I write about travel, social justice issues, animals, and all things vegan. My travel writing career began over a decade ago ago and I love learning about different cultures around the world from locals and meeting animals in the wild. I do what I can to protect our beautiful earth and educate others through my writing. As the saying goes, leave nothing but footprints. My articles have been published in The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, Eater, Travel and Leisure, Fodor’s Travel, The Beet, Mental Floss, Yahoo, Grok Nation, The Toronto Star, Today’s Parent Magazine, The Canadian Jewish News, WestJet Magazine, Sierra Magazine, and many more. I currently write a travel column at Forbes; www.forbes.com/sites/miriamporter/

I have lived in New York City and Los Angeles and currently reside in Toronto with my son Noah (my favorite travel buddy) and our rescued furry friends. You can find me on TikTok making videos of my adventures - come say hi!
