We, at the World Vegan Travel team have a love / hate relationship with travel insurance. We have so far (touch wood) never needed to make a claim for any trip that we have taken. This sometimes feels like a waste of time and certainly a waste of money, yet we still do it. 

Brighde was interviewed by the popular podcast 'Join us in France' where Annie talked to her about being as vegan traveler in France. Spoiler alert, it's better than most people might expect!

It's been a while and I totally forgot to post this lovely interview that I did with The Plantiful Podcast some months ago!

Consuming pure and clean water is so important not only to satisfy our thirst but also is important to maintain our health. Impure water can make us sick and cause many diseases like cholera and diarrhea. Plastic water bottles are very expensive compared to water from the tap, there is also some evidence to suggest that the plastic in water bottles poses health risks and we all know by now that single use plastic is a scourge  for nature and creates many unfavorable environmental hazards.  ​

The World Vegan Travel team have spent 8 years in Bangkok over the past 10 years and we have seen Bangkok turn from a place where vegan food was available but not necessarily highly accessible to a place with vegan abundance.

We recently went to Rwanda with 57 vegan travelers and Debra, one of our travelers said it best when she said; “This journey to Rwanda was life-changing for me.”

So, why does Rwanda have this impact on so many of its visitors? Why does this small East African country leave its mark in such a profound way on people’s hearts? We asked some of our vegan travelers from July 2019 to explain why, we looked through their thoughts and came up with some recurring themes in their replies.

We met some incredible people and animal organisations on our recent two trips to Rwanda! We love to connect our travelers with the amazing work that is being done in the destinations we visit to gain a deeper understanding of what’s being done to help animals and perhaps be of some support. This time it was inviting these lovely people to lunch to find out more about the work they do. These heroes deserve a shout out and a big thank you for coming to join us.​

In July 2019, Seb and Brighde were lucky enough to take a group of 53 vegans to Rwanda (over two trips), a place that is close to our hearts. Traveling with our guests is such a joy.  It’s obviously great being with life-minded people who also happen to share a love of vegan food, but seeing our travelers’ sensitivity and empathy towards those that suffer is next-level special. This story is one that should be told. It demonstrates one of our travelers’ kind heart and the compassionate heart of the local people of Rwanda.
