Kim Giovacco traveled as a vegetarian in her 20's and 30's, but never felt she could join an organized tour because of the food choices. Then when she became vegan, her 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 her.

In 2016, she combined her 25 years of professional and personal travel experiences to found Veg Jaunts and Journeys.  She created the company to give travelers the kinds of tours and experiences she had missed out on.

Her tours and custom vacations are crafted exclusively for travelers who follow a vegan lifestyle. She seeks out all-vegan restaurants and engages 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.
