He Loves To Make Vietnamese Spring Rolls, But There Is More…

I wanted to know more about Andres, other than his great skills in the kitchen, so I asked him to please tell us a little more about himself.  Here is what he had to say…

“My name is Andrés, I’m 25 years young and an animal rights activist from Perú.  Since my early days, I had a passion for cooking, writing, business, and philosophy.

I believe people have 2 lives: the second one starts when we realize we only have one, as Confucious said. Hence, my life begins on November 3rd, 2017 – when I went vegan and decided to use my passions to advocate for the animals. So, I created Andrés With Words in early 2018 – where my contributors and I write about ethics, especially veganism.  I worked for my first vegan-led vegan startup (VegReady) in December 2018, where I stayed for a year and a half – living with my teammates in a plant-based startup incubator in Lima, Perú-and adopted a business mindset to bring veganism to the masses.  I started Andrés With Plants in September 2019, which is my vegan activism account.  I cook, share my story as an activist, and share my thoughts with the rest of the world. With my influencer status, I freelanced as a Social Media Manager and Editorial Director for other companies, such as VeganHashtag and Vegan Health Pack. I started a podcast in 2020 called Andrestimated, where I interview accomplished animal rights activists and educated myself on the meaning behind animal advocacy. Currently on episode 10.

I’m aware of the moments of specific peaks in my life. And I’m currently in one, working for WisdomHaus.org – a demonstration community in Lima, Perú for intentional 21st-century living, built upon the simple Dean Ornish lifestyle program for disease-free longevity, while profoundly addressing the major causes of global warming and creating an activist nod. So, not only can non-vegans come over to live with healthy, inspiring vegans, but we foster their inner vegan activists and are aware of the great service they can do for this world.

So, my life mission is to leave this world a better place by removing animal exploitation from our supply chains and learning to live together.”
