Rig Nickname: Hope because when I got it in 2013 brand new I needed some light in my life. The 4Runner brought it along with many new adventures! Hope for the future!
How'd You Get Into Overlanding? I started camping as soon as I was born and started off-roading in my dad's Jeep before I could legally drive. It has always been in my blood.
Favorite Cali Raised LED Product: In February 2020, I bought an R-Pod to live full time on the road. Even though COVID hit, I was able to take my adventures and living out into nature in dispersed camping. I’ve been to six states so far this year and by the end of the year I’ll have added on at least ten more to end up on the East Coast. I love pulling my home because I can disconnect whenever I want and can go do some fun trails with the 4Runner. Some of the trails I’ve done this year so far are Storm Mountain, CO, Superstition Mountain, AZ, and White Rim, UT. I absolutely love all my lights and how they give me confidence at night when there is nothing else to see in the middle of nowhere. Anyone can see me coming from miles away.
Favorite Trip: My favorite trip this year was the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands, Utah. You have to get a permit to do it and we stayed out there for four days, three nights. And I went with two other vehicles, five of us women total. I led the way with my Gaia app and loved having the ability to see all the national park map details, routes, and map information without service. All the women who went did amazing and got to practice some of their off-roading skills. I'm super glad I got invited and I hope to go again!

One of my bucket-list things is to tour the Mountain time zone… Moab definitely fits that bill! – can’t wait!! Got some recovery boards with my suspension, I hear Mrs Claus may have picked up some cube lights for my ‘12 Tacoma hood…. and then borrow my buddy’s R-Pod teardrop and we OUT! :)
