Vegan Foodie Travel was started by Verena Erhart out of a love for travel, food and showing people the world.

She has worked as a tour guide for years, leading group trips in Europe (bus tours for teenagers and river cruises for seniors) and local tours in NYC with Vegan Tours NY . Previous to starting her own tour business, she worked in international affairs and holds a degree in communications, anthropology and development studies.

She loves animals, loves to travel the world (this is where she’s been so far), to cook, spend time in nature with her husband Andreas and dog Miso. She also loves to taste and learn about wine and beer and also runs beer tours.

 A native of Austria, she speaks fluent German, as well as good Spanish, some Italian and a little bit of French. She’s lived in New York for 13 years and still finds new things to do.

She is a Certified Vegan Life Coach through the Main Street Vegan Academy, a certified beer server (studying for Certified Cicerone) and has a wine certification through WSET (level 2, studying towards level 3).
