Follow my journey from the Escape to the open road, one honest step at a time
✓
Current Reality
Car Camping Adventures
Exploring Florida’s incredible public lands out of my trusty Ford Escape, one campground at a time. It’s not glamorous, but it’s freedom.

Saving For
My Camper Van
A camper van of my own, with room to get up, cook, and handle the middle of the night safely, without stepping outside alone. It gets me on the road and recording adventures sooner.

Dream Goal
Full-Time RV Life
Down the road, a Class C motorhome as a mobile research lab, then full-time life on public lands. Because who says a 65-year-old can’t start fresh?
Want to help me reach the road?
The best way is to grab something you’ll actually use from the shop. You get gear you love, and I get closer to the van. Prefer to chip in directly? The van fund is open too. And every like, comment, and share helps more than you know.
“We believe every woman should know she can do this — and that she won’t have to do it alone.”
— Jolene MacFadden, Founder
Too many women think they can’t camp alone. Too many think they’re too old, too inexperienced, too whatever. I’m here to show you that’s not true. You can start small, learn as you go, and build the adventure life you want.
