I so miss Andy & Amber's Bus Life NZ Channel!!!!!

I get up, I go to work, home, repeat. The years fly by. Nothing is going to change and in a blink of an eye I’ll be old. Good for you folks to figure out a change to the rut most of us find ourselves in.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a contributing member of society. It is better than relying on others pay your way through life.

you can change that. move to smaller countries that are less expensive. i left the states years ago and live here in africa, super cheap and the people are super friendly. much more relaxed then i ever was in the states

Right on ! We don’t have to be the slaves of our own possessions.

you've done a beautiful thing. you're together. your kids will grow up to be amazing, because their mom and dad is there with them now.

I watched them on Ben Fogel last night, well I was absolutely amazed and the freedom you’re children have is a mother’s dream to be able to have a different view of your surroundings everyday. I am going to follow suit, you Two are amazing so so proud of you 2, and your children are so well behaved, especially from living in a small space you would think they will be little critters lol but they weren’t, their upbringing is in their eyes, they are happy as. Btw I’m a kiwi too

We did this in 2001-2002 in the States. Two kids, three cats and us. We bought a Class C Winnebago, as time was of the essence, and we towed our Land Rover Discovery behind us. 35 states, 3 Canadian Provinces, 19 national parks. After that it was time to find a good home where schools were good for the kids. Best of luck.

For your children to draw back their curtains in their bedroom and fall asleep watching everything outside is just so amazing.

These places in the world making it impossible for people to rent or buy. Well, I reckon no one is to blame, just economics. But, I am so glad to see people living like this. Making it work!!

Well done guys for escaping the rat race. The conversion is amazing ....I love it. The lay out is perfect. Good luck to you all.

Omg the view from inside the bus!!! I like that he didn't mess with the windows. Makes the inside appear spacious.

This wonderful young couple have proven that a home does not necessarily need to be made with wood and mortar. Great video of an inspiring family.

I'm so confused when I see these video's, BUT I love these people, these type of video's. The lifestyle is amazing, a dream. In a commonwealth state, kids must go to school at a certain age.

A beautiful family, a beautiful country, and a beautiful home! You inspire me!:)

All true! Thanks for watching Ricky! :)

Bus Life NZ is one of the best KZread channels for RV living. Great family! And Andy gets "dad of the year" for converting that bus into a livable home on wheels. Really great channel.

Mick Lockey oh thanks mate!

One of the best life family on KZread, I’ve been watching old videos lately because I just can’t get enough of them. I would love to have a bus but mainly for vacation.

I commend you for doing this and not letting the establishment/government schools raise your child. There's a little bit of freedom left but we have to look for it & take a leap of faith. I hope to join this movement soon myself

Hi Amber and Andy, I am commenting on this video as your last two were disabled and I could obviously not comment. I am so sorry to see you guys off youtube - it has been fantastic watching your journey in an amazing bus. For whatever you do in the future, and for wherever life takes you, wishing you nothing but love, laughter, joy and peace :) Enjoy the journey xxxx

I like that you chose freedom and to spend much more time with your family.

Very Good.. You can feel the happy beams coming out of these people

Bravo! We are home schooling / world schooling our child also while traveling fulltime but not in a school bus. Love your bus very much and you have ample and respectable space for each of you and your children. Great video, thanks for sharing.🦋🏝🙏

I have come to adore Andy,Amber,Jake&Daisy, they are a wonderful family & I'm proud to be a Patreon, I believe in what they are doing and truly enjoy the videos of their life that they share.

Very nice build out ! I used to have a converted school bus converted into a party zone, a huge deck and all on a private lake. And thank you for another great video !

My favorite family and their bus living. I almost wrote alternative living but, it seems to be becoming the norm. I just can't wait for my turn. I'm so excited.

Beautiful job on the bus! Way beyond utilitarian. You've created a true home on wheels and escaped the rat race. Super inspiring!

I love their closeness as a family. That is what it is all about. Before the kids were in daycare and now they get to explore nature and live in different places. Very inspiring! Glad this was recommended to me!

Kiwis have the most unusual accents, and by that I mean awesome! I could listen to it all day. I think you two have the nicest conversion I have ever seen. Happy travels.

I’ve been following the family since they were sharing their conversion. Such a lovely family... and bus :)

Yay! I'm so glad you featured this family! I'm a long-time subscriber of @buslifenz . I love their skoolie, their low consumer lifestyle and how they raise their 2 adorable kids, Jake & Daisy. They're both such amazing parents and those kids are gonna grow up to be just as amazing. I also appreciate how real their channel is, which perfectly aligns with the guiding principles of this channel! :)

Fantastic bus beautiful family. God bless you, your family and your travels.

Incredible little home! So cozy and those windows on the back of the bus are wonderful

So many creative solutions being generated by good people simultaneously around the world who are being forced to come to terms with a world where only the rich or the in debt wage slave can generate and maintain the old dying paradigm of normality. So many new pioneers.

