A Vintage Bus?!?
It’s no secret that we are in the midst of a cross country hunt for a converted vintage bus to make our next technomadic home. But… why? Why a bus? Why not a more traditional RV? And why vintage? Why on earth would we consider buying a vehicle potentially older than we are? How did […]
