My name is Vanessa and I’m always keen to try new things…  Grab a drink or dinner at a new restaurant, count me in.  Try a new exercise class, why not?  Go on an adventure, absolutely!  My latest venture – moving almost halfway across the world (17,000km to be exact) from my hometown of Johannesburg to San Francisco.

I love wine, good food (especially desserts) and travelling to big cities!  Give it a Whirl is my creative outlet and a way to capture and share my experiences and lessons learned along the way!  I hope that you enjoying reading my blog as much as I enjoy creating it!
