Get to Know Me

Turning truth into travel—and resilience into adventure.

Hi, I’m Vanessa—founder of Mrs. Adventure Travels lifelong customer service pro, and someone who thrives in the balance between grit and grace.

 

My husband and I live a life that’s far from typical. He manages complex, invisible health challenges that most people wouldn't understand, and yet, we live fully, with humor, grit, and a deep love for the little things. This part of my life informs everything I do—quietly and meaningfully. It’s why I believe in calm experiences, honest guidance, and turning chaos into clarity.

 

Mrs. Adventure was built on the idea that truth makes everything better—especially travel.

 

I help travelers plan unforgettable trips that feel aligned, easy, and real. I also create grounded, relatable content for brands, and represent products or missions I believe in at live events.

 

Real Fun Facts

  • I'm currently based in Pittsburgh, PA.
  • My playlists are stuck in the past—in the best way. Think Motown to Metal, not Top 40.
  • My CRV has had more miles than most budget airlines, including better views.
  • I’ve worked in everything from luxury hospitality to the medical field.
  • I’m loyal to a fault and have a habit of overworking—both hard-earned lessons I’m still learning from.
  • I’m working toward a black belt in American Kickboxing, with Muay Thai up next on my list.