Just realized this wasn't a Bus Life NZ video. Good work, Exploring Alternatives. Thanks for posting.

Hi. What a delight and thrill. I've not seen fir a time and your transition to this new life is beautiful song to my soul. I feel your love, gratitude and joy. I'm so happy for you all that the dream is even more wonderful than u could have imagined. Keep planting seeds. Much love Patti💖

Y'all are truly an inspiration for us all.

One of the most beautiful mobile homes I've ever seen.

I've followed these guys on you tube for ages, they have such a relaxed lifestyle, so much so that I'm intending to go the same route next year, I'm retired so no need to generate an income as such, just enjoy life while we can.

This is what makes a marriage work! You guys are awesome!

Wonderful to build home in a bus.i loved it seeing it.enjoy the life in open air with nature.good luck.god bless u all.

Currently converting an 85 gmc to an off road/ boondocking bus. Stripped skirting battery box and entry steps out so its frame up floor for ground clearance. Now if i could loose the differential and that low pumpkin. Also moving the rear door to the rear passenger corner so as to make room for the full sized bead. Entry door will be a gull wing and drop down door that carries the entry steps. The best times are found off road.

Thank You! For the tour of Your unique home! It is amazing! You are so organized! I love the fact that you are free to come & go as you please! Your children are really going to Luck out being home schooled and have hands on experience learning about Nature! This is a great way to see Your Country! Enjoy!

This is living and not only being alive.. I am so much making this happening in my life when I retire,, I will sell all my stuff and move in to an RV and start living.. Greetings from Sweden..

I'm watching this dead tired after yet another day in the corporate wheel. Not that I could ever copy this exact adventure but the philosophy inspires me. Just the thought of being in charge of your own time, your own LIFE! Guess we people struggle with the same everyday hectic stuff no matter where we are on the planet. Time to take charge and be free. Greetings from the other side of the world. I'll give it a proper think. Hope not to spend too much time thinking while the clock of life is ticking...

I am sitting in Norway and watching a program about ur life in your bus. Very interesting and I love the nature on New Zealand . Have a safe trip and I will follow you. Greetings from Norway !

You guy's are living the dream, been trying to get my family onboard with this idea for years now, but they are stuck in their ways. What a beautiful family you are, shout out from America!!!

i like your wood colors, look very comfortable.

Love love love it! Great build. Inspiring. Planning to retire (@6 years) and travel the country... Before I get too old 👍

Wow. What a great home, vehicle. It’s huge and I love the personality of it. Nice and homey.

The awesome idea for a change from typical living. Close to nature, a little adventure and exploration around. Love it !

This couple did an amazing job on making their home on wheels is awesome. Cute & lovingly family

You’re creating great memories for your children, fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Loved to see this. Love the family and what they have done to the bus as well as their thoughts on making life less stressful. Two of my favourite channels. Thanks guys

As a Black man. I can honestly say this. YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY THAT ARE OF THE SAME MIND AS ME.Knowing what really matters in life. Peace and Love to you all.

Love how you’ve kept the old Birkenhead transport colours!

I want to do this so bad because i think it's an awesome thing and I wish them well in their many adventures!!

Glad to see you guys being featured on here!

I think it's AMAZING that you did the conversion with zero experience in that sort of thing. And with no help. I'm speechless. Really truly inspiring. Where there's a will, there's a way, right? I'll get my tiny house someday. 😊

She's absolutely gorgeous!!!! He did an amazing job with the build! Best of luck!!!

I live in California USA and a decent house here costs about a million dollars as well. I'll never be able to buy a house here. Thanks for this video it gave me some great ideas!

I'm so proud of what you two did to save money and someday I hope I can visit New Zealand and maybe spend a day or two traveling with your family in that awesome converted bus.

I find it hard to believe u didn't have any experience, u done a hell of a nice job

Thanks for highlighting such a wonderful family. I've been following them since Andy started the conversion. Their subscriber count has exploded over the year. These fine people should have their own TV show instead of The Lardassians. Their videos showcase the beauty of New Zealand 🇳🇿. I've really enjoyed watching the kids grow up. I feel like I know them personally. Just watch some of their videos & you'll be hooked too.

Really cool and really inspirational! Never even considered a bus for alternative living before but it is something I'll consider now.

The kids bunks are the biggest I've seen in a bus concersion/RV

I subscribed to them ! They have the most fabulous kids and their journeys are so interesting to watch.

You're children benefit the most out of this adventure!!!

Awesome stuff, wish you guys the best of luck

I like the pantry. I think bus is pretty good, it has a lot of space.

I am impressed.

Love your story. What a wonderful blessing to have the time to spend with your children. We are empty nesters and looking back we see how fast our kids grew up. We too are a close family, but oh how much nicer it would have been to do this! Thanks for sharing your story!

after watching this i felt a little lonely, don't think i could this, it is crazy expensive in New Zealand so i understand completely. but a nice family like your's deserves a home , i wish you the best.
