Robbie and Priscilla love travelling very much. They can travel often because they can work anywhere online. But when they were travelling, they worried about their cat, Mr Beebles, who they had to leave at home. That's why they planned to buy an old school bus and turn it into their dream home in 2023.
Like most DIY jobs, rebuilding（重建）the bus was difficult. They faced problems nearly every step along the way. Among them, how to make the engine（引擎）work was the most difficult. In fact, Robbie and Priscilla wanted to give up sometimes.
Finally, they made it. The home is small, but it has everything you need to live a comfortable life — a full-sized kitchen, a bathroom with a shower and a bedroom. The bus also has an air conditioner（空调）, a fireplace（壁炉）and even solar panels（太阳能电池板）outside the bus to help them save money and energy.
As soon as the bus was finished, Robbie and Priscilla left their home in Florida on March 21, 2023, and left for the east coast. They were on the road for 10 months and visited 137 different cities. For the next step, they are planning to go on a five-year road trip visiting every big city of America.
