Vegan Trips with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
For over a decade, I’ve been hosting all-inclusive trips thoughtfully curated to provide high-quality, high-touch experiences. These luxury adventures focus on regional plant-based cuisine, cruelty-free activities, and unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime moments. Expect mouth-watering meals, animal-focused outings and sanctuary visits, dedicated time with me, and a compassionate group of like-minded travelers.
I’m proud to partner with my dear friends and travel experts, Brighde Reed and Sebastien Ranger of World Vegan Travel. Their deep expertise, attention to detail, and passion for meaningful travel help make these journeys truly extraordinary. Join me on any of our upcoming trips in 2026, and get ready for 2027!
