A DESIGNER ON A GRAND ADVENTURE

 

Hi, I'm Lauren and I decided I needed to spend more time in the wilderness so I packed my life into boxes and hit the road.

Now I’m traveling across the country visiting our National Parks while living and working out of my Subaru Forester. Stay tuned to see beautiful places, learn about the awesome and sometimes not-so-awesome aspects of long term road tripping, and how I balance work and play!

 
 
 

THE NATIONAL PARKS

Smoky Mountains ↟ Mammoth Cave ↟ The Badlands ↟ Wind Caves ↟ Yellowstone ↟ Grand Teton ↟ Glacier ↟ Banff ↟ Yoho ↟ Jasper

 
 
 

THE VEHICLE

My trusty Subaru Forester that I converted into a camper. Complete with a bed, a kitchen, and a work station.

THE JOB

While there will be plenty of time for play on this journey, a girl’s gotta work! I own my own design studio so if you want to support me on my journey, Hire me!

 

FOLLOW ALONG ON MY JOURNEY!

HAVE A SUPER RAD SUGGESTION?

I think the best way to discover new places is with the help of friends. If you have advice on hikes, campgrounds, coffee shops, breweries, or quirky roadside attractions I should check out, please let me know!
