free-spirited
Lives without constraints
Free-spirited describes someone who lives according to their own values and impulses rather than social conventions.
A free-spirited person resists conformity, follows their instincts, and isn't easily constrained by rules or expectations: Her free-spirited aunt traveled the world with just a backpack.
The term carries admiring connotations of independence and authenticity.
