Welcome to Justin Plus Lauren!

Justin Plus Lauren is a travel blog written by a Canadian girl named Lauren. Follow along as I slowly make my way around the world.

I started this blog as an online scrapbook for my relationship with Justin.

While we still make lots of memories together, the blog has really transformed since then.

What started as a couple’s travel blog is now my personal embrace of a life filled with travel. Sometimes I’ll be traveling with Justin, sometimes I’ll be traveling with family or friends, and sometimes I’ll be traveling on my own as a solo female traveler.

I’m a part-time traveler, spending most of my time living in the Toronto area and traveling as much as I possibly can. I love nature, beautiful scenery, mountains, beaches, and all outdoor and urban adventures. If you’d like to read more about me please visit the about page. 

I write extensively about vegan travel. I’m passionate about my health, the environment, and animal welfare. It’s my goal to show that it isn’t difficult to travel on a plant-based diet. I write guides about the food that I eat as I travel, which is always vegan.

In January 2019, I made the decision to take this travel blog full time and I’m now a full time travel blogger!

Stumbling upon a new blog can be overwhelming, so I’ve put together a list of where to start. If you’d like to connect with me or you have any questions, please email us at: justinpluslauren@gmail.com .

Birthdays: Lauren – June / Justin – September
Our Anniversary: July 30, 2012

Kind Travel

I focus on traveling responsibly. Whether it’s ensuring that our travels are as environmentally conscious as possible or determining whether or not wildlife isn’t harmed, I strive to promote eco-friendly travel experiences. Please read more about the topics of eco-tourism, responsible wildlife tourism, and volunteer travel stories.


Vegan Travel

I choose a plant-based lifestyle. I was raised as a vegetarian and went vegan a number of years ago. Here’s a blog post where I write all about my path to veganism. I know that vegan travel can be a challenge at times, so I aim to provide you as much information as possible about making vegan travel easy. I find so much delicious vegetarian and vegan food all over the world.
