    In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Dr. Katie Thompson, Programme Director for Elephants Alive, a conservation organisation doing deeply important work to protect elephants in the Greater Kruger region and to help reduce human–elephant conflict in ways that support both wildlife and local communities.
    This is a thoughtful and hopeful conversation, but it also touches on the reality that conservation work can be complex and sometimes imperfect. Katie herself is vegan, deeply committed to animal protection, and brings so much care, intelligence, and compassion to this work. I’d really invite you to listen with curiosity and openness as we explore what it means to protect elephants, ecosystems, and the people living alongside them.
    There are a lot of places, organisations, and resources mentioned in this episode, so do check the show notes and the blog post for all the details.

    Today’s episode is a little different — and a lot of fun. I’m joined by my dear friend Heather, and we’re recapping our recent milestone birthday trip to Mexico, where we stayed at the stunning plant-based resort, Palmaïa, just south of Cancún in Playa del Carmen.

    We talk about everything — the fully vegan restaurants, the spa experience that completely spoiled us, beach days with margaritas, spider monkeys in the jungle canopy, and yes… even the sargassum situation.

    If you’ve ever wondered what a luxury, plant-forward, all-inclusive experience is really like — this episode is for you.

    In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Mena Espejel — CEO, founder, and tour leader at Travelling Herbivore, Mexico City’s first 100% vegan and vegetarian tour company.
    If you’ve ever wondered what ethical, grassroots, truly local vegan travel looks like — this episode is going to inspire you.
    I recently celebrated my 50th birthday in Mexico City and had the absolute joy of joining one of Mena’s street food tours. It completely changed the way I see the city — from hyper-local vegan taco stalls and activist-led restaurants, to family-run obsidian workshops near Teotihuacan, to thoughtful wildlife experiences in Baja California.
    In this conversation, we talk about:
    The growth of the vegan scene in Mexico City
    How veganism intersects with activism, feminism, and anti-speciesism
    Responsible whale watching and wildlife tourism
    Off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods you should absolutely visit

    And of course… where to eat the best vegan tacos, pozole, tortas, and tiramisu in the city.

    In today’s episode, we’re exploring the connection between veganism, Buddhism, and travel.

    I’m joined by Andrea Diaz, Executive Director of Dharma Voices for Animals — the only international Buddhist animal rights advocacy organization. We talk about how Buddhist teachings on non-harm intersect with plant-based living across Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam, and how travelers can engage with these traditions through temple stays, mindful meals, and compassionate food experiences.

    Andrea also shares her personal journey — from animal rights investigations to discovering meditation and Buddhism — and how it all came together in her work today.

  • Luxury Vegan Hotels | Expert Insider on Transforming Travel | Camilla Parmigiani

    Today I’m joined by Verde Camilla Parmigiani — founder of Vegan Set Hospitality Boutique and a true specialist in luxury vegan hospitality.

    Camilla has nearly 20 years of experience in the hotel industry, working her way up from front desk to Deputy Director in four- and five-star properties. After becoming vegan, she began to notice how poorly understood vegan guests were in luxury spaces — and that realization led her to create Vegan Set in 2016.

    Today, she consults with hotels around the world to help them design elevated, fully integrated plant-based guest experiences — from food and beverage to staff training and service culture.

    She has also just released her brand-new book, a professional guide to vegan guest experience in the luxury hospitality sector, and we’ll be talking about that and so much more.
