About Me

I'm Vanesa Farmer. I'm a full-time veterinarian, a part-time health and fitness coach, and a bit of a mess. I'm from the city (ATL), but I'm the wife of a poultry industry bossman from the country. I also happen to be the daughter of a self-made, self-employed contractor with the mouth of a sailor (love him!). 

​

I got my love of travel from an unknown source, but I think I got my love for adventure for my paternal grandmother. I got my stubbornness and impatience from both sides, so I'm really screwed there (I'm working on it, I swear). 

 

I somehow talked my parents into letting me backpack through Europe for 3 weeks at the age of 18, and I haven't looked back on my travel adventures since! If you're looking for a flight, I'm looking to see if I can find it cheaper. I have mixed travel vibes - I LOVE finding good airfare and hotel deals, but I also love spending a few extra bucks for an amazing experience once I'm there, or an awesome recommended meal. I love hiking and camping, but I also appreciate a warm shower. 

​

I've also had a waxing and waning fitness journey that I have finally found confidence and routine in. It's from the comfort and judge-free zone of my own home and all from a program I stream online from my TV or computer. All of my previous exercise excuses have gone out the window - no driving to the gym, no caring what I wear, and I don't even have to wear shoes if I don't want to (assuming it's not the workout with the step, LOL)! 

​

If you want to know more about me or have questions about my adventures, where I find deals, or my fitness programs - just let me know!
