Hi, I'm Fiona! I'm beyond excited to help you explore the amazing plant-based food Lisbon (and Portugal) has to offer! A native of Chicago, USA, it was my lifelong dream to live in Europe. After living in Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, I finally made Lisbon my home in 2023. My favorite thing is exploring new places through delicious plant-based food, so upon arriving in Lisbon, my first order of business was to try out all the plant-based food options in my new city. And let me tell you, it's been a seriously delicious job! As a certified holistic nutritionist and plant-based personal chef with a master's degree in hospitality, I love showing others how amazing plant-based food can be. At the same time, I'm no stranger to traveling somewhere new (be it a new city or a new country) and struggling to find plant-based options. Nobody wants to be surrounded by delicious food and have to settle for a sad salad and a plate of fries, am I right?! With Plant-Based Lisbon, my goal is to help you navigate eating plant-based in Lisbon and greater Portugal with ease; get to know the delicious cuisine this wonderful country is known for; and do it all in a stress-free way that allows you to truly enjoy your trip. Whether it's via one of my free guides or custom itineraries, your next incredible plant-based adventure is at your fingertips!

Welcome to my (and hopefully our) adventures! I have lived all over the United States, and I have a passion for the outdoors and budget-travel. My style of travel is easy-going, yet filled with adventure and excitement. I focus on connecting with people and community, as well as immersing myself in the outdoors as much as possible. Finding a balance between these two have led to some amazing memories, and I cannot wait to share them with you. Most recently, I lived in my car for over seven months, while I visited every National Park in the lower 48. I hiked, camped, met amazing people, and hiked some more. I got to experience the parks like a local, because I had no timetable, no flights to catch, no rental car to return, etc. Some parks I stayed only for a few hours, and others for over a week. I chatted with park rangers, stayed with people that lived nearby, and camped with others at some amazing campsites. The travel guides I share give you an "insider" look at the national park, with tips for the best hikes, tricks for finding campsites (but I always include hotel options too), as well as information about the various aspects of the parks. I hope that you will use these guides as tools to fuel your next national park adventure!

Sarah Pollock is a twenty-something-year-old traveler, creative, and spiritualist. She graduated with a degree in Business Information Systems (although she did not enjoy it) and a minor in Sustainability from the University of Florida.

She is also an avid foodie, reader, concert-goer, sitter at coffee shops, introspective thinker, and champion of small businesses.
