is a woman-owned vegan travel company, led by Rebecca Gade-Sawicki. Veggies Abroad offers a myriad of services including small group tours and custom trip planning that combine the thrill of exploration with a commitment to ethical and cruelty-free practices.
Hi, I’m Rebecca Gade-Sawicki, the founder of Veggies Abroad and a firm believer that travel can be a powerful tool for positive change.
Veggies Abroad began as a vegan travel-focused blog, born from my love of eating and the desire to explore the world more consciously. At the time, I was simply looking for a new direction — one that aligned with my values and allowed me to make an impact. What started as a creative outlet quickly grew into something much bigger.
Along the way, I realized that travel could be so much more than just ticking off destinations. It could be a form of activism.
Today, that belief drives everything I do — whether it’s curating a vegan group tour, helping a client plan their dream cruelty-free adventure, or using the podcast to spotlight changemakers in the industry.
Building Veggies Abroad has become my form of activism.
Through it, I have the opportunity to encourage businesses to make more sustainable choices and help travelers support companies that are making a difference.
If you’ve ever wished your adventures could reflect your values — you’re not alone. That’s exactly why I created this space, I’m so glad you’re here.
Whether you’re fully plant-based or just beginning to travel with more intention, Veggies Abroad offers small-group vegan tours and expert travel planning that align your journey with your values — because how you travel matters.
Veggies Abroad has been featured in both local and national publications. Here are a few of the highlights:
Promoting cruelty-free options is in our DNA! Veggies Abroad has proudly partnered with a diverse range of travel organizations across the US to champion plant-based travel. Together, we’re making it easier for travelers to explore the world ethically while enjoying vibrant, plant-filled cuisine.
