Hi. We’re Nancy & Zach.

Saw a Big Orange Bus at a red light? Yep. That was us.

We live tiny. We stop big.
We’ve lived full-time in that bus since March 2022, and we pull over for anything oversized, offbeat, or questionable: world’s largest things, roadside oddities, places you’ve seen on TV, and food worth the detour.

That’s Heddy in the front window. She stayed inside where it was warm.

Where are you headed?

Tell us where you’re starting and where you’re going, and we’ll map every giant, odd, and questionable stop we know of along the way.

Pick your weird

Start with one thing. End up fourteen tabs deep wondering whether a giant peach counts as architecture. That’s about right.

We live tiny. We stop big.

Right At The Light is what happens when two people live full-time in a converted school bus, travel with a small furry circus, and keep deciding the giant chair, weird sculpture, mystery coordinate, or questionable roadside sign is worth turning around for.

The bus gets us there. Curiosity is usually the thing causing the delay.

Questions we actually get

Is that a caboose?

No. It’s a school bus. We checked.

Which way do you drive it?

Forward. Usually.

Do you really live in there?

Full-time, since March 2022. Along with a small furry circus.

Can we see inside?

Yep. Take the bus tour →
