For adventurers, creators, and dreamers carving their own path.
West of Normal is a living body of work shaped by movement, quiet, and lived experience. Stories from the road. Conversations that wander. A life built deliberately, not by default.
If the traditional white picket fence never quite fit, you’re in the right place.
STEP OUTSIDE
West of Normal is a movement for truck lifers, road roamers, and wild-hearted wanderers who know freedom doesn’t live in a cubicle.
This is a homebase for people carving out real lives from the road through nomadic travel, remote work, solitude, and the inner shifts that happen along the way.
A place where off-grid living meets honest conversation, and where figuring it out is part of the point.
This space wasn’t made for influencers or polished vanlife fantasies. It’s for the ones chasing stillness in motion, connection in the in-between, and self-sufficiency in whatever form it takes.
For those who left the map behind and started listening to themselves.
Over time, patterns began to surface. People arrive here for different reasons. They move through freedom in different ways. And they build their lives from different internal forces.
Inner Currents sit at the heart of West of Normal. They reflect the underlying ways people orient themselves toward a life less traditional. Not labels. Not boxes. Just a lens for noticing how you tend to move, choose, and build, without needing to change any of it.

Hey, I’m Adele—creator, traveler, and the person behind West of Normal.
This project grew out of a life built on movement, quiet choices, and paying attention to what actually works. I’ve run a six-figure business from a truck camper, shifted paths more than once, and learned to trust the slower, less obvious route.
West of Normal isn’t a formula or a finish line. It’s a body of work shaped by experience... stories from the road, conversations that wander, and reflections from a life built deliberately.
If the conventional path never quite fit, you’re welcome here.
→ Explore Your Inner CurrentWest of Normal is a movement with a built-in toolbox.
It’s a landing spot for people living from the road and figuring things out as they go. A place to gather tools, stories, and perspective while life is still in motion.
This space grew out of days spent rewiring rigs, choosing solitude, and finding just enough signal to keep things moving. Nothing polished. Nothing staged. Just the work of building a life that fits.
Somewhere between grit and ease, structure and freedom, a rhythm starts to form.
If you’re building remote income, redefining success, or learning to trust your own timing, you’ll recognize yourself here. This space is for people who keep going, even when the road asks them to slow down.

INTRODUCING
the PODCAST Where Weird Wins
This podcast is a space for people who never fit the mold and stopped trying to.
Recorded from my truck camper, these are conversations with folks living off-script. Sometimes by choice, sometimes by necessity. We talk about road life, remote work, rebuilds, quiet seasons, messy ones, and the small decisions that slowly reshape a life.
It’s not about having it figured out. It’s about noticing what works, what doesn’t, and what keeps pulling you forward when you listen closely.
If you’ve ever felt drawn to a different way of living, you’ll probably recognize yourself here.
Get on the Podcast Waitlist
Out here, freedom looks like a beat-up truck, a half-finished plan, and the kind of joy you can’t fake. West of Normal is for the rebels, the creatives, the ones building unconventional lives. Offbeat stories. Scrappy tools. Hard-won wisdom for the road you’re on. Not the normal route, but the right one for you.
