#162: Vegan Tourism and Travel Tales with Diana Edelman
When you think of tourism, what comes to mind? Like how Paris, Texas has an Eiffel Tower with a cowboy hat on top? Or how some cities base their entire economy around one major event, like Williamsport, Pennsylvania does with the Little League World Series? Well, Diana Edelman, founder of Vegans, Baby!, has a different type of tourism.
Diana is, in her own words, a former publicist-turned-travel-blogger-turned-elephant-rescuer-turned-writer and frequent television personality. She’s also set up plenty of vegan tourism events in multiple cities.
We’re talking all about the moment she decided to go vegan, something surprising about veganism, what it looks like setting up these events, and how she’s built her brand.
