Jessie Lipskin grew up in Manhattan and smaller spaces have never been an issue for her. When she lived in New York City after college, she noticed that people waste a lot of time focusing on physical items.  From her viewpoint, most of these items are unnecessary to a meaningful life and she realized that the time and effort devoted to physical things could be better spent elsewhere. This led her to a “tiny home lifestyle.”

“My first draw to the alternative sustainable lifestyle was the documentary Garbage Warrior,” Lipskin wrote in Apartment Therapy website.

“In the documentary Michael Reynolds (eco-architect) designs and builds Earthships using all recycled materials. Reynold’s says: ‘I feel like I’m in a herd of buffalo, and they are all stampeding toward thousand foot drop off, and I’m in that herd.’ And I’m like: ‘I’m not going there. I’m not going down that way.'”

“I began to consume everything I could and read more about sustainable lifestyles. Ultimately, a home on wheels seemed like a perfect solution: I could easily explore new places (finding a permanent place to settle, in the short term, was not a priority for me), and I could continue to live a vegan lifestyle. RVs lacked the aesthetic I was going for, so I landed on a vintage bus conversion which could be registered and insured as an RV,” she continued.

Lipskin found the old bus on eBay. It took 3 years from purchase to completion of the mobile home. She announced that the renovated bus is now for sale. “I am selling my home mainly due to the large size! It’s just too big for me to drive on my own. I work remotely and have the opportunity to travel internationally for a while, which I want to experience in full. After that I’d love to return to tiny home life, something a bit more manageable for me to drive on my own—a Sprinter conversion or a towed Airstream trailer.”
