Episode 01: Val + Tim - The Nomads Bus
We start off season one of That’s Different with Val and Tim of the Nomad’s Bus. Val and Tim are a couple who have created a rolling hostel out of a converted American schoolbus. The bus is equipped with 6 bunks, a bedroom, a woodturning stove, dining area, bathroom, shower, and the crown jewel: a rooftop terrace!
The couple, along with their 2 children and dog, spend their days leading people from around the world on epic adventures throughout Europe.
I joined them on the bus for a week-long trip through the most northern part of Norway in the Summer of 2019. If you can, check out the video version of the pod so you can see the inside of the bus and footage from the trip.
We talk about a wide variety of topics including their inspiration, life before the bus, optimism, living on 9 euros a day, Santiago de Compostela, and what it takes to conquer self-doubt.

The Tiny houses poem:
Love grows best in little houses, with fewer walls to separate.
Where you eat and sleep so close together, you can’t help but to communicate.
And if we had more room between us, think of all we’d miss.
Love grows best in houses just like this.
