come away with me…

Hey! Hello! Ciao! Im Vanessa. I'm a Seattle gal born and raised, however I've since moved around the world chasing the sunny skies and big oceans. I lived in the sunshine state of Florida for nearly eight years, spent the vast part of the pandemic living abroad in Adelaide, South Australia. From down under to our charming euro-era calling Venice, Italy our finale abroad home. As for today, we are back stateside (maybe indefinitely?)-- It's a wild, semi nomadic life we have lived, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm married to my life long adventure partner, Colin (married for 13, but dated on and off since JH). We have two beautiful girls, Rian and Teagan and a handsome little fellow Leo rounding out our family of five. They are a solid mix of sweet and sass with equal characteristics of myself and Colin. As for me, I’m an adventurer, a mover, a creator, and a true believer in a balanced healthy lifestyle. I'm the anti-homebody and you can usually find me outside, running, hiking, exploring, traveling, eating, happy houring (that's a thing, right?) and chasing my {not-so-tiny} peeps. I'm a sucker for sunsets/ sunrises, a glass of bubbly, a jammy red wine at night, smoothie bowls, a good sweat, a sunny day on the beach or a cold crisp morning in the PNW. Come follow my journey through motherhood, travel, health, and the quest to find the everlasting sunshine state of mind✌🏻 View all posts by sunshine state of mine
