Travel should be responsible, compassionate, and respectful, but also fun and hassle-free. Whether you’re travelling solo or with friends, we make sure every moment for our vegans and plant-based travellers is stress-free, with great food, great people, and great experiences.
We love discovering local cultures, trying amazing plant-based dishes, and meeting new people along the way. Our tours are relaxed, inclusive, and organised so you can enjoy the experience without worrying about the details.
Martin hosts every tour and brings 25 years of group travel management across Asia and the Middle East. Ae handles operations and supplier relationships behind the scenes. Between them, nothing is overlooked.
In 2011, after learning our daughter Yaya was on the way, we decided it was time to settle down in Thailand. I moved into a management role with Tucan Travel, and from 2012 to 2020, Ae and I ran the company’s Asia operations together. I focused on tour design and traveller experience, whilst Ae managed suppliers, logistics, and the day to day organisation behind the scenes.
I became vegan in 2015, and after the Covid years we launched GoVegan Travel. It brings together decades of tour experience with small group travel designed specifically for vegans, vegetarians, and the vegan curious. Our trips are built to feel relaxed, social, and easy, so travellers can focus on the experience rather than worrying about the basics.
We’re Martin and Ae, the husband and wife team behind GoVegan Travel.
I’m Martin, originally from near Manchester in the UK. I’ve spent more than 30 years leading group tours across Europe, Asia, North Africa, and Central America. In 2008, whilst visiting family in Thailand, I met Ae. A few years later, I began leading tours around Southeast Asia for Tucan Travel.

Quality always comes first for us. We’re all about creating travel experiences that are tailored to you and your values. It’s never about chasing rapid growth or big profits, it’s about making sure every journey is unforgettable.
We personally design and operate every tour in destinations we know and love from first-hand experience. We don’t simply farm out our tours to unknown local operators, as some do, staying hands-on means every detail meets our standards, unnecessary costs are cut, and the savings go straight to you.

Small groups help create a better atmosphere and dynamics, with a reduced likelihood of smaller cliques forming. This often leads to closer friendships and long-term connections.
