Finding vegan food while traveling has come a long way over the past decade, but it can still sometimes be difficult to find the places that are worth visiting.
In this episode, I’m joined by Audrey-Josephine Addo, founder of Lost & Vegan, a platform designed to help people discover vegan restaurants and plant-based dining options while exploring new cities.
AJ shares her vegan story, including the health challenges that led her to adopt a plant-based lifestyle eight years ago. We discuss how her background in computer science and graphic design inspired her to create Lost & Vegan, the gaps she noticed in existing restaurant-finding tools, and how she set out to build a resource specifically for the vegan community.
We also talk about the evolution of vegan travel, the importance of representation and community, and what inspired AJ to expand Lost & Vegan beyond an app and into a magazine.
Whether you're a frequent traveler, someone who enjoys exploring new vegan restaurants, or simply interested in the people building innovative tools for the vegan community, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration.
In this episode, we discuss:
• AJ's vegan journey and health transformation
• The inspiration behind Lost & Vegan
• Challenges vegans face when travelling
• How Lost & Vegan differs from other restaurant-finding platforms
• Building a tech platform for the vegan community
• The launch of the Lost & Vegan magazine
• Vegan culture, trends, and travel
• The future of plant-based dining and discovery
Connect with AJ and Lost & Vegan on her website lostandvegan.com and Instagram @lostandvegan.
