When people travel, one of the ways they enjoy a new destination is through food. Yet, as a vegan, this can be a challenge. Enter vegan travel expert, Rebecca Gade Sawicki.

Rebecca is the creator of Veggies Abroad, travel blog. Veggies Abroad was born from her love of travel, and the question she gets asked after every trip, "What in the world did you eat?" Her blog features vegan travel guides, practical travel tips, resources, and vegan lifestyle content.

Rebecca dealt with several food sensitivities which caused countless problems. It was her food issues that led her on a journey of discovery that has opened her two greatest passions: food and travel.

With food issues at the forefront, she explored the connection between food and athletic performance. As a runner, she was anxious to find ways to improve her performance in a healthy way.

She'll be the first to admit she didn't always eat the healthiest, but as she discovered the power of food as medicine, she took the necessary steps to eat as healthy as possible.

The further into her research, the more the veils were lifted. She discovered the cruelty in the animal agriculture. Yet, it took a while to accept that dairy was equally as bad as meat.

Rebecca teaches people to fully engage all five senses to totally immerse yourself in the experience of a delicious meal, appetizer, or dessert.

Aside from being vegan, Rebecca is gluten free and sensitive to a slew of things, so people assume once she leaves her home, starvation must occur. She is determined to show people all the amazing vegan food the world has to offer.

Through her blog, she wants to connect readers with the stories behind the amazing food with interviews from great vegan chefs and entrepreneurs.
