Family trade their home for a shuttle bus... and you should see them now

The Bowman's decided to head off on a family adventure, but what made their adventure unique was the fact this family-of-four weren't returning anytime soon. 

Husband and Wife, David and Madison, traded in their New York City apartment for a shuttle bus, David leaving his job and hitting the road. 

 

The crew. We leave TOMORROW.

The couple along with their two toddlers have been living in an airport shuttle bus ever since, travelling the States on a mission to visit every single U.S National Park within 12 months. 

The idea for the trip came about when 27-year-old graphic designer, David, had felt life was passing them by, his wife Madison encouraging him to pen a bucket list. 

When he did, it became clear an adventure awaited the family as the only two things which entered the list was 'live on a bus' and 'visit all the national parks'.

Finding the airport shuttle bus online, the couple purchased what has now become known as 'Buster', and completely overhauled their new home. 

It took just six-weeks for the family to design their home, hitting the road to California for their first trip. 

The couple have used their savings to fund their trip, however, being a graphic designer, David can pick work up while on the road using just his laptop if they are in need of some extra income.

Their children, four-year-old Graham, and one-year-old Margaret have flourished with their new surroundings, already encompassing sights many people won't see in a lifetime. 

The family are hoping to return to New York City once they have hit all National Parks, nonetheless right now, their trip is one jealousy-filled Instagram snap after another!

We have severe wanderlust right now – if the Bowman's can do it, surely we can do it too, right?
