It&#8217;s tequila with an actual real scorpion inside of it.  It&#8217;s horrifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you prefer traveling solo or with a group? Please tell us why.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I prefer to travel solo. I&#8217;m more of a person to just go explore and see things on my own. I&#8217;m always doing what I like and not what other people like to do during a trip. Maybe I&#8217;m selfish, but that&#8217;s how I like to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Have you ever visited a place that completely exceeded your expectations? What was it and what surprised you the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best place I&#8217;ve ever traveled which exceeded my expectations is probably M\u00e9rida, Mexico. They have a lot of Spanish style architecture (if you&#8217;re into that stuff like I am like) and old textiles.&nbsp; It&#8217;s got a lot to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What made you decide to join CAM4 on this adventure with Below Deck?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to take this trip because I just became a single parent and was breastfeeding five times a day. I mean\u2026probably more than that.&nbsp; &nbsp;I was working full time and was just exhausted.&nbsp; I needed to get out of the house and experience everything I can.&nbsp; I decided to go all the way around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can you describe your experience on the yacht overall?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I loved the experience. I thought the experience on the yacht was awesome. I was kind of surprised by the size at first, it felt smaller than what I had expected, but realized that there were so many people on board which made it feel like smaller that at first.&nbsp;&nbsp; There was a camera crew roaming around, employees, and then the 6 of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a lot of people on the boat, so it felt a lot smaller than what you would typically think of seeing on the TV show.&nbsp; Just to note, the yacht was not small at all. Trust me, it was big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reality is different than when you see things on TV. Overall, my experience was incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let&#8217;s talk about CAM4 for a minute. What initially drew you to CAM4 and your decision to be a CAM4 coach?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My journey to CAM4 is kind of funny.&nbsp; I mentioned in another interview that I was dating a guy in Saint Louis, Missouri, and didn&#8217;t date him very long.&nbsp; One day he came to my house and was like, what do you do? My response was \u2026 \u201cOh, a bartender\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His response\u201d You don&#8217;t have all this stuff being a bartender. Bartenders don&#8217;t work like this\u201d. &nbsp;Instantly, I knew.&nbsp; I said \u201cWell, no, I had my own company which closed a couple of months ago.&nbsp;&nbsp; However, it was successful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking I have given him the answer he was looking for, he then said \u201cWell, what do you do with your spare time? Are you like a cam girl?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second he said that I thought \u201cWhat the hell is that?\u201d That night I Googled- What is a cam girl?&nbsp; The first thing that popped up was CAM4.com. After researching for a little bit, I created an account and chose my creator name, Vanna Faye. I bet you are asking, how did I come up with that name? Well, I thought to use the name I thought was most beautify, my dog&#8217;s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After maybe four years of camming, one of the head coaches asked me to join their team.&nbsp; I said, sure.&nbsp; Once I joined, it\u2019s been history ever since.&nbsp;&nbsp; I then started coaching all the time and eventually became the only coach for North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let&#8217;s talk about what sets CAM4 apart from every other web cam community, in your opinion?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion, what sets CAM4 apart from all the other companies out there, would be the platform contests that we have. Of course, I am biased. However, I created on the site for so long and love the community. The fans are super great.&nbsp; &nbsp;All of the users are supportive, and they remember you forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can always see the number of people in the live shows.&nbsp; They are real people from all over the world.&nbsp; They purchase tokens, spend money on my shows, and send gifts.&nbsp; What else do I love? I love a lot of things about CAM4, I&#8217;ve been with the company for so long and from two different sides of it.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Once a creator, and now a coach.&nbsp;&nbsp; I love working here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you balance your personal life with your CAM4 life?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way that I balance my work and my home life is basically like managing a five-ring circus. I throw everything in the air and whatever I can catch is what sticks. I have a baby; a small little human.&nbsp; &nbsp;Because of that, I&#8217;m a mom all day everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I work about 6 hours a day, five days a week (sometimes I work more).&nbsp; Whenever I can fit it in, I do. I have a very particular work schedule, so that I can have the home life that I want and what works for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Talk to me about how your life has improved, how has CAM4 benefited you on a financial level or an emotional satisfaction. How has CAM4 made an impact?<br><\/strong><br>CAM4 has really impacted my life in a lot of ways. In 2016, I had a brain injury, with that injury came meningitis and I lost mobility over half of my body.&nbsp; I lost my speech and a whole lot of other things that sucks for someone to go through. My symptoms mimicked the same symptoms of a stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ended up selling the company that I had built since I was 26 and when I started camming, I didn&#8217;t really have a specific plan, however, I kept receiving opportunities to grow more as a model and as a content creator. I took those opportunities, and I ran with it.&nbsp; One thing I do have is an incredible work ethic and drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was tired of living in St Louis. So, I told myself, \u201cVanna, if you can make X amount of dollars every single month, you&#8217;re going to move yourself to Cancun\u201d. This I have accomplished.&nbsp; I was still a model. I was still streaming.&nbsp; and I had moved myself to Cancun.&nbsp; &nbsp;I continued being a creator and will hopefully do it for another few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have built this incredible life, that I wouldn&#8217;t have been able to do if I didn&#8217;t work with CAM4. I have had all these doors open for me on a corporate level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We talked a lot about being involved in adult and sex work. And you&#8217;re trying to break down a lot of the myths and understandings of our industry. Why did you choose to share your story on Below Deck: Down Under? Why do you think it&#8217;s important that content creators in the adult sphere are known by the public?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it&#8217;s important that the public finally start to realize that sex is a business.&nbsp; That the adult industry is something real and that there are real people inside of it.&nbsp; Those real people are working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think there&#8217;s this stigma that sex workers are just people who take other people&#8217;s money, or people who prey on men that are weak\u2026something along those lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know the words I&#8217;m searching for, but the stigma around the adult industry never seems to go away.&nbsp;&nbsp; Everyone that that I know in the industry are very real and ultimately normal people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of us have families and some of us have brothers and sisters that we have dinner with every Sunday night. We walk our dogs and there&#8217;s nothing outrageous about us. We simply chose a path that we found to be more lucrative than others and made the decision to take that leap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let readers know one word to describe your experience on Below Deck: Down Under?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grateful. I&#8217;m grateful to have had this experience. I think there could have been some ways in which this experience may have gone wrong, but ultimately that did not happen with a whole group of people over the course of 9 days.&nbsp; I think all of us got closer to each other in different ways and all of us have memories that will last a lifetime. It was great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Connect with Vanna Faye<\/strong><br>CAM4 Profile: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cam4.com\/vannafaye\" target=\"_blank\">@vannafaye<\/a><br>Twitter: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VannaFayeCam\" target=\"_blank\">@vannafayecam<\/a><br>Instagram: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/IAmVannaFaye\/\" target=\"_blank\">@Iamvannafaye<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vanna Faye, a spirited traveler and seasoned cam creator, shares her riveting escapades and experiences on the illustrious reality show, Below Deck: Down Under.
