Why a Plant Based Travel Blog?

Both born and raised in New Zealand, we’ve set out on a mission to discover and show you the most exciting places for yummy, delicious, and absolutely mouth-watering vegan food. All while having awesome adventures along the way, both locally and across the globe! So whether you’re travelling, or just wanting a list of recommendations in your own area, we’ve got your back.  

We originally created Plant Based Escape because as vegan backpackers, we often had a hard time finding great vegan food. We wanted to explore areas that weren’t as touristy or rely on expensive Western restaurants. Allowing us to experience the local cuisines, and not at the price of an arm or a leg! 

Our style of travel is on the cheaper side as we find this encouraged us to meet like-minded travellers and have more authentic experiences in the countries that we visited. Having travelled in many different ways, from solo travel to school trips and family holidays. We have experienced it all. The good, the bad and the ugly. So don’t stress, you’re in safe hands now. 

We’ve set this blog up as a sort of tips and tricks travel guide for other budget adventurers who might have similar struggles to us. Here we will provide all the advice and pointers so that you too can have full bellies and safe, enjoyable travels.

As we venture around we will be adding in new destinations and recommendations for you to check out. Follow along on our journey where we reveal incredible and affordable experiences wherever we visit. Click here to read our most recent blog posts.

Join the adventure and keep up with our socials.
