    We've sold the bus. Which direction should we go next?

    Hola Amiguis, Season one has come full circle and we couldn't be more humbled that you've chosen to spend the last 10 weeks on us. "Which Direction?" was born out of our own innate desire to try to evaluate our next movements before taking them. We've sold the bus and we're a few months into our van build, but the question still looms overhead, which direction next? Want more?   Join us on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.

    Content Creation Burnout... The reality of sharing our lives on social media.

    Hola Amiguis, Let's get real. Real real, ya know? Before we get there, just know this as truth, we have worked our asses off and are so humbled by the opportunity we have to share our life with others and make money from it, but like any "job" we teeter on the edge of burnout regularly. This episode isn't a rant, but it's us pulling back the veil of truly what happens we creators load their plates with a lot all at once, the struggle to continue producing more and more, and the battle against ourselves and the metrics to "perform."

    What's it like being in such a small space together constantly? What about resolving disagreements...?

    Hola Amiguis, This week we touch on a topic that we've been asked about time and time again. Something we're told would be "impossible" to do from so many people we know. How in the hell do we survive being around one another all day, everyday, in such a small space? Where do you go when you're mad at each other? Chase would say, if I'm mad, the easiest remedy is to ask if I want to smell his feet... dingus. Want more?   Join us on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.

    What went into building the school bus tiny home, from finances to sustainability on the road?

    This week we're talking money and a few other things. We wanted to touch base with the thought process that went into self-converting a school bus and turning it into a tiny home on wheels, the costs involved in the upfront portion of the build, how our wants and what we absolutely did not want influenced our layout, and most importantly how we've managed making this lifestyle sustainable from an income on the open road. We share a few tips and a few of our friends who are doing the same thing successfully from their vehicles while they travel full time as well. Want more? Join us on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.
