It all began with a wild idea
When I purchased my first adventure vehicle in 2011 – a 36-foot, 1996 Bounder – and set off on a cross-country road trip with my four children and 85-lb fur baby, I only dreamed of how exciting it could be. The reality was far more EPIC!
Three years and 24 National Parks later, I am so grateful for the experience I was able to give and share with my children. The time we spent together on such an amazing adventure was priceless. Oh, the memories we made!
After becoming a newly single woman, I was empowered with the freedom to make my own decisions and to create the life I wanted to live. In 2016, I purchased my Winnebago Minnie Winnie and traveled the U.S. and Canada for 7 years as a solo mom with my youngest kids.
Today, I live and travel in my Toyota Sienna.
Now I want to inspire you to create the life you want to live, capture your own wild idea, and live life intentionally, on your own terms. Yes, you can do it!
At any age!
As I continue to define and redefine myself, I’m empowered by the mantra,
“I LIVE BRAVELY.”
Thank you for being here. I hope you find something beautiful and inspiring.
Welcome to the Adventure of a Lifetime...
Your Own!

Solo female travel? YES! Solo/single mom travel? YES!
We can’t just sit around and wait for things to happen. That’s why this blog is about taking action and making the most out of every opportunity. Living bravely means taking risks, trying new things, and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. It’s about embracing the unknown and crossing the divide between where we are and where we truly want to be.
I believe that we all have the power to create the life we want, no matter our age or circumstances. I hope to inspire you to embrace your own sense of adventure.
Whether you’re looking to do something you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t, if you’re considering a new career, going back to school, simplifying your life, embracing van, or RV life, or embarking on a new adventure, I’m here to offer guidance and support.
There is great power in the journey of self-discovery and self-improvement.
Live Bravely
Every woman has the absolute right to discover herself; who she is and who she wants to be.
As women, we often put ourselves last on the priority list. We’re so busy taking care of others that we don’t make time to take care of ourselves or follow our passions. Sometimes we get so overwhelmed that we even stop paying attention to our own needs altogether.
When we travel, we’re forced to step out of our daily routines and comfort zones, and we discover new parts of ourselves that we may never have known existed. It can even help us to reconnect with parts of ourselves we thought we lost.
With each passing year, as I try new things, take on new adventures, and explore my own desires and goals, I feel even more free, powerful, and confident in my abilities. This is part of the magic of travel! The self-discovery of your worth, your abilities, and your strength.
I want to encourage you to embrace your emotions, age, spirituality, ambitions, and creativity and use them as a source of courage and power.
Full-time
life on the road
Full-time life on the road is a dream for many, and this blog is here to make that dream a reality. You’ll find tips on everything from finding the perfect adventure rig and reviews on the best gear for your journey to earning a remote income and making the most of your travels.
One of my favorite things about travel is the way it opens your eyes to new cultures and perspectives. I love immersing myself in local communities, trying new foods, and learning about different ways of life. But travel isn’t just about seeing new places – it’s also about healing and personal growth. When you step out of your comfort zone and explore new environments, you learn so much about yourself. Travel has helped me become a more confident, independent, and resilient person, and I believe it can do the same for you.
