#ad 3 Ways I Save Money Living in a Van: 1. I get my electricity from the SUN. I haven’t paid an electricity bill in over 3 years because everything I own is powered by those powerful raaaays. 2. Instead of paying rent or for campsites... I stay on free public land all across the United States. Prior to van life, I had no idea this existed! But each state has land you can stay on FOR FREE. This saves me thousands every year! 3. I use my PayPal Debit Card to earn 5% cash back on up to $1000 spent per month on a category I choose, including gas! I’ve partnered with @PayPal to tell you about the PayPal Debit Card. • It allows me to earn 5% cash back on up to $1000 spent on gas! • Every month you can pick a new category... think groceries, health and beauty & restaurants. • That 5% ADDS UP & helps me get to my next spot! The PayPal Debit Card is SO EASY to use too! I just take out my digital wallet & tap! Plus, with PayPal, you know you are protected!

#ad #CapCutPartner The holidays are looking a little different this year… Normally I go back home to the midwest BUT after years of documenting my adventures using @CapCut, I finally inspired my family to come on a trip with me! This year we went to Hawaii! It was our first family vacation in 10 YEARS! I was able to document everything so easily with CapCut because: • It’s so easy to use • There’s AutoCut. Which means I can spend more time with my family and less time editing a video. • Templates! CapCut has thousands of easy templates to pick from that makes it SO EASY to create your dream videos! CapCut is hands down my favorite app that helps me showcase my adventures to my family! Tag someone who’d star in your CapCut holiday reel #OurHolidayCut
#ad I couldn’t do van life w/ out these two things: They say in van life you never have to pay rent again… but that’s not entirely true. As someone who has been living in a van for 3+ years and gone over 80,000 miles… The gas station is your second home. Which is why I love the @PayPal Debit Card: I get 5% CASH BACK on all of my gas purchases…. which helps me get back on the road to travel more! You can also choose to get cash back on: Groceries Health & Beauty Apparel Restaurants & Fast Food And that 5% adds up!! The PayPal Debit Card is SO EASY to set up & now you can use it digitally & IN PERSON! So you can literally take it with you everywhere!

How-To: Solo Hike as a Woman I hate that so many people tell us not to solo hike as woman because its dangerous. So hiking is extremely empowering & here are some tips to help you get started: Packing List: • Water + Extra • Water Filter • Snacks (tons) • Satellite Phone (I use the Garmin In Reach) • Sunscreen • Small First Aid Kit • Kula Cloth for Bathroom • Fully Charged Phone • Layers for Weather • Hat & Sunnies • Safety Items (up to you) Remember: • Download the trail route before going • Text friends and family your route • Check the weather! Getting Started: • Pick a trail you have already done, close to home • If you're in a new area, pick a popular trail during the day with lots of foot traffic just in case • Have patience with yourself! • Do whatever you need to do to be comfortable & that might mean not saying hello to anyone LMK if you have any questions but YOU'VE GOT THIS!
