About Me


Hi! I’m Vanessa!

I grew up in North Carolina and have spent the last 11 years in Austin, TX. I moved to Clearwater, Florida in 2022!

I love trying new restaurants, going to concerts, and traveling!

I have had a love of traveling since a young age, and the older I get the more my desire grows to see more of the world.

One of the most common things people say to me is “they can’t afford to travel.”  I should back up and start with I love thrifting and great deals, and with that mindset traveling can be no different! When it comes to travel a first class flight and a 5 star hotel isn’t what makes the trip, it’s the experiences!

While I have had the opportunity to travel both luxury and economically I can help show you how to make the least expensive trip feel like a million bucks!

No one should tell you how to use your money, but you can certainly set yourself up to optimize what YOU want.

For me food, experiences, and travel are what keep me going. I want to help you to follow your passion and know that money should not prevent you from doing what you love.
