Couples like Kelsey and Luke have made their nomadic lifestyles permanent and are showing others how to do the same.
Across the street from a parked semi truck, behind the AMC movie theater on Colorado near the corner of Eighth and Ash streets, there's an old mini school bus — normal-looking to most, aside from a large wooden platform covering the roof and the old mountain bikes hanging off the back.
Walking inside the school bus feels like watching a POV video you might see on TikTok or Instagram Reels. A blackboard calendar hangs over a wooden countertop; across the aisle, a modern-looking kitchen sink hovers beneath a stained glass window. In the back of the bus, two couches face each other; at night, they turn into a bed.
Of course, the nomadic community — or community of people living in cars, at least — is still full of ’60s-style free-love hippies and people who might prefer to live in a real house if they had the financial means. But those people have been joined by swaths of remote-working tech workers, in-person employees parking and living at their gyms or offices during the week, retirees, and people like Keserich and Bender, who have decided to travel full-time in between jobs.
"Luke was paying close to $3,000 on a mortgage on a house he was never in," she continues."He worked six days a week, bell to bell in sales — all day. It wasn't making sense."To make matters worse, Bender says he had an hour-long commute to and from work each day before converting to the bus life. Plus,"it was 45 minutes to get to town or wherever you wanted to go.
They found a reasonably sized — not too big and not too small — school bus for a good price in Marble. They sold their house and took to the road, with money from the sale covering gas, insurance and food. "There are a lot of people in retirement who are looking into tiny homes, van life; that's a growing population," Ellis says. Often, people's financial situations are pushing them toward low-cost housing options such as buses and vans, she explains.
