On today’s episode, we’ll be talking to Sam and Veren, vegan travel bloggers and the folks behind the newly released ebook ‘Alternative Travelers House Sitting Handbook’. They’re originally from New York City and lived for 2 years in Madrid, Spain. Now, they are full time traveling digital nomads and house sitters. In their work they show that neither traveling nor eating vegan has to be expensive or difficult. They publish extensive (budget-friendly) vegan guides on each place they visit and share tips and strategies on how to travel via house sitting.
