Hi, I’m Rebecca, 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 blog, born from my love of food and a desire to explore the world more consciously. At the time, I was searching for a new career path — 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 more than just ticking off destinations. It could be a form of activism.
Today, that belief drives everything I do. Whether I’m curating a vegan group tour, helping a client plan a cruelty-free adventure, or using the podcast to spotlight changemakers in the industry, the goal is always the same: to use travel as a force for good.
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 why we’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:
