Hey, I’m Mae — vlogger, photographer, traveler, outdoor enthusiast, & raver. I'm 26 years old, and currently based in the Chicagoland area. It's hard to say where I'm "from", because I'm really "from" everywhere! I grew up in Milwaukee, WI, then moved to Las Vegas, NV for a bit, until my last big move that brought me to where I am now. None of that includes everywhere I lived in between, and I think that was a huge influence on my desire to explore.
The inspiration behind all of this was simply creating to capture the feeling of being there — whether “there” is deep in the woods, somewhere off-grid with a tent and our three dogs, front row at a music festival, or just on a spontaneous road trip with no real plan.
Through video, photography, and storytelling, I document the things that move me: scenic hikes and chaotic camp setups to late-night festival memories and everything in between.
On YouTube, I post lifestyle vlogs that blend cinematic b-roll, real conversations, and the kind of energy you can’t fake. I’m not chasing scripted or perfect... just real moments, beautiful places, and experiences that are worth remembering.
This site is a visual journal of all that — part travel blog, part photo gallery, part behind-the-scenes of the life I’m building (which you can also find more of on Instagram).
When I’m not hiking, camping, or planning the next adventure, you’ll probably find me editing vlogs & photos, journaling, reading, maybe djing, or hanging out with one of our 7 pets (who occasionally steal the spotlight in my posts).
This space is for fellow wanderers — people who appreciate a good view, value honest storytelling, and don’t mind getting a little lost sometimes. I hope what you find here inspires you to explore more, look closer, and keep chasing what moves you.
Thanks for being here.
— Mae
