This community blossomed from a tiny seed, propelled into the world by adventure, sowed with passion and organically grown with feel good vibes, connectivity and collectivity.

Some might say that this story began way back in 1947, when the very first sketches of the VW Bus were drawn. In 1950, it came to the market and a rich history of social revolution and cultural identity, with the Volkswagen Bus as a mascot, ensued, making it one of the most iconic vehicles on Earth. However, we will begin this chapter in 2003, when the founders of Buslifers, Marco and Caroline, happened upon a white, bay window VW Bus from 1971 and fell in love. She ignited a dream in their adventurous souls, so they called her Westy and hit the roads of Europe with a curious desire to explore all that the world had to offer. The simplicity and charm of their classic VW Bus made them slow down and appreciate life, instead of getting caught up in the daily grind. This was the life. The Buslife.

Over the last two decades, being Buslifers has become a core part of their identity. Not long after setting out on their first adventure, it became apparent that they were not alone…. They never expected to find such a life-changing community along the way. Westy and the road initiated them into a welcoming, global community that taught them so much about life and joy. Fellow Buslifers, soon became cherished friends. From the Iberian Peninsula to Scandinavia every campsite, rest stop and viewpoint gifted them a new friendship. Even behind the wheel, cruising along the coiled cliffside roads of Northern Italy or the fast-moving Autobahn, each passing Buslifer greeted them with a friendly wave. The affection they felt for Westy soon became inseparable from their affection for the community!

Even after parting ways, on separate adventures, many of their new friends kept in touch and soon their network of Buslifers was becoming so big, that the idea of actually creating the Buslifers community was sparked. Marco and Caroline wanted to stay connected with all of their friends, introduce them to each other and reach out to folks who are just beginning to discover the joy of Buslife. So, they decided to create a space to do just that!

Buslifers is the go-to place for everything related to VW Buslife. A place where like-minded adventurers, with a passion for VW Buses, come together. Buslifers became a community in 2018 and continues to grow to this day.
