About

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. For serious business inquires, please use the email below.

After a 8 month long DIY van build, I am back in the desert fixing things up! We are now all ready to head back to Colorado, for even more projects on our off-grid, homestead-in-the-making! #bluetti #ac240
