Meet Martin

Welcome to GoVegan Travel!

Hi, I’m Martin, a British vegan lucky enough to call Southeast Asia, and particular, Thailand, home since 2008. With over 30 years of experience leading group tours across India, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, Central America, and North Africa, I bring a deep passion and expertise to every journey.

Before founding GoVegan Travel, I worked with and for some of the UK and Europe’s top tour operators, helping thousands of travellers create lifelong memories. Now, I’m thrilled to channel that experience into crafting vegan-friendly adventures to some of my favourite destinations, many of which come highly recommended by happy past customers.

At GoVegan Travel, we believe travel should be for everyone. Whether you’re a lifelong vegan, curious about plant-based living, exploring health-conscious choices, or simply looking to travel a vegan friend or family member, our trips are designed to make you feel welcome and inspired. My goal is to combine breathtaking destinations, incredible people, and mouthwatering local vegan meals into experiences that align with your values and lifestyle.

Travelling with us is about more than just seeing the sights or snapping Instagram photos, it’s about creating meaningful stories, forming lasting connections, and returning home with cherished memories and a renewed love for vegan group travel.

Let’s explore the world, one amazing vegan adventure at a time!

Why we love Small Group Tours

Why we love Small
Group
Tours

and why we think you will too

Social Interaction​

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.

Superior Service

With smaller groups, our tour leaders are better able to give more individual attention and answer questions more thoroughly.

Flexibility

Small group tours offer flexibility and experiences not available to larger groups, and are able to access off-the-beaten-path destinations and accommodate last-minute changes to suit the group's interests.

Local Interaction

Smaller group tours are able to visit and interact with the local community more easily, respect local customs, engage in meaningful exchanges with locals, and support small businesses and organizations in the community.

Vegan Travel, Redefined!

Our goal is simple – to provide relaxed, responsible travel for vegans, vegetarians, and the vegan-curious, offering a chance to explore the world without compromising dietary or ethical values.

We believe immersive travel should be about discovering new cultures, meeting incredible people, and having unforgettable adventures, all while staying true to your lifestyle.

Our tours include vegan-friendly accommodations, meals, and companions, with plenty of flexibility for exploration.

From guided cultural experiences to optional activities like zip-lining or volunteering, every aspect of your journey is designed to align with your values.

To offer more freedom, we don’t include every meal. Instead, we provide vegan guides and free time, allowing you to discover new flavours and enjoy meals at your own pace, whether relaxing or venturing out.

Travel with us for the perfect balance of vegan-friendly adventures and the freedom to explore on your terms!
