I'm baaack, well, mostly. 🥳🤣

Some of you may know that last November, while I was in Thailand, this account was hacked. They changed the name, booted me out, and proceeded to spend nearly $2k in FB ads across four of my credit cards.

It's taken three months to regain control, and I still don't have total access! 😳My ad account is still suspended because they think I should pay over $1,000. 😡

All of that's to say, while I continue to wait to see if I get access back, I'd love and appreciate YOUR help!

I had planned to run ads to promote our 2024 tours as it's an affordable way to reach a large audience, but since I can't, could you do me a favor and share these tours/this post? 🙏

👉This year, I have three stellar trips planned to East Africa, Bali, & Costa Rica. If our Thailand trip was any indication of how much a group of veggie folks can have, well you're in for a treat! 👈

While I am incredibly excited to see the Big 5 in Africa, one thing I am equally as excited about is our stay at Emboo River.

The team behind this camp has done an inspiring job creating a magical experience for guests while also protecting Mother Nature and the community. I was so enthralled with what they were doing that when I started creating this itinerary, I said, if we can’t make it work with Emboo, I’m not sure I want to do it!

Emboo River is located in the heart of the Maasai Mara and is a leader in sustainable travel and responsible safaris. The carbon-neutral camp is concerned with limiting its impact on the environment and the wildlife that calls the area home.

They have implemented silent safaris that are run on electric vehicles, which are better for the environment and don’t disturb the animals. In addition to that, the camp utilizes solar energy for electricity, employs eco-friendly waste management systems, grows much of its own food, and implements water conservation measures.

On the dining side, everything is made utilizing food grown onsite, and the menu is heavily plant-forward; meat options are secondary.
You have to watch the video! Want to come along with us next year? Send me a DM or visit my website for more info.

If those guys caught your attention then you must reserve your spot on our 2024 vegan-friendly tour to Kenya & Tanzania!

For 10 days, we will have TONS of opportunities to see some of nature's most beautiful creatures, from Lake Nakuru National Park in Kenya to the Serengeti in Tanzania!

But one of the most incredible things we will experience is the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara!
As the seasons change and the rains come and go, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles embark on an awe-inspiring journey across the open savannah.

The Maasai Mara's vast grasslands become a sea of wildlife as the animals follow their ancient instincts, seeking fresh pastures and water.

This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a custom itinerary you won’t find anywhere else!

HAPPY WORLD VEGAN DAY!⁠ 💚
⁠
The day the animal kingdom throws a massive party (or would if they could) to celebrate the triumph of tofu over tenderloin and quinoa over quail! ⁠
⁠
On this veggie-packed day, lettuce celebrate with a few funny and slightly odd things people have asked me about traveling as a vegan! Side note: non-vegans, it’s ok to ask questions, and I’d say most of us encourage it, but just know sometimes you guys throw us some real doozies that deserve a chuckle.⁠
⁠
🥕How much weight did you lose? Traveling as a vegan must be a good way to lose weight. ⁠
🥕Do you have to take all of your food with you? Do you check an extra bag?⁠
🥕Do you only eat protein bars when you travel?⁠
🥕Do people look at you weird when you say you’re vegan (not as weird as I looked at this person)?⁠
🥕Be honest, you sneak meat and dairy products when you travel, don’t you?!⁠
⁠
Your turn! I want to know funny things people have asked YOU!

Who wants to see thousands of wildebeest and zebras thundering across the vast savannah? Or maybe slumbering lions under shady trees?

It’s been a minute since I have posted here, but I hope in my absence, you’ve been following along in my stories or on IG — because a lot has happened!

I anxiously chuckled while investigating the vegan scene in Reykjavik when I came across the question, "Can a vegan survive in Iceland?" On the one hand, the question-askers concern was valid — Iceland has a long seafaring history that includes consuming puffins, horses, and sharks and still participates in whale hunting (there is hope that 2023 will be the final year for hunting).

That doesn’t exactly scream vegan-friendly, does it?

On the other hand, like in many countries, public awareness about a plant-based diet's environmental and health benefits is growing, which plays into Iceland’s sustainability efforts.

We explored over 1,000 miles (1600 km) of the beautiful country and, along the way, found some fantastic vegan options — here are the highlights:

Reykjavik:
World Peace Vegan + Loving Hut — diverse Asian eats, all vegan.
Mama Reykjavik — hearty bowls & fresh juices
Junkyard — vegan fast food
Vegan Budin — MASSIVE vegan market, one of the largest in the WORLD!

Akureyri:
Indian Curry House — vegan-friendly Indian cuisine, with vegan Naan (by request)
Bautinn Restaurant — vegan menu with pizza, burrito, salad, & more
Icelandic hot Dog — multiple vegan hot dogs
Sykurverk — vegan crepes & cakes

Vik:
Wok On — vegan-friendly Vietnamese, they also have other locations in Iceland
Strondin Pub — vegan burger, pasta, & soup.
The Lava Café — vegan-friendly sandwiches, pasta, & some smoothies can be made vegan.
Black Crust Pizzeria — One specialty vegan ‘za

Eastern Side of Iceland:
Klausturkaffi (Egilsstadir) — I honestly can’t say enough good things about this charming spot. Their lunch buffet has multiple house-made vegan salads, veggies, and soups + if they know that vegans are coming, they will make special treats!
Hafnarbudin Diner (Hofn) — vegan burger, avocado boats, & fries

Gas stations (yes, even gas station have options):
You can find vegan burgers (at Olís), sandwiches, and chocolate at Olís and N1.
