Linnea & Akela
Welcome to Linnea & Akela — a journey of solo off-grid living, wild adventures, and doing it all myself. I built out my own DIY cabin-style van and have spent the last few years living full-time on the road with my dog, Akela. Now, I'm slowly building a dream life on 40 acres of raw desert land—one project at a time.
On this channel, I share stories of van life, DIY builds, and the real day-to-day of off-grid homesteading in the high desert of Colorado. From planting a permaculture food forest to DIY projects, everything here is rooted in sustainability, simplicity, and self-sufficiency. If you're drawn to raw, real storytelling and the quiet power of doing things your own way, you're in the right place.

Things are about to get wild—literally! 🌍✈️"
I’ve got a lot of travel coming up, including flights, a jungle expedition, and plenty of time on the road! I’ll do my best to stick to my upload schedule, but posts might be a little funky as I navigate all the adventure. Thanks for rolling with me—I can’t wait to bring you along!

Can you believe it's been 4 years already?! A few days ago I posted an updated tour of Togo, my little DIY adventure cabin. It made me reflect on the last 5 years of adventures, building, amazing people, and beautiful locations. And it made me even more grateful that those adventures and challenges aren't over yet 🫶🏼
Sending love to you all today! Thanks for being a part of my journey!
If you haven't seen the updated tour, check it out here ✨

NO VIDEO TODAY!! The temps are going to drop dramatically in a few days, so I am trying to get as much building & hide tanning done as I can before the cold weather comes ☺️
See you next Sunday everyone ♥️
