I’ve been vegan since 2010 when I read Jonathan Safran Foer’s book Eating Animals. People often assume eating vegan while traveling is challenging, and it can be. But I’ve found hosts throughout the world to be beautifully accommodating. It's touching. Are you #vegan? https://t.co/7s5k2KhRyT

What’s a hiking book you’ve enjoyed reading? One of my favorites is A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson. It tells the story of his reconnection with nature when he walked the Appalachian Trail — all 2,100-miles of it. #Hiking
