Diana Edelman AKA Vegans, Baby

Diana Edelman AKA Vegans, Baby I'm Diana Edelman, freelance journalist, TV personality, and one of the most trusted voices in vegan travel.

📍NYC 🌱 Custom vegan travel planner and advisor powered by FORA 🌱 Award-winning plant-based travel + food curator 🏆 Beard judge 📺 TV host 🌱 Vegan travel, food and life 📧[email protected] I quit my PR career to backpack solo through Europe and Africa, worked in elephant conservation in Thailand, then landed in Las Vegas where I accidentally became the city's go-to vegan food authority. I curated plant-based dinners at the James Beard House, ran the plant-based activation at Life is Beautiful, and created Vegan Dining Month (2018 to 2024), the first large-scale vegan dining celebration in the US. I'm regularly on TV sharing vegan tips, speak at conferences on tourism and vegan living, and served as a James Beard Judge in 2025. I also curated a Climate Week event with Al Gore in the room, because life is unexpected and wonderful. Vegans, Baby is where I share everything I know about vegan travel.

It's getting close to the holidays, which means if you haven't booked your trip, you're running out of options. I'm a luxury travel advisor and happy to help!

Why book with me?

Planning takes time.

I handle the research and logistics so you don't have to. Through my industry connections, I can often secure perks you won't get booking direct, like room upgrades, resort credits, or early check-in. Everything is tailored to your budget and style.

You get security and peace of mind when you fly.

Booking your flights with me means one point of contact for your whole trip. Often, I can find rates that aren't available to the public. If a flight gets delayed or canceled, you've got 24/7 emergency support that can immediately rebook you, and I can coordinate any affected hotel or activity plans, rather than you managing it solo on hold with an airline.

Why book with me instead of credit card or other travel portals?

Perks aside, you get a dedicated advisor who knows your preferences, not a call center. If something goes wrong, you call ME, not a support line, and I advocate for you until it's fixed.

Let's go!

Right now, I'm happy to offer all of my services complimentary (although hotel and cruise bookings are ALWAYS complimentary) if you book before the end of the year.

Interested? Send me a DM or email [email protected] and let's get planning!

Cape Town 🇿🇦 is one of the most breathtaking destinations on the planet, but traveling there thoughtfully means looking beyond standard itineraries.

In my latest destination spotlight for Fora I dive into the ethical, conscious side of Cape Town that includes zero-waste culinary experiences, plant-forward fine dining, and immersive cultural exploration that respects local communities and wildlife.

True luxury in travel today is not just about where you stay. It is about how your presence impacts the place you are visiting. (It's my entire mission with my concierge travel planning business, Altered Atlas.)

Whether you are planning a future South Africa trip or simply exploring how to align your travels with your values, you can read the full guide here ➡️ https://www.foratravel.com/trip-reports/K8ES6D/destination-spotlight-exploring-the-ethical-side-of-cape-town-diana-edelman

PS - If you've been dreaming of Cape Town and safari, my award-winning tour itinerary is now available as a private bookable journey! -- https://alteredatlas.com/journeys

There’s a new way to book hotels with me.

My Client Portal lets you browse hotels, compare rates and perks, and book on your own. It’s great for a last-minute overnight, a weekend away, or a trip where you already know what you’re looking for. I’ll still be your advisor and advocate
throughout your trip.

Not every hotel is available yet — so if you don’t see the hotel you’re looking for, send me a message. I can always check for you.

Fill out my client intake form with your email or phone number, and I’ll get you set up with access. LMK 👇👇 if you want the linky below.

I posted a month ago about my upcoming award-winning vegan trip to South Africa March 7 - 16, 2027. I know there was a lot of interest. There are only 2 ROOMS LEFT.

Come join what Newsweek called "a trip worth the wait" (2022) and be a part of one of the top 5 vegan African safaris (so says PETA).

This trip has my heart, and for this third time, I gave it a refresh with a more intersectional vegan lens. So, yes, the trip is fully vegan, but it also focuses on the impact apartheid had on communities and equality, as well as the importance of conservation, slowing climate change, and sustainability.

And, of course, if you're a foodie, this is THE foodie experience you'll be talking about forever. There's a 14-dish Pan-African welcome dinner, a multi-course meal with fresh kelp from the ocean in every dish, an extravagant dinner at one of the top 50 restaurants in the world, and a safari filled with incredible plant-based meals and magical experiences.

I could talk about how much I love this itinerary forever, and how going on safari will CHANGE YOUR LIFE, but instead, I'm just going to request if you'd like information to comment below and I'll send you the link!

Got questions? Drop them below. And, share this with someone who would love to come. Spaces close in two weeks.
