Transitioning to the serenity of bus life, living off-grid in Tapawera | GridFree
Dan's story is truly inspiring. After years of feeling anxious and unfulfilled with the grind of a 'regular' lifestyle, he wanted to give bus life a go and hoped that his quality of life would be better - he was not disappointed. Dan renovated a coach into an impressive house bus and moved off-grid to a small NZ town called, Tapawera. From a spacious bedroom to a custom-designed kitchen, complete with all the luxuries, Dan's bus is a true off-grid oasis. Not only does it provide him with a comfortable living space, but it also allows him the freedom to hit the road whenever the wanderlust strikes. Since transitioning to off-grid living and embracing solar power, Dan has found a newfound sense of peace and happiness.
