The curator
I have eaten my way through 18 countries, so you never have to settle in one.
I started this after one too many trips spent hungry. Now I walk every route and taste every kitchen before you arrive. The hardest part of your day is choosing dessert.

My story
Born vegetarian. Built for travel.
Every itinerary I write starts from something I have eaten myself — never a listicle.
- Plant-based since birth
- 45+ countries travelled
- 200+ travellers guided
- Speaks four languages
- Obsessive researcher
Growing up in a vegetarian household, food was never just sustenance. It was identity, culture and connection. Then I started travelling, and discovered that the world's most exciting food scenes were often closed to plant-based eaters — buried under language barriers, hidden menus and well-meaning but useless advice.
So I did what any obsessive traveller would: I researched endlessly. The vegan ramen counters of Tokyo. The Jain-friendly trattorias of Florence. The raw-food kitchens of Bali. And I realised this knowledge — the kind that takes weeks to uncover — was exactly what other plant-based travellers needed.
The Veggie Travels is the result of that obsession. Every recommendation, every shortlist, every itinerary is built on real experience and a genuine love of plant-based travel done properly.
The journey
How we got here.
The first trip
Set off through Southeast Asia with a notebook, mapping every plant-based table worth the detour.
The journal begins
Personal notes became one of South Asia's most-read plant-based travel journals.
1,000 itineraries
Crossed a thousand bespoke vegetarian trips — each one personally vetted.
The consultancy
Discovery calls, guided planning and full service. The Veggie Travels becomes a practice.
What I stand for
Three pillars.
Plant-First Ethics
We partner only with eco-conscious stays and kitchens that meet a strict vegetarian and vegan standard. No exceptions.
Cultural Depth
Travel is connection. We go past sightseeing into the food culture, rituals and stories that stay with you.
Zero Compromise
Luxury and plant-based are not opposites. We prove the most indulgent trip can also be the most conscious.
