📍NYC 🌱 Custom vegan travel planner and advisor 🌱 Award-winning plant-based travel + food curator 🏆 2025 Beard judge 📺 TV host 🌱 Vegan travel, food and life 📧[email protected] I quit my PR career to backpack solo through Europe and Africa, worked in elephant conservation in Thailand, then landed in Las Vegas where I accidentally became the city's go-to vegan food authority. I curated plant-based

dinners at the James Beard House, ran the plant-based activation at Life is Beautiful, and created Vegan Dining Month (2018 to 2024), the first large-scale vegan dining celebration in the US. I'm regularly on TV sharing vegan tips, speak at conferences on tourism and vegan living, and served as a James Beard Judge in 2025. I also curated a Climate Week event with Al Gore in the room, because life is unexpected and wonderful. Vegans, Baby is where I share everything I know about vegan travel.

Of all the hot-button social issues in America, there’s one that often flies under the radar but can unleash a torrent of strong feelings — swirling with apparent contradictions — when it surfaces: meat.

Case in point: Last month, the popstar Billie Eilish argued that you can’t say you love animals and eat them. Her comments made sense, though they set off a heated, weeks-long debate among X and Instagram users, who responded with a flood of strange justifications for eating meat, despite the terrible treatment of farmed animals.

The spat vividly illustrated a psychological phenomenon called the “meat paradox”: the cognitive dissonance and deep discomfort people feel when their behavior of eating meat and other animal products clashes with their fondness for animals.

This you, babe? 👀

You want to travel this year. You know you need to get away. You can FEEL that you need a trip.

But every time you sit down to plan one, you freeze 😫 . Too much information 🫠. Too many places 🏔️ 🏖️ 🌆 🌳 . Too many options.

So you scroll for some inspo ... and now it's almost June 😅.

Let me share this little nugget I've learned over the years about planning trips and traveling. It isn't necessarily the destination 📍 that's important, but what you want to experience, and how you want to FEEL. 🤗

We live in a world that is overly stimulating. We are constantly bombarded with messages. Pictures. Ideas. FOMO. So, I decided to make it easier for ya.

I built a little quiz to help you determine the right type of destination for you.

✨ It's 10 questions, and super quick. When you're done, you'll receive a report explaining why you were matched with that destination type, along with options across various price points.

If you've been telling yourself you need a trip this year but can't figure out where to go, 👋 hi, I made this is for you!

Where in the world are you meant to travel next? 🧐

So many people tell me they want to get away, but when I ask where, it's vague, like "Europe" or "somewhere with a beach."

It's a great starting point, but not enough to run with, ya know?

I made a quick quiz to help.

It's 10 questions designed to deliver you to a destination based on how you want to feel, what you want to do, the food you want to eat, the money you want to spend.

At the end, you'll get a full report with suggestions and options via email.

Take the quiz now and lmk your result below! → vegantravelplanner.com/quiz

Meet "That's A Lot to Unpack", my new substack wherein you can expect rants, writing, and vegan travel.

Not like I needed something else to do but writing -- like really writing -- is something I've missed terribly. Hope you'll still like me after this 💞
