Meet your vegan guide
Fielding Russell has been a world-traveler since he was six months old. Born in Japan to American educators, his first visit to a “foreign” country was to the United States. He spent his childhood criss-crossing the Pacific Ocean, living in both countries. At 17, he hiked the Inca Trail in Peru as a sighted-guide for blind students, on a trip led by author and adventurer Erik Weihenmayer. His first job after university was as a backpacking guide in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. In 2017, he moved to Taiwan to teach, and discovered the joys of long-distance cycling. It was in Taiwan that Fielding met the people who would inspire him to become vegetarian, and later, vegan.
Fielding founded Hiking Biking Vegan in 2023, after growing increasingly frustrated with how difficult it was to find vegan options while bike touring and backpacking. He decided to take matters into his own hands—to combine his vegan values with his passion for active travel and outdoor recreation. Since leading his first vegan tour to Ireland in 2024, Fielding has partnered with local guides & vegan businesses in over 20 countries to ensure that Hiking Biking Vegan continues to offer plant-based, cruelty-free active adventures for years to come.
Praise for Fielding’s active vegan travel tours:
“Hiking Biking Vegan is an incredible company with Fielding at the helm. We just returned from THE BEST bike tour of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way and it was one of our favorite trips ever. Every single day was fabulous and we came home so happy and so fulfilled. I would HIGHLY recommend Fielding and Hiking Biking Vegan and we definitely plan to go with him again!”

“The HBV tour to Taiwan was a thoughtful and beautifully tailored experience. Fielding’s warmth, communication, and quick problem-solving made the whole trip feel easy and cared for. The mix of stunning nature, cultural experiences, a fun cooking class, wildlife sightings, and spontaneous group moments (including a sing-along!) made it truly special. And the vegan food, which included family-style dinners and local dishes, was incredible. Highly recommend!”
— Amy, Taiwan 2025
I was very pleased with the food, the accommodations, and the transport. This tour took us to some remote areas, so some were not as high end as others, but indeed some were so very fine. Our final dining was at a retreat in the hills above Taiwan and was so very high end, brought out in courses - very fine dining and what a great treat. I look forward to joining HBV on future tours and recommend them to others.
