ABOUT ME

The name is Vanessa. I am a social butterfly, hippie spirit, and adventurous soul. I am passionate, open minded and bubbly. A musician, philanthropist, and nomad at heart. Im a Canadian-Portuguese & I have a profound love to travel the world and experience LIFE, especially when you get to meet so many cool people along the way!! Im extremely outgoing and absolutely love meeting new people, and I generally get along with anyone, except rude people! (biggest pet peeve). My two biggest passions are travel & music, and Im always up for a good time, (DEFINITELY when it includes a random adventure!) Im also very passionate about helping others, volunteering, & giving back - making this world a better place to live in & creating positive karma!.
