Adventures of a CNBC Wandering Soul

Hi, I'm Vanessa! 

I'm a Psychotherapist by day and a CNBC Group Travel Planner by night. I live on the beautiful Central Coast of California with my husband Blake, our dogter Opal and our furbaby kitties, Pearl, Diamond, Moe and Curly (yes, we used to have a Larry too). When we're not traveling, we spend our free time embracing our CNBC life while honoring our CNBC grief. 

I was bitten with the travel bug at a young age when I used to dream of traveling to France one day. At that time though, my childhood adventures consisted mostly of camping, hiking and fishing with my family. That all shifted when I finally got to travel internationally during my senior year of High School. After that, I was hooked. Exploring new countries and experiencing new cultures became my passion. Since that first international trip, I've been to over 40 countries on 5 continents. I even traveled and lived abroad during my IVF journey.
