Fiona Lazar
Lives in Lisbon, Portugal
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!

Gabe and Manu
Lives in Boston, MA, USA
Hi! We're Gabe and Manu. Do you find yourself idly searching Google flights with destination “Anywhere”? Do you spend your workdays daydreaming of random itineraries and mapping out the best way from Sofia, Bulgaria to Prístina, Kosovo? Yes? Then you’re just like us and would probably love some of the trips we’ve planned. No? Then maybe you hate travel planning and have come to just the right place. We are seasoned travelers who have been to over 50 countries. But we hate checking boxes and we are not trying to hit all the major attractions. If you want to run from the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame, we may not be the right guide for you. If you want to hit up the Hard Rock Cafe in Yerevan on a Thursday to watch a Filipino cover band play Nirvana, then I think you’ll like our style. We know we’re all strapped for time and it’s hard to really get to know a place in 7-10 days, but we are firm believers that it is possible. In our travels we try to seek out those places where you will catch a slice of local life. Where you will look around you and think to yourself, “I am a long way from home.” We love that feeling and even if you’ve never had that opportunity, we think when you feel it you will fall in love with travel too. So, please take a look at some of the itineraries we have to offer or let us know if you’d like something custom. We love building itineraries (almost) as much as we like traveling. Wheels up!

Sarah Pollock
Lives in Madrid, Spain
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. Since embarking on her first trip abroad to Australia and New Zealand at 15 years old, she has since visited 25 countries and counting- most of them solo. She is also an avid foodie, reader, concert-goer, sitter at coffee shops, introspective thinker, and champion of small businesses. She prides herself on her romantic and nostalgic approach to seeing the world, which is reflected in the hidden gem-filled and slightly sentimental tone of her writing and recommendations. She recently spent this past school year splitting time between Tel Aviv and Be’er Sheva, Israel; teaching English to underrepresented and underprivileged children in both Hebrew and Arabic-speaking schools. She is currently continuing this work in Madrid. For more personal thoughts and musings and present updates on where she is in the world and how she’s feeling about it, consider subscribing to her bi-weekly travel newsletter, Postcards. Other subject matters, though all undoubtedly influenced by her experience living abroad, are explored through her primary publication, Older Sister (both linked in bio).

Since then, I've become obsessed with planning perfect trips, finding hidden gems, and hitting all the highlights without wasting any time. For the past 10 years, I've been a tour guide, leading trips all over the world, and worked at a travel agency where I created trips.
