In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Persi — vegan travel curator and founder of The Getaway Co. — to talk all things plant-based travel! We explore the joys and challenges of traveling as a vegan, how The Getaway Co. creates unforgettable experiences for travellers interested in plant based diets or are already vegan, and why being surrounded by like-minded people can make your trip even more meaningful.
We also chat about the community Amanda has built with the local vegan guides in each of the destinations she visits, what goes into ensuring there are not just food options but amazing food options, and what it's really like to go on one of her trips to places like Italy, Portugal, Greece, and beyond.
Whether you're dreaming of a vegan vacation or curious about what a curated vegan travel experience will be like, this episode will leave you feeling inspired and empowered.
