Winter Hiking to Remote Hot Springs (and big life news)

Use my link for $15 off your first purchase: https://www.whatnot.com/invite/mirandagoesoutside It's time for a long overdue life update because there are things I haven't told you. The last time I updated you on my living situation I was moving out of my home in Leavenworth, WA in June of last year. Since then so much of my life has changed! In this video I'll share the news about what my life has been like the last 6 months, where I've been living (the answer might surprise you) and where I'm moving next, as well as take you on an adventure winter hiking to three of Idaho's most iconic and remote natural hot springs! This is a bit of a different type of video from me, I don't often do a traditional vlog, but I hope you enjoy it!
