Our Vegi-ful Values
Reliability
We care about our customers. You can expect a return email or phone call within hours (if not sooner!) when you leave a message. We love that many of our customers are surprised we respond so quickly—and we would not have it any other way.
Inclusiveness
All are welcome on our tours. Diverse groups allow for more meaningful learning experiences and deeper conversation. We want more of that on all of our journeys.
Compassion
We are a proudly vegan company. We don’t just talk-the-talk – we include as many vegan activities as possible on your tour. And, our conversations often center around animal activism and the vegan lifestyle. In addition, we donate 5% of our profits to large and small animal sanctuaries in the United States.
Amazing Experiences
50% of our bookings represent repeat customers, and 25% of our travelers have joined more than one tour. Indeed, several of our guests have booked six tours in the past year!
MEET KIM GIOVACCO
Founder of Veg Jaunts and Journeys
When I was in my 20s and 30s, I loved nothing more than grabbing a guidebook, booking a flight, and jaunting through some incredible destinations.
As a vegetarian at the time, I never felt I could join an organized tour because I knew food choices would be limited at the restaurants chosen for the group. Then, a few years ago, when I became a vegan, my travel choices were even more limited. Not only for food, but for animal compassion. Many tour companies offer the chance to ride an elephant, or visit a local leather market — but that was not for me.
I loved traveling solo — but I knew there was something missing.
There were places I longed to visit but did not feel quite comfortable traveling alone. I was definitely missing a sense of camaraderie, the “instant friends” a tour provides. And, having everything planned for me.
So, what was a vegan filled with wanderlust to do?
Well, after decades spent on the periphery of the travel industry – working at a well-known map publisher, the Korean tourist office, then the economic development board for Singapore – complemented by my 25 years of personal travel experiences – I founded Veg Jaunts and Journeys in 2016.
I created this company to give travelers like us the kinds of tours and experiences I had missed out on.
My tours and custom vacations are crafted exclusively for travelers who follow a vegan lifestyle. Of course, I seek out all vegan restaurants for us and engage travelers in vegan-friendly activities and excursions along the way – such as visiting an animal sanctuary or taking a vegan market tour, along with activities that reflect the history or culture of the destination.
