About The Dancing Vixen
Adrenaline junkie, adventure seeker, explorer, foodie, chocolate lover, budding wildlife photographer, lawyer, motivator, salsa dancer and Settlers of Catan player… but most of all TRAVEL ADDICT!
I got my blog name “The Dancing Vixen” from my love of dance and nickname Vixen. My heart beats Bachata but my soul moves to every groove. I love to experience new places and countries in a way that showcases the real culture, people, local food and dance so that each place leaves me with a note to my own life’s beat. I am feisty, confident, smart, loving, compassionate and funny. I stand for what is true and try to bring positivity, support and zest to live life to the fullest to all those I come in contact with.
Through my travel experiences I aim to bring you useful tips and information to assist you with your choices, trip plans and ultimately make your experiences better and hassle free. I like to believe that I am a force to be reckoned with as I endeavour to conquer the world one country at a time. I wish to be a spirit that embodies your mind, heart and soul until you are inspired to embrace the new, try the unthinkable and ultimately experience the life you have been given and all that the world has to offer.
How to find what your looking for? The posts on this website will center around travel experiences and tips for both local and international places. My social media feeds will showcase the everyday activities I get up to and my recommended retailers, places and activities etc. I come across, that I hope will inspire you to go out and try them for yourself.

We haven’t spent the most time together but from our first meeting we have become such good friends.

I would think she makes each day an everlasting memory and she goes out to achieve more than she actually dreams.”

I really appreciate this friendship as she will comeback to Saigon soon! See you soon xx”
