If your goal is to experience Austin, meet locals, be inspired by what it means to go after your dreams, live comfortably but minimally, and have easy, casual access to the city, then this is the place for you. Benjamin's story behind the bus is great, and it is a nice, quirky take on Austin (really no different than staying in a motorhome, except slightly lower ceilings). Ask him about his cider-making business and figure out how to support it!
