If you love the outdoors, the last place you want to be is stuck somewhere urban and expensive. This is exactly why Julien and Pico bought this old school bus a few years ago and made it into their own home in the middle of British Columbia.

They were sick of paying huge rent to live in the city, so they bought the bus and renovated it.

It’s parked on a bio-dynamic farm in a forest in alongside a river. You can drive to Vancouver in just an hour and Whistler in half an hour. It’s got all the mod cons – gas stove, fridge, washing machine, shower, toilet, hot water and heating….

After just a year, they’d paid it off and the land they rent is a quarter of what they paid for rent in the city. Now they have more time to spend riding mountain bikes and doing yoga. Sounds pretty sweet, eh?
