  • 🎶 You might not ever get rich 🎶🎶 But let me tell ya it's better than diggin' a ditch 🎶🎶 It’s amazing what a little power washing and elbow grease can do. This beast is shining up so nice it might not even get a paint job! 🚌🚌 Not yet anyway. When I do, what color should I paint it? . . . 🎶 by Rose Royce *i do not own the rights to this music . . . . #shuttlebusconversion #roseroyce #workingatthecarwash #shiny #falcortheluckwagon #shortbusconversion #tinyhouseonwheels #buslife #ananda #followyourbliss #love
  • The Bus!! Oh boy did I find myself a project. Everyone, meet my future home, the yet to be named shuttle bus. (Name recommendations welcome 😘) Follow along here or eventually in my stories where I’m going to do my best to document all of the build, for better or worse. Who knows, maybe by the end of this I’ll be my own carpenter, electrician, solar expert, and plumber! 😬😆🤸‍♀️ 🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌 Progress is happening, slowly but surely. Seats are out, floor is almost out, now time to do some rust management 😆🙃😫😜 . . . #shuttlebusconversion #buslife #homeonwheels #busconversion #quarantineprojects #keepingbusy #futurebusdwellers #falcortheluckwagon #shortbusconversion #buslifediaries #dirtbagupgrade #inneedofacarpenter #followyourbliss #followthefrecks #ananda #love

Hey there!

Hello darlings!

I'm Carissa. Lover of bicycles, good wine, four-legged creatures (especially elephants and puppies), shiny objects, and most forms of water.

I'd like to think of myself as a bit of an adventurer, wanderlust dreaming, always seeking the next escape. While I do not travel full time, I try to live a life full of meaningful travels to destinations near and far, and still maintain a place to call home.

Currently:

Driving the Pacific Coast of Mexico
