Welcome to another episode of the World Vegan Travel Podcast! I’m Brighde, and today, we have a truly inspiring guest joining us—Bert Pieters. Bert is the chef, farmer, and host behind Hektor, a unique vegan guesthouse located on the breathtaking volcanic island of Lanzarote, Spain.

In this episode, we dive into Bert’s journey from a fast-paced career in advertising to creating a tranquil, plant-based retreat that seamlessly blends art, agriculture, and sustainability. We’ll hear about why Lanzarote, with its striking landscapes and rich energy, became the perfect place to bring this vision to life.

Bert also shares how Hektor offers more than just a stay—it’s an immersive experience, featuring beautifully themed suites, delicious plant-based cuisine, and even rescued animals that add to the charm. We discuss Lanzarote’s natural beauty, its commitment to sustainable tourism, and why this island is an ideal destination for eco-conscious travelers.

So, whether you’re a vegan traveler, a sustainability enthusiast, or simply someone looking for a unique travel experience, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Let’s get started!
