0:57
incredible story began in 2015. Jesse
1:01
was getting tired of her job and she
1:03
wanted to let go of everything to enjoy
1:05
life
1:06
one day while serving the internet the
1:08
young woman came across an advertisement
1:10
for a Suburban bus for sale it was a
1:13
1966 GMC Greyhound the same model bus
1:17
used in the Keanu Reeves movie Speed and
1:20
Jesse loved it immediately Jesse was
1:22
lucky enough to win the auction and was
1:24
able to buy the bus for just seven
1:26
thousand dollars Jesse is an ambitious
1:29
and very courageous woman just the
1:31
decision she had made had already made
1:33
her an extraordinary person unlike many
1:36
people who refurbish and transform buses
1:38
for money and fame Jesse had very
1:40
different motivations
1:42
in this story you will discover that
1:44
this amazing woman Jesse lipskin was
1:47
anything but ordinary Jesse was a
1:49
bookworm and she loved reading and
1:51
researching things she loved she was
1:54
also vegan which also encouraged her to
1:56
take an eco-friendly path
1:58
she wanted to learn and adopt a
2:00
sustainable life after working in the
2:02
corporate world Jesse felt she had to
2:04
achieve something bigger she took time
2:06
to prepare
2:07
it was thanks to a documentary that it
2:10
all started for the young woman Jesse
2:12
became genuinely interested in
2:14
sustainable living as an alternative
2:16
through the documentary garbage Warrior
2:18
the film focused on the life of
2:20
architect Michael Reynolds Michael
2:22
Reynolds is an Eco architect who designs
2:25
and constructs practical buildings and
2:27
structures called Earthship Jesse was
2:29
not like other young people who loved
2:31
the luxurious life without thinking
2:33
about tomorrow
2:34
she opted for a more economical
2:36
lifestyle in the long term Jesse was a
2:39
young woman who hadn't moved much during
2:41
her teenage years so the bus might allow
2:44
him to change that Jesse wanted to start
2:46
living a simpler life but she also
2:48
wanted to see the world with her own
2:50
eyes
2:50
she had lived in Manhattan for many
2:52
years and wanted to experience more than
2:55
that Jesse had lived and worked in New
2:57
York with its busy streets and tall
2:59
buildings but deep down she knew that
3:02
having a portable home was the best
3:04
solution
3:05
an old commuter bus sold for several K
3:08
dollars would usually put off many
3:10
potential buyers but not Jesse Jesse was
3:13
excited she had seen the potential of
3:15
this old bus and what it would look like
3:17
once the transformation was complete the
3:20
bus was sold as is on the internet Jesse
3:23
knew from the start that it wasn't going
3:25
to be easy the bus was almost empty and
3:28
didn't have many interesting features
3:30
there were only a handful of seats left
3:32
and nothing else undeterred Jesse worked
3:35
with a team and began removing all
3:37
remaining seats from the bus Jesse could
3:40
not do this work alone she needed a
3:42
helping hand for this transformation
3:45
Jesse moved around a lot during the
3:47
Reconstruction of her bus and she met
3:49
many people who would become friends
3:51
these friends helped Jesse turn her bus
3:53
into her dream home although she liked
3:56
to do everything herself her expertise
3:58
did not include Plumbing architecture
4:00
carpentry or even electricity
4:03
Jesse and made a decision that puzzled
4:05
her entire family
4:06
some disagreed with what she was doing
4:09
despite the successes she had had with
4:11
the help of locals and other
4:13
professionals some people weren't happy
4:15
for her they thought his new lifestyle
4:17
was very radical his mother even felt
4:20
like she had gone crazy which he told
4:22
everyone in her building about her plan
4:24
to live in a converted bus many people
4:26
thought that it was a gigantic project
4:28
and that it would be difficult for
4:30
anyone to achieve what she planned her
4:33
family expressed their doubts and tried
4:35
to convince her not to continue
4:37
