• Additional food + alcohol outside of set meals
• Personal shopping + souvenirs

Join professional vegan food + travel content creator Stefanie Stevens on an all-inclusive Thailand getaway! From the bustling streets of Bangkok to the serene shores of Koh Phangan, this adventure blends culture, wellness, creativity and community–while celebrating the best of plant-based living.

You’ll stay in thoughtfully chosen, fully vegan accommodations, from a boutique bed and breakfast to a restorative yoga and wellness retreat famous for its daily yoga and meditation classes, plant-based buffet, and inviting amenities in a lush jungle setting. Together we’ll explore the art of Thai cuisine in a hands-on vegan cooking class, wander through jungle trails to hidden waterfalls, attend lively sunset drum circles on the beach, tour a Buddhist temple, and spend quality time with elephants at a respected, ethical sanctuary.

One of the most rewarding parts of immersing yourself in new, exciting experiences and environments is channeling your creativity and returning home with a collection of memories that last forever. Throughout the trip, Stefanie will share her skills and techniques to guide you in capturing stunning photos and videos of your journey using just your phone and simple, affordable equipment. Whether you’d like to master the fear of filming in public, get more comfortable speaking on camera, practice shooting solo, or personally document your experiences in an authentic yet polished way, she’s excited to share her wealth of knowledge to bring your creative visions to life! (Since this is an extra-special, first trip of many, you’ll also see Stefanie at work as she shoots content of the food, amenities and experiences as marketing material for future getaways!)

An additional note: If your vibe involves more unplugging and being fully in the moment, that’s welcome, too! There’s no pressure to create–this journey is about supporting your individual needs, however that may look for you.

Each day offers a chance to explore Thailand in a way that feels right to you, from wandering hidden trails and markets to diving into workshops, classes, or cultural experiences, and meeting like-minded travelers who share a passion for plant-based living along the way. Choose adventure, rest, creativity, or all of the above, immersing yourself in experiences consistent with your values. Stefanie has designed this trip to nurture rejuvenation, reflection and inspiration in each member of her group that will support growth and self discovery–long after the journey ends.
