And not just for a vacation.\u00a0<\/strong>I believe I've had this idea of myself on the road since childhood, both by car, motorcycle, and bus. At 30, I fulfilled my dream of having a motorcycle and took a tour of Scotland. Alone (unplanned) and with a lot of rain, but it was one of the best experiences I've had so far. The motorcycle was a used Yamaha TDM 4TX, an older lady. It was in the shop quite often, and I even had an accident once (luckily, nothing happened to me, but it was my first time flying in a helicopter \ud83d\ude1b). Anyway, the repairs eventually became too expensive, and I had to sell the motorcycle to a hobbyist. That put my on the road dream on hold for a while. But in 2023, I finally took the next step. In this article series, I'll tell you step by step about my journey to realizing one of my biggest dreams.\r\n<h2>The decision to finally tackle it<\/h2>\r\n<strong>I've been working towards making my dream of a life on the road a reality for quite some time.<\/strong> In 2023, I decided it was time to make it a reality instead of just talking and dreaming about it. Of course, this isn't something that happens overnight. It took time to gather enough information and testimonials to make the first decisions. Because with such an undertaking, you have to answer question after question, such as: What do I need to consider if I want to be on the road? Can I even imagine such a life? What types of buses are there? How much do they cost? What types of conversions are there? How much does that cost? Do I want to convert it myself or not? And these are by no means all the questions that arise. Nor are they by any means all the decisions that need to be made. And for me, decisions are always very challenging.\r\n<h2>The first leg of the journey<\/h2>\r\n<strong>There were some significant moments and people who played a role in important decisions during my first stage.<\/strong> For one thing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verapopper.at\/\">Vera Popper<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hypno-synstitut.at\/praxis\/\">Martina Gross<\/a>, in which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hypnosystemischer-erlebnisraum.at\/seminare\/die-insel-reif-fuer-die-insel\/\">Seminar in Corfu<\/a> I made the decision that now is the time to pursue the dream. Then <a href=\"https:\/\/socialmedianomad.de\/ueber-mich\/\">Tobias Frommelt<\/a>, who has been living and working in a motorhome for many years, traveling all over Europe. We met online, and he offered to let me call him. During a very long and great phone call, he told me about his journey, what life on the road is like, and where I could start. That was incredibly helpful. After that, I set up an alert on willhaben.at to get an overview of the used market. In October, I was at the <a href=\"https:\/\/caravan-wels.at\/\">Caravan Fair in Wels<\/a>, to get an overview of the new prices, what the differences are, and to get a feel for what kind of conversion would be suitable for me. In November, I looked at the first used bus, perfectly converted, which I absolutely wanted to buy. Unfortunately, it was not financially feasible, no matter how I tried.\r\n<h2>The decision to buy<\/h2>\r\n<strong>When I was in Croatia in February 2024, I expanded my online search radius on the platform Autoscout 24. And there I discovered a few cars that interested me.<\/strong> On the way back from Croatia, I decided to look at the buses, after all, they were almost on the way. And what can I say: I fell in love: with the buses offered, with the company that offered them, and with the wonderful people who run this company, \"KFZ Krammer.\" Of course, I didn't decide immediately, but first, I received wonderful advice. And after a week, I went back again to take a test drive. And that's when it was finally decided, and I knew: I was going to buy this bus. I even gave her a name: Violet.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":237761,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-237773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-persoenliches-jenseits-der-norm"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mein Traum vom eigenen Bus<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Schon immer tr\u00e4ume ich von einem on the road Leben.
