Interested in hiking through the jungles of Costa Rica and ending the day with homemade vegan ice cream? Then I think you’re going to love this episode.
In today's episode, I’m joined by Emma Fry, founder of Vegan Adventure Holidays.
Emma is a UK-born adventurer now based in Guatemala, where she spends her time leading vegan hiking trips up volcanoes and through jungles and remote trails across Central America. She created Vegan Adventure Holidays for active vegan travellers who want more than just a holiday: incredible vegan food, meaningful connection, and the confidence that comes from tackling spicy hills in beautiful places! Usually fuelled by strong coffee and happiest with a dog nearby, Emma believes adventure should feel supportive, empowering, and just a little bit wild.
In this conversation, we talk about her vegan journey, how and why she started Vegan Adventure Holidays, what goes into creating vegan travel experiences, and some of the realities of navigating veganism while travelling in places that don't always have a lot of options.
Emma also shares some behind-the-scenes insight into collaborating with local families, restaurants, and cooks to create satisfying vegan meals for travellers while still respecting local food culture and traditions.
Whether you’re vegan, curious about plant-based travel, or just love hearing stories about people building creative businesses around their values, I think you’ll really enjoy this episode.
You can find Emma and Vegan Adventure Holidays online at veganadventureholidays.com and Instagram at @veganadventureholidays.
