Hi everyone, and welcome back to The World Vegan Travel Podcast!
We’re continuing our special mini-series featuring episodes from our dear friend and travel partner Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, host of the Food for Thought podcast. While we take a short pause from new episodes, we’re thrilled to share Colleen’s work with you—it’s thoughtful, practical, and a perfect fit for the spirit of World Vegan Travel.
In today’s episode, Colleen reflects on our first-ever group trips to Japan back in 2024, sharing her insights into vegan travel in a country where food, culture, and tradition are deeply intertwined. You’ll hear about the cultural nuances, culinary challenges, and what makes Japan such a fascinating destination for compassionate travelers.
