The “Liberty the Great” blog

Liberty the Great
Leave a comment

This is a blog about our adventures in our housebus, “Liberty the Great”. Late 2013, we bought an old schoolbus and converted it to the home of our dreams.

We were on the road in Liberty from May 2014 to April 2016, travelling around all of New Zealand (here are some beautiful photos by our photographer friend Alina from Hamburg, when she visited us in our home in 2015).

We do web and graphic design as schickeda.nz and are creating memories for our two boys.

This blog helps us keeping track of that special time in the bus and the adventures that came with it. Liberty the Great, thanks for taking us around the country.

Thanks, Nina and Martin from Hamburg for this cute picture.
Lounge lamp
This was the very first thing we got for the bus, even before we had the bus: A metal casing of some rotting electric switchboard from the farm – restored as a lampshade.
Dining
Seating and eating. The table is made out of two old bedheads and some original bus pole, and lifts off for driving.
