Overland Girl is an
outdoor brand rooted in the joy
of nature and the outdoors.
I love being outside. It brings me joy.
I am relaxed both mentally and physically.
This is where I share what I see and learn from new trails,
my travels in my van, old favorites, and small details that matter.
If it helps you head outside or stick with it, that’s the win.
That’s me. Michele. Founder of Overland Girl.
Born in small-town Georgia, Michele grew up outside—ripping a Honda Z50 through the woods, lifeguarding summers, and spending Sundays fishing. Oh, and let’s not forget biking. Today, she’s a Creative Director and outdoor storyteller behind Overland Girl.
At 40, alopecia areata took hold; instead of sidelining her, it pushed her toward endurance cycling. She’s raced gravel and MTB, and when the snow hits, she’s chasing laps in Utah, Colorado, and the Midwest. Whether designing for brands, pedaling back roads, or filming from the van, her throughline is the same: practical, honest stories from the trail.
I love solid brands with a story behind them, explaining why they make what they do. Below are the brands I use and believe in. When you click through one of my affiliate links, you help support Overland Girl without adding any extra cost to your trip—just the gear that’s earned a spot in my kit.
