She turned a SCHOOL BUS into a LUXURY TINY HOME (it's awesome)
In this week's episode, Destiny takes us on a tour of her quirky, pink school bus, which she has transformed into a full-time home all by herself! This unique living space is complete with LOTS of hidden storage and a music recording studio, so Destiny can travel across the country in both style and comfort.

I concur, wholly! Such festive color selections, too. Jill of all trades, it seems. Do you secure your all of your doo-dads, books, etc. onto your shelves with hook and loop/ Velcro to minimize travel readiness? I hope you have some cans of Raid Wasp Spray, Bear Spray or similar method(s) of self-defense apparatus strategically located inside and in exterior access panels. Maybe a pew-pew? I don't expect a response to that. Safe travels and happy times. Thanks for sharing. I'll be checking out your build videos and music on your channels.

Amazing woman, amazing musician and singer, amazing home and life! Your song was so cute and your voice is beautiful. But sadly yes, here in America teachers who live alone or are single parents don't make a living wage. Add to that being "on" all day long (especially with little ones because you can barely find a time to relieve yourself!), it's easy to see why this life was so appealing! Hooray 🎉 for you! Your life looks just dandy!

I’m in awe of her and her artistry - music wise and building talent. Very inspiring.
Love the bus, the woman, the music, the story…and, now, I somehow hope someone brings this woman’s great talent (both building & music) to Dolly P’s attention…who I believe would love all of this, too ❤️🔥👌💞

A Renaissance Woman, very creative with her craft and her cleverly built Bus Dolly, Thanks for Sharing...
I am a professional school bus driver and I’m obsessed with skoolies bc that’s what I want to do in my vacation time and I’ve been watching skoolie builds for over 10 years and this is by far the very best bus build I’ve ever seen!!!
I wouldn't live on a bus, but she seems so happy and has accomplished so much. The 🚌 is really cool and probably reflects her artistic personality, so good for her! Loved this one and the fact that you let her play one of her songs🎵 🎶 She's brilliant. 🎉🎉

Fabulous build. Very clever, innovative, intelligent lady. Definitely living the dream..and deservedly so. Congratulations Destiny on creating the perfect home for you.
Wow! Everything about Destiny and Dolly is fabulous! Great musician, too! I'm really impressed that she did the whole build herself! Very cool!
Love her Dolly and her fabulous singing voice!❤️ What a fantastic job she did on the conversion ❤️
I've seen this before! Was it on a different tiny house channel? Yes, this IS the most creative skoolie ever! I love every bit of it. The spice rack is my favourite! And that hidden wardrobe - genius! Also this lady has an absolutely beautiful singing voice! Truly inspirational in so many different ways!

Destiny has achieved one of the quirkiest skoolie builds I've seen. I usually get bored with skoolie tours, but this one kept me watching. Her personality shines in this build. I found myself laughing throughout. I loved her "spice rack" and its empty bottles. While she was pulling it out, I said out loud, "You don't cook!" LOL Super fun and super creative young woman.
As soon as I saw this bus, I knew she had to be a fellow Floridian!! Destiny is the kind of person everyone else gravitates to. She’s incredibly unique & musically gifted (the best female vocalist I’ve ever heard). I wholeheartedly love everything she did inside Dolly!! I’ll definitely be following Destiny’s musical journey!
The TV on the movable wall is genius
This is fantastic. Unrelated but summer 1995 I attended a Grateful Dead show in Highgate, Vermont. As my group of friends settled in to our campsite alongside thousands of other attendees, a yellow school bus pulled in and parked nearby. Once the driver turned the engine off, the back door flew open and a ramp descended. Harley after Harley was unloaded (maybe three or four). They’d altered the letters above the windshield that normally read “SCHOOL BUS”, to “COOL US”.

Skoolie and the woman are amazing. She is free, and she can do what she wants and drive anywere she wants.
I'm delighted by all the innovative additions and secret places. WOW! And LOVE the song! Thank you for this video!
Truly an enjoyable video...she actually is a great singer and musician...I wish her well...❤
I will never forget my first music teacher in elementary school. Ms. Margaret McDonald and her beautiful red hair, her amazing voice and her absolute LOVE of music and passing that love to us. I’m 44 now, but I’ll never forget her.❤
What an accomplishment, plus a wonderful home/studio. Congrats!!👍😊 22:14 0:00
What a pleasure to meet Destiny & Dolly! 💕💖
Beautiful home! So proud of you. I’m a recent retired teacher. You are an inspiration to many who stay in jobs that causes them stress and forget to live their dreams. Good luck with your singing.
I love watching these to see all of the cool ideas for hiding spaces and space savers. Love the TV/Closet and the no spice Spice rack. Thanks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺
I have seen quite a few tiny house tours but I can't remember feeling child-like joy like I did today. I loved all the added touches. I literally giggled when I saw Urkel in the kitchen.❤
Pink works!! Please don't ever change it. It's such a pretty fresh fun girly color. 💗
Love “Dolly” and your talent. ✌️💜
Love the swoopy swoops...
So many awesome details in this bus. Love it!!
I love this layout. Doesn’t look like a hallway. Foyer and Living room area separate from kitchen area, maintenance and bathroom area, studio and bedroom area. I love the movable wall so you don’t see the cab area. Actually looks like a small apartment. Great job.❤
Love the vintage pink bathroom and all the celebrity face pillows. Your bus is fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing it. I'm definitely taking some inspiration with me for my own build.
You are one smart cookie to have done so much of the build yourself. I was so impressed with your solar installation. I live and travel solo in my little 25’ RV so I so appreciate what you have done. Not only are you impressive through your personality and your music you have built a great home.😊
I laughed so much throughout this video, what a great sense of humor Destiny has. Even the song she performed here is tongue in cheek. 😂. Her students will probably remember her as the funnest teacher they ever had. Excellent and amazing work on the bus! Good luck to her.

