He spent years exploring how veganism shows up across food, culture, travel, and everyday life, and he brings a refreshing, grounded perspective to what it really means to live and travel consciously.He shares his  journey growing up in California’s Bay Area, how family and culture shaped his relationship with food, and how that eventually led him to a plant-based lifestyle rooted in natural, whole foods. We also talk about navigating travel, relationships, and community as a vegan, challenging stereotypes, and what he looks for when discovering meaningful vegan food experiences on the road.This conversation goes beyond what’s on the plate — it’s about curiosity, openness, and connection, whether you’re traveling across the world or rethinking how you show up in your everyday life.There are lots of places, ideas, and resources mentioned in this episode, so be sure to check out the show notes and the blog post for all the details.🌴 Our Thailand 2027 vegan group trip is open!Join us for an unforgettable journey filled with vibrant markets, stunning temples, incredible plant-based cuisine, and meaningful cultural experiences — all with a small group of like-minded travelers.👉 Get Limited Time Early Bird Special Offer📬 Join our newsletter Check out our website | Check out all the podcast show notes | Follow us on Instagram
