🌵Welcome to the adventure! I’m Vida. At 55, I solo thru-hiked 500 miles across the Rocky Mountains, after 30 years of dreaming of it. Before that, I lived on the road for four years in my Subaru. Overlanding & exploring the Western U.S.

I’ve rebuilt my life multiple times — after depression, decades of 'high-functioning' drinking, and major financial setbacks.
On this channel, I share ways to reclaim your life, simplify, and create a freedom-focused lifestyle.
You’ll find:

✨ Solo adventures — backpacking, car camping, and travel tips

✨ Minimalist living & simplicity hacks — at home or on the road

✨ Starting over after burnout, financial collapse, or major life transitions

✨ Flexible income strategies — make money while designing a life that feels more alive
If you want to feel alive again, you’re in the right place.
xo, Vida
