Vegiventures

Brought up in Hertfordshire, as a teenager Nigel worked in Switzerland and then Germany. This formative experience gave him a love of travel and foreign tongues. He then trained in international hotel management and tourism and worked in these industries for a while. During a gap year in 1975 he discovered macrobiotics and Buddhism and was led twice to Machupicchu, but it was yoga that took over and for the next 7 years he studied and taught Sivananda Yoga. In the 80’s Nigel went back to catering, running his own veggie restaurant in Essex and teaching vegetarian cooking, while dreaming of his next step, VegiVentures, which he ran full-time for 29 years. Nigel is now semi-retired and lives in the Norfolk village of Castle Acre (near Swaffham). He is passionate about organic food and gardening, sailing, green politics and yoga.

30 years ago VegiVentures began with a dream. I simply love to travel and also to eat well. I dreamt of sharing this vision by providing holidays with creative, healthy food and optional yoga classes. In 1988, as a trained chef, yoga teacher and travel rep, I combined my skills and since then have organised holidays in 24 countries. I am now semi-retired, happily practicing yoga and growing pumpkins. Some holidays are still running e.g. the Christmas Houseparty continues with our 4-night event in rural Gloucestershire. We may occasionally run other holidays in the future. If you would like to be kept up to date, please subscribe to our mailing list.
