Hello! I’m Kim, Founder and Chief Tour Guide of Veg Jaunts and Journeys, and my passion is exploring other cultures. Veg Jaunts and Journeys is both a tour company and travel agency, specializing in vegan tours and vegan travel.

I love to organize activity-packed, reasonably-priced vegan trips!

I’ve traveled to 40 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America, either alone or with small groups of travelers. I handled all the planning and details. I’m overflowing with ideas for vegan travel. Please explore this site to learn about some of the exciting and endless possibilities for compassionate vegan traveling, both in small groups and independently.

My university degree is in geography, and I’ve worked in the travel and tourism industry for the Korean tourist office, a map and atlas publisher, Walt Disney Travel Company, and for 18 years at Singapore’s economic development board. In addition to running Veg Jaunts and Journeys, I’m very active in the vegan community of Asheville, NC, and live nearby in a tiny house community.

I’m a global citizen who is passionate about showing others a simple way of traveling.

  • If you’re a new traveler, I’d love to show you how to travel confidently. Joining our small groups to discover all the exciting new vegan places sprouting up around the world is a perfect place to start.
  • If you’re an experienced traveler, I’d be thrilled to plan a customized itinerary for you! Let me know where you’d like to visit, or ask me for suggestions.

Why vegan tours?

Small group tours make traveling as a vegan easy! Exploring vegan-friendly destinations is thrilling. Meeting fellow international vegans is a bonus.

Previously I never took a group tour. I wouldn’t waste money on non-vegan food. Most importantly, I refused to support attractions that exploited animals.

The way I wanted to travel didn’t exist. So I created my own tours! Our groups see the major sites, but compassionately. We eat in vegan restaurants. When available, we visit true animal sanctuaries.  We must be kind to the environment. Therefore, we mostly use public transportation. No 50 person buses for our groups! Supporting local vegan businesses is important to us. We enjoy activities you can’t do on your own, such as special group cooking classes and food walking tours.

Please join us!

Prefer to travel on your own? I can help you plan and book the vegan vacation of your dreams.
