Guy Decides to ‘Check Out of the Game’ and Live in a School Bus. This Is What Happened.

Rat race? Patrick Schmidt chose the open road, instead.

Schmidt bought an old school bus back in March, and worked with his father to convert it into a teeny home on wheels. Then he hit the gas. So far, he’s traveled more than 10,000 miles and hit 30 states.

“I want to live fully on a bus, and make that my life,” he wrote on his blog.
