The writing career has also taken him to pen scripts for a weekly radio drama called Punta Fuego, aired on Love FM radio station.

“I have always had a love of writing,” says Vansen. “I once heard a speech from a successful writer where he described the love writers have for their writing profession and what to do to achieve it. I honestly felt it the very minute I walked inside the office of The San Pedro Sun.”
Vansen moved to San Pedro at the beginning of the month and is enjoying the tropical weather of La Isla Bonita. When he is not writing, Vansen enjoys swimming, listening to music and exploring the island.
