Free Spirit

Motorhome manufacturer's line

A free spirit is someone who lives according to their own impulses and values rather than social conventions.

The term carries admiration for independence but can also suggest impracticality or irresponsibility: She's always been a free spirit—quit her job to travel the world.

Free-spirited works as an adjective: a free-spirited approach to parenting.