Ahhh, what a sight to see this beautiful sou again 😅... she is amazing 👏🏻 look at her beautiful artistic kitchen and bathroom, so creative 😍 💖 💕 ❤️ Unfortunately, the teachers need to get more recognition.

Beautiful Bus!!! Quirky-est Skoolie I’ve ever seen!! Awesome!!!!!
You are the first person I’ve ever hear actually speak the truth about the compost toilet. I love you for that. Knock a few people off their van life high horse. If you call it a compost toilet somehow that won’t make you homeless but a van lifer. In the end it still a bucket. You are real and authentic and I dig it. You obviously aren’t of the “homeless” group I’m speaking of so I hope I’m not misunderstood. Congrats to you and all you’ve worked hard to achieve.
I remember Destiny from another van life channel. And she is just as fucking rad as I remember her being. Love the bus, the kitties, and the Jeff Goldblum pillow. Really, who doesn’t love Jeff Goldblum? He’s everyone’s favorite eccentric uncle! Glad you ended it with Destiny singing. She has such a lovely, rich alto voice.

Enjoy music and bus build very much. Good luck and safe travels.
The work of a creative genius!! Music, carpentry, electrical, solar... I'm in awe. You could actually get paid to be a consultant, I imagine, for those of us with different talents not listed here. 🤨😸 I live in a conversion van with 2 tuxedo kitties, and my idea of a "build" is installing second hand furniture that I may or may not have spray painted first. 🤷♀️ I absolutely love the vintage vibe of the kitchen cabinetry, the appliances in drawers, all the beautiful colors throughout....but where were the kitties? 😳😿 Also, how do you keep display items, musical instruments, etc from moving or falling during travel? 🤔 Loved the song at the end 🙌💓
If music doesn’t work out for you, you could always built amazing homes! Well done !
I love that she built her bus around the tall girly lean! It’s so true and some ideas I hadn’t thought of here. She’s bestie material. So cute and fun and excellent build!
Destiny reminds me somehow of Liza Minnelli's character Linda in the original movie "Arthur"...a savvy, clever, hardscrabble take-charge kinda gal, also with a voice and the talent to pick and strum that message out there to the world. Beautiful bus, as well! Here's to "Dolly"! (Both of them!)

Hi Destiny👋🏾, You have an amazing voice. I love Dolly she has so much personality. Destiny, the wealth of knowledge you should be extremely proud!! Your build is ideal. 👍🏾👈🏾I admire how you took a leap of faith. Gosh, it sure does beat paying a mortgage or rent. I love your interesting decorations of conversation. Thank you for sharing!! You are Awesome!! 🚍❤
She has such a fun, cool, and funky bus. Her bus looks like it's a cool physical representation of her as a person. It's difficult to say what my favorite part of her bus is, but I do love that Jeff Goldblum pillow. 😂😂 also, as a fellow cat lady, I love the cats. 🐈⬛️🐈 Edited to add, a couple funny things I noticed and absolutely giggled about in her house... The Bill Murray pillow, good framed Mr. Bean in drag painting, and the fun waffle plate. Her house is full of fun Easter eggs.
What a stunning bus conversion. Fair play to you Destiny for your incredible build! Your music is excellent too…best wishes for the future of being on the road.
I love your bus! The colors are so uplifting, i love lots of color myself, next vid, show your cats!😊
the walk in closet is a genius move...been watching school bus built for four years
That tiny home is stunning😊🇵🇦
Destiny this is a great Schoolie. You built it really well. I love it. You made it your own. You have lots of great space. You sing good too! You have talent. I wish you lots of luck in your new home.
Love this build! So many practical things and fun decor things. Love Destiny's attitude too.
What an excellent job you did with your bus. Wonderful voice. Best of luck to you. Travel safely 😊❤
Forgive me Father for I have sinned...oh my the memories of confession. Beautiful build ❤
Beautifull ❤
I love the colors and design. Good luck with your traveling and concerts.
16:07 This is a fantastic solo self build. Personally though the bench you took 3 weeks to make, I’d have put all the electricals ( the heart of the bus workings you day) under the bench, and have the big door that swings all the way out, into another cupboard. It seems such a waste of a lot of space. It’s a fantastic bus. Well done.

I love everything about your bus except the shower. There's enough room in that bus to have a separate shower. (I really hate a wet bath.) A separate shower is just a must to me. Otherwise, I love every inch of your bus! It's absolutely gorgeous. Destiny, you are a talented musician and artist, and I totally envy your life. I'm going to keep watching this channel!
