Of course, I seek out all vegan restaurants for us and engage travelers in vegan-friendly activities and excursions along the way – such as visiting an animal sanctuary or taking a vegan market tour, along with activities that reflect the history or culture of the destination. My tours and custom vacations are crafted exclusively for travelers who follow a vegan lifestyle. I created this company to give travelers like us the kinds of tours and experiences I had missed out on. Well, after decades spent on the periphery of the travel industry – working at a well-known map publisher, the Korean tourist office, then the economic development board for Singapore – complemented by my 25 years of personal travel experiences – I founded Veg Jaunts and Journeys in 2016. So, what was a vegan filled with wanderlust to do?
I was definitely missing a sense of camaraderie, the “instant friends” a tour provides.
There were places I longed to visit but did not feel quite comfortable traveling alone. I loved traveling solo - but I knew there was something missing. Many tour companies offer the chance to ride an elephant, or visit a local leather market - but that was not for me. Not only for food, but for animal compassion. Then, a few years ago, when I became a vegan, my travel choices were even more limited. When I was in my 20s and 30s, I loved nothing more than grabbing a guidebook, booking a flight, and jaunting through some incredible destinations.Īs a vegetarian at the time, I never felt I could join an organized tour because I knew food choices would be limited at the restaurants chosen for the group.