in the end his job was to oversee and
4:40
make sure everything was according to
4:42
his plan and instructions the success of
4:45
this project ultimately depended on her
4:47
if the bus was to be renovated into a
4:50
house it had to be furnished for this
4:52
Jesse had to make a choice about the
4:54
materials that would be used
4:56
a home is never complete without a
4:58
closet or Furnishings most homeowners
5:01
prefer tough materials that last a
5:02
lifetime
5:03
but Jesse had to choose materials that
5:06
were both sturdy and lightweight for her
5:08
home the best choice was wood work began
5:11
with a scaffolding and Mainframe of the
5:13
new house once completed the basic
5:16
Furniture was installed the house was
5:18
built on a bus and Jesse wanted to keep
5:20
that look and show it off
5:22
she had therefore decided to keep all
5:24
the details of the bus
5:25
y didn't want to forget that her newly
5:28
transformed home was once a bus and she
5:31
didn't want to hide it
5:32
she felt that the best way to pay homage
5:34
to the great history of this bust and
5:36
its people was to keep elements of it in
5:38
her new home and incorporate them into
5:40
her furniture and decor bus Jesse's bus
5:43
had become unrecognizable even the
5:45
salesman could no longer recognize it
5:48
three years after diving into this
5:50
adventure Jesse's bus truly felt like a
5:52
home Jesse was very proud of the outcome
5:55
of her project she had invested a lot of
5:57
time money effort and even tears and
6:00
sweat to make this dream a reality in
6:03
total she had spent more than seventy
6:05
thousand dollars to build her house bus
6:07
Which represents 10 times her initial
6:10
investment when purchasing the vehicle
6:12
this amount may seem insane to some
6:14
people but let's compare it with the
6:16
cost of buying a small apartment in
6:18
Manhattan the average price is 2.2
6:21
million dollars and the rent costs
6:23
between two thousand dollars and eighty
6:25
five thousand dollars per month the
6:27
young woman's house was quite spacious
6:29
inside no one could have imagined that
6:32
she could have all this space the
6:34
bathroom is clean and very pretty it
6:36
resembles the bathrooms of the luxurious
6:38
apartments that Jesse may have occupied
6:40
during her career
6:42
Jesse's room had been decorated in the
6:44
colors of nature
6:46
the young woman had been able to follow
6:48
her heart and her desires the room was
6:51
beautifully designed and had an open
6:52
window
6:53
the wind of allowed Jesse to have
6:55
impressive views of the outdoors while
6:57
enjoying the comfort of her bed the
7:00
landscape was thus different each time
7:01
she moved to a different place on her
7:03
bus after the renovations and Furnishing
7:06
of the new house it was time for Jesse
7:08
to enjoy her new home after all the work
7:11
done on the bus to turn into a house
7:13
Jesse made a very difficult decision
7:16
finally Jesse was forced to make a sad
7:18
decision she had to sell the bus the
7:21
main reason that prompted her to sell
7:23
the vehicle was its size Jesse explained
7:26
that it was too big for her to drive
7:27
alone she also mentioned that she had an
7:30
opportunity to travel abroad and wanted
7:32
to experience it fully she decided to
7:35
put the house up for sale on Craigslist
7:36
for
7:38
149 thousand dollars as of October 2018
7:42
his message is no longer on mine
7:45
the converted bus is still relatively
7:47
new Jesse also admitted that while she
7:50
loved her new home she preferred to have
7:52
one that was smaller and easier to drive
7:54
around she said however that she had
7:57
fully benefited from this experience
7:58
Jesse had a home like any other with
8:01
space reserved for hosting visiting
8:03
guests this beautiful house has of
8:06
course changed hands since Jesse decided
8:08
to sell it this unusual dwelling is now
8:11
listed on the ERM site and anyone who
8:13
wants to experience Jesse's lifestyle
8:15
can rent it for just one hundred dollars
