Serendipitibus, Dream With Power Tools







 These college students bought an old school bus and turned it into something amazing so they could travel the United States together.


Eight newly graduated Notre Dame students are about to embark on a journey many wish they had taken before stepping into the adult workforce.

Six young men and two young women are stepping onto a 1995 Carpenter school bus and traveling 8,000 miles across 22 states.

The graduates, with the help of a couple sponsors digging deep in their wallets, took the bus and converted it into an RV, dubbed the “SerendipitiBus.” The bus is fully equipped with a kitchen and bunk-beds.

However, this will be more than just a "last blast." The grads teamed up with McDonald's and plan to feed rural America.

Nick Machesney, a Notre Dame graduate, said, “They're going to be promoting us, we're going to be promoting them. In turn, we're going to be going to McDonald’s restaurants in small town America and just going in and buying everyone their meals. It's part of the Spreading Happiness campaign they have going on right now.”

Their tour officially began Tuesday, but they're heading towards the west coast Saturday morning.
