CURRENT MISSION

To live well, explore and connect with people and places. Create things with value.

ABOUT ME

My names is Vanessa, friends often call me VanPan this is also my artist name. I have main four passions in life: Anything in the arts (music, dance, theater, painting, photography etc), people and their cultures (hence the love for traveling), nature and movement (rock climbing, rollerblading), and food, love food. I'm friendly, passionate and easy going. I'm a singer songwriter and have 2 albums out under VanPan Music (spotify, youtube, itunes etc).

PHILOSOPHY

Keep a critical but open mind and live consciously, mindfully. Have a decent sense of humor too.
