Hello everyone! I’m Savanna Stanfield, and I wanted to take this post as an opportunity to introduce myself.

A little about me: I live in Anniston, Alabama, and I have lived in Alabama my whole life. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved going places. It didn’t matter if it was somewhere I’d been to 100 times before, like our amazing and often underrated beaches here in Alabama. I thank my parents for being willing to take us to the beach or other places on vacation, and am very fortunate to have those experiences. 

Now that I’m grown, I travel with my husband and daughter, and sometimes our little dog Penny. My yearly goal is to go to at least one place I’ve never been to, but we especially love taking road trips to see as many sites and visit as many states as possible. A lot of people have the goal to do “50 Before 50”, in which they visit all 50 states before they turn 50 years old. But I want to exceed that, hopefully getting 50 before 35 or at most, 50 before 40.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a beach girl through and through and am always down for a trip to Gulf Shores or Orange Beach, Alabama, or even to one of the beaches on Florida’s beautiful Emerald Coast. But the beach seems to be one of the most common places for people to go to, and they often miss out on the other amazing and beautiful places in the United States and around the world. My bucket list is truly a mile long, and I want to see it all. 

But I ultimately want to explore what the United States has to offer as much as possible before we venture out into the world. We have such a diverse range of landscapes and climates in the United States, and there truly is no other country like it. 

In exploring the United States (and other countries one day), I want to be able to share those experiences with anyone who loves to travel but needs new trip ideas or anyone who wants to travel but is unsure of where to go. That’s why I created Vacation With Vanna. I hope you’ll follow along with me or use my blog as a source of inspiration for future trips, especially if you’re looking for family-friendly or pet-friendly travel.

Thank you for supporting me in my journey!
