Here I am now - in October 2022 in front of my vision that has become reality! And all I can say is: HE makes me sooooo happy! It's almost a bit crazy, because it's \"just\" a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One year ago today, on 28 October 2021, I registered my business. Even though I don't actually count the start of the SOUL BUS until completion (or departure to Sylt on 18 July) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's time to complete and finalise this blog and rename it \"the story behind\" or something similar. The blog should tell the story of its creation and expansion. Of the slow stories... now it's all happening fast and Instagram has taken over the diary function. The blog is also complex and time-consuming (photos have to be uploaded to the computer and downloaded...).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here are a lot more documentary photos of the extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25 June: FINALLY, the wait is over... after EIGHT months (he's been at Vamper since October) he's brought to me. The joy is great, as you can easily see from my face. The initial promise that it would be ready at the end of January turned into a very firm promise that it would really be ready in mid-April... well ... haha... my money is now completely used up... all the buffers and reserves are now in the last five months.

This is where I end the blog ... you can find my trip to Sylt and more on Instagram or here on the website under \"Gallery\". I recently made a change to the name following feedback from people: \"Massage Bus\" was changed to \"Wellness Bus\". The exciting journey of transformation from School Bus to SOUL BUS is complete. Now the journey continues with no less excitement! I am looking forward to it<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
