hey, friends!
I’m Lo!
Former Midwestern gal turned Alaska resident, currently spending most of my time in small-town Alaska in a fifth-wheel RV.
Three years ago, I packed up my life, moved north with my rescue dog Willow, and started building a life that looked a little different than the one I originally planned.
Here you’ll find Alaska travel guides, local recommendations, dog-friendly adventures, RV life, and honest stories about creating a life on your own terms.
