Jessica Percy-Campbell Columnist
Jessica Percy-Campbell, aka The Vegan Vacationista, is a Canadian world traveler seeking to discover the best plant-based options on the planet. With the belief that vegan travel shouldn’t have to be a struggle, Jessica sets out to find the best veg-friendly food in the sunniest of destinations.
While she loves the perks (hello plunge pools and room service) of luxury travel, she’s equally comfortable travelling on a student budget. From Aruba to Australia and everywhere in between, Jessica lives to experience fantastic restaurants, scenic hikes, animal sanctuaries, taco trucks, coffee joints and the funkiest beach towns the world has to offer.
Jaden Gonsalves Photographer
Jaden Gonsalves loves adventure, whether that means climbing volcanoes in Costa Rica’s Rincón de la Vieja National Park or free-diving in the Turks and Caicos. He’s test-driven several cameras including the FujiFilm FinePix XP70, the FujiFilm FinePix S1 Super Zoom,Nikon D90 and Lumix Panasonic DMC cameras.
His secret for getting the best shots? Find a unique perspective–even if that means crawling through dirt or hanging upside down. He welcomes gear (and chocolate) for review. And, since he’s a teen, you can expect 100% honest feedback.
