From this little corner of the internet, our purpose is to make the plant-based lifestyle accessible to everyone.
We’ve been going at it for longer than six years, and we feel more connected than ever with the world around us.
That’s why we want to share a bit of our experience with others and hopefully impact lives in a positive way.
I’m Alex and I started Vegan Foundry sometime around 2019 while living in a small city called Aveiro, in Portugal.
I was working remotely at the time as a freelancer, but after losing one of my biggest clients and going through a rough period, I took a leap of faith and created my own little project.
By the time I was building Vegan Foundry, Cláudia, my partner, was working as a physiotherapist.
We didn’t know at the time whether this little project would work, but about a year later, we ended up joining hands, realizing we could make this work full-time for both of us.
Since then, we’ve been experiencing new places and cultures, completely embracing the unknown.
Our first destination was a small mountain village called Bansko, in Bulgaria. It’s not the typical remote village in the mountains.
It’s a place with all sorts of cool people from different countries across the world and where we made many friends.
Fast-forward several months, our dream to see the world brought us to Southeast Asia, specifically Thailand.
We fell in love with the country and its people. We were amazed at the vegan scene in Chiang Mai and entrenched by the blissful tranquility in Koh Lanta.
It’s also where we found the inspiration to create vegan recipes and bring them to your screen.
