About me

Hi there!

Let’s start with
an introduction

Hey there, and welcome! My name is Caroline, I am a self-proclaimed foodie with a love for writing & photography!

As paradoxical as it might sound, travel has always been “home” for me. At the age of 17, fueled by a passion to explore and boundless curiosity I embarked on my first year-long solo trip to China.

The first three days were utterly terrifying; the thought of going out into the smog-ridden city – jam-packed with people everywhere – was almost too much to bear. Then something clicked, I let go of my expectations, my cultural biases and opted to fully embrace the experience. It was the best year of my life and taught me the value of cultural immersion which is one of the guiding principles of this travel blog.

Many years and 60 countries later, the travel blog Veggie Wayfarer was born. It started as a creative outlet while I worked full-time in (digital) marketing.

My passion for writing and photography soon ensured I had a plethora of in-depth travel guides (brevity is not my forte) and vegetarian food guides. 

I am extremely grateful for the rare privilege my job provides me. Spending long stretches of time exploring a place is a true luxury. Having time to capture the essence of a city, to feel what makes a destination tick and to gain a deeper cultural understanding is is my kind of travel. That information is poured lovingly into this blog, which I hope provides you with a source of endless inspiration. 

Countries I would absolutely recommend to visit are: Iran for architecture & hospitality, Italy for food (a veritable cliché, it’s true) and Belgium for the castles.

Your turn!
