Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi, my name is Vanessa! I'm a 22 year old traveler who loves the outdoors! My passion is for environmental conservation work. I'm an active person who loves being on the go and in my free time I enjoy running, hiking, and sports! I'm a tea lover, and I enjoy listening to and playing music (guitar and piano), and I have recently gotten into videography.

Being raised on the central coast of California, USA, I've grown up with a strong appreciation for wildlife and agriculture, and developed a love for exploring and meeting people! Throughout this process, I hope to learn more about the world/environment, embrace the local culture/lifestyle, and give back in any way I can.
