A couple are raising their two-year-old daughter in the back of a converted bus after swapping their three-bedroom rental home for a life on the road. 

Will Watson, 32, and Kristin Batykefer, 30, of Jacksonville, Florida, bought a 1992 retired Air Force bus and spent $30,000 converting it into a mobile home, complete with a fully functional kitchen, bathroom and living room. 

The couple sold and donated '95 per cent' of their belongings - earning enough money to pay off Kristin's $20,000 student and credit card debt - and set off on their adventure in April 2019, when daughter Roam was just six months old.

They have since clocked up 30,000 miles travelling across the US and Canada.

Both Will, who has his own video production and marketing company, and Kristin, who is a marketing manager, are able to work on the road, allowing them to continue earning money while travelling.  

Although the family, who also have an eight-year-old Pitbull named Rush, have no plans to stop traveling, they will reassess when Roam reaches school age. 

Kristin said: 'Before living on the bus we lived a few blocks from Jacksonville beach in a three bedroom house. We loved our life but wanted more adventure.

'We both were working from home and traveling a lot for work (same jobs we have now) and we felt like it just made sense to make the jump to travel around in a converted bus.
