode of We're Gonna Cuddle After This Podcast, Michael Riggs and Carli Riggs look back on one of the most unconventional chapters of their lives: turning a school bus into a tiny home and living in it as a family. What started as a longtime dream became a real-life adventure filled with DIY projects, creative problem-solving, unexpected challenges, and unforgettable memories. From building bunk beds and maximizing a tiny living space to finding creative ways to save money, we share what it was actually like to build and live in our skoolie. But this conversation goes beyond school bus conversions and tiny home living. We discuss how living in a small space changed our perspective on family life, why a simpler lifestyle helped us become more intentional, and what we learned about pursuing unconventional dreams even when other people don't understand them. We also get honest about the challenges of bus life, the DIY decisions we would approach differently, and whether we would do it all over again. Most importantly, we talk about why you shouldn't spend your entire life waiting for the perfect moment to pursue something you've always wanted to do. Sometimes, the experience is worth it even when things don't turn out exactly as planned. Whether you're researching a school bus conversion, dreaming about tiny home living, interested in alternative lifestyles, or simply looking for inspiration to do something different with your life, we hope our experience gives you something to think about. Because sometimes the greatest regret isn't trying something and discovering it wasn't for you. It's spending your entire life wondering what would have happened if you had tried. Welcome to We're Gonna Cuddle After This Podcast, where husband and wife Michael Riggs and Carli Riggs talk about family, marriage, personal growth, unconventional living, and the experiences that shape our lives.

We talk about marriage, parenting, family life, personal experiences, and the decisions that shape the way we live.

Carli explains how she came to make similar dietary changes and how our family's experiences influenced the decisions we made for our children.
