Description

Vegan travel without compromise.  Kim Giovacco, of Veg Jaunts & Journeys, talks about building a vegan travel community, 52 tours around the world, and why 60% of her travelers keep coming back.

Traveling as a vegan doesn’t have to mean settling for side salads or stressing over where to eat. My guest this week, Kim Giovacco, founder of Veg Jaunts & Journeys, has been changing the way vegans see the world since 2017.

Kim has led more than 50 small-group vegan tours around the world, with an incredible 60% of travelers returning for more. Her itineraries blend community, culture, and compassion—so you can explore places like Berlin, Lisbon, and South Africa without worrying about whether the menu has something for you.

In this episode, Kim and I talk about:

  • How a birthday gift and a love of food co-ops sparked the idea for her tour company.

  • What it took to build a vegan travel business—and keep it going through the pandemic.

  • Why her guests come back for multiple trips each year.

  • The hidden gems she’s uncovered around the world, from vegan Christmas markets in Berlin to plant-based safaris in Namibia.

  • Her passion for building vegan community, both abroad and in her hometown of Greenville, South Carolina.

Whether you’re a seasoned plant based traveler or dreaming of your first vegan tour, Kim’s story will inspire you to pack your bags and see the world—vegan style.
