Hello friends!
Some words about me
My name is Robb R. Robson. I am dedicated to spreading the word about my lifestyle, advising and informing about the benefits of veganism for all of us.
I have traveled to more than 75 major cities in the world studying and researching about veganism, collecting a lot of valuable stories, and I have founded a 100% vegan restaurant and hotel in Barranquilla, Colombia that continues to grow every day and I would love for you to meet.
I am passionate about what I do and share it with you much more.
So I better start at the beginning…
Many, many years ago, I received some very important information that I did not know through a report.
And who would have thought that precisely that day would be a before and after in my life?
It impacted me in such a profound way that I made a decision immediately and began to be a vegan. There was no turning back.
In that report they showed the real situation behind the meat industry and I couldn’t stop my conscience from expanding. I have such a strong sense of justice, that it did not allow me to continue living the way I used to, without awareness of the damage I was causing to the animals, the planet and of course: to myself.
From that moment my energy began to flow in a different way, and my health was improving, to the point that I immediately began to share my experience and everything I had discovered with others, because they could also benefit from it and contribute to a more just world, which is what matters most to me.
I’ll be honest, not everyone wanted to see what I was showing them.
I know it is easier not to… However, my conscience did not allow me to ignore what was happening and continue to share it with others.
One of my biggest challenges was and still is sharing the table with people who still choose products from animals. It causes me a very deep pain and it is still very difficult for me to have a sentient being on the plate next to me who suffered to be there.
For this reason I have distanced myself from many friends and family, and spent a lot of time away from them, including holidays, because it is not tolerable for me.
However, I soon understood that I had to be able to solve it, and I started to develop more empathy in myself.
Now, I let those I visit know about my philosophy of life and if they disagree with it, I visit them at a time or situation that does not involve a plate of food. And also, I invite my loved ones to vegan places or to my own home, offering them a different and appealing dish for them.
At all times I share my philosophy of life, because I feel it is absolutely necessary that more people know how important a change in their lives and in the world could be.
I believe that in order to accompany and help someone in veganism I have to first set the example of everything I preach.
I am an activist, consultant and vegan entrepreneur. But before all that, I am a passionate man who has his principles very clear and a great purpose to answer: that everyone goes back to being a vegan. For love, justice, and conscience.
Experience in the Delta, Botswana, Africa
It is one thing to watch documentaries about animals in their natural habitat and another, very different, is to live the experience. I had the honor and immense pleasure of sharing experiences with the animals in Africa, and learning through observation (and the information provided by the guides) a lot about them, about nature, about veganism, about human beings.
Did you know that the strongest animals are those that feed on plants? And that there is a perfect harmony out there in nature, which we cannot fully contemplate when we are immersed in our daily lives? (especially if we live in the city).
Lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, orangutans, hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses, among other species, and anecdotes like the one I am going to tell you here:
One morning after breakfast, during my stay at the delta, I decided to go out for a walk and explore the place a little. After a few minutes, I decided to turn into a tree and bang! I suddenly found a dozen lions resting under a tree after having fed, less than two meters in front of me. Can you imagine the surprise?
The mother lioness was protecting her cubs and looked at me… I decided to take some pictures of her and leave her territory walking backwards, crestfallen, slowly, and without losing sight of her… as a sign of respect for invading her territory.
When I left, believing that I was safe now, and thankful that everything went well, I met the alpha male… the protector of the family under the tree. How do I explain the feeling and adrenaline that is generated in a situation of survival like this?
I showed him that I was not a threat and he let me go again… I felt ecstasy and thought: who will believe me now! It was a very ecstatic and rewarding experience… I felt like a child in her backyard.
I am deeply committed
By making my contribution towards a social change that transforms the world into a place where animal rights are respected and our environment is consciously protected, as well as our own health in order to live a fuller life.
