About VanderlustJourney
Welcome to our vegan travel blog! We are Lynn & Daniel, both driven by a passion for travel and committed to a plant-based lifestyle.
How Our Vegan Travel Blog Started
The idea to this vegan travel blog first came up while planning our trip to Madeira in March 2023 (read about it here and here). We were surprised by how little info we could find about vegan food options on the island, especially outside of its capital. So, we thought, why not share the info ourselves? And so, VanderlustJourney was born!
For both of us, travel holds a significant place in our lives, and we try to incorporate it as much as possible between our full-time jobs.
Why Vegan?
“The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world.”
Starting to live in alignment with our values has been one of the best choices we’ve ever made. If we can live healthy and happy lives without harming others – why wouldn’t we?
The main reason we started this vegan travel blog was to show just how accessible and fun a vegan lifestyle can be, wherever you are in the world. No matter where we are in the world, we’ve discovered new plant-based meals, met inspiring people and gathered unforgettable memories – all without compromising our values.
This journey has opened our eyes and hearts in so many ways, and we’re excited to keep exploring and sharing with others who care about animals, the planet, and mindful living.
If you’re curious about veganism, have questions, or want to share your own journey, we’d love to hear from you! It’s one of our favorite topics to talk about 🙂
Our Story
Lynn caught the travel bug early in life. After spending 3 months in South Africa at the age of 19, her passion for exploring new corners of the world has only deepened. She’s the one responsible for the countless sunrise and animal photos in every place we travel to and her deepest fear is to run out of books during a long-distance flight.
Daniel’s love of new experiences has led him to live in multiple countries, such as Australia, South Africa, England and Luxembourg. He is the culinary artist of the team, on a mission to prove that veganism is not just a diet but a vibrant and flavorful way of life. Outside the kitchen, you’ll find him engaged in sports, video editing, or researching new hiking trails for our upcoming travel adventures.
