This city has my heart, literally. It could be for its canals and because it is one of the most romantic cities in the word. I didn’t want to stop enjoying every little corner of this magical city. Definitely one of my favorites. No matter how often you’ve seen Venice in photos and films, the real thing is more dreamlike than you could imagine. Getting lost in the narrow alleyways is…
ONE WORD: THATALO It literally means “no living things.” With this magic word, you will go a very long way. I learned this word at the border, and once I did, I never looked back. You could easily walk into any place in Myanmar and get a vegan dish without any problems. And on top of that, people will LOVE that you know some of the local language. Traditional Myanmar food consists…
If you are planning a trip to Marrakesh this guide could be useful, as it can be a bit difficult to find vegan options in the city. Most of the people speak English, French and Spanish, so the language barrier shouldn’t be a problem. However, it is a problem finding vegan meals — especially if you go to local bars or restaurants because they won’t know what “vegan” means. Thankfully,…

When I stepped into the diner the first thing I saw — and smelled — was a tray of freshly-baked vegan donuts. Right then, I knew I had found a winner. Veggie Galaxy in Cambridge was recommended to me by my couchsurfing host upon arrival in the city. Naturally, I carved out some time to pop in for a visit (two, actually). Known for their busy weekend brunches, I made…

China is considered by many to be one of the most difficult countries to travel in as a vegan. And I don’t understand why. The supermarkets are filled with options and you can make pretty decent meals for less than 2 Euro. Just the way I like it. I highly recommend looking up restaurants on HappyCow or making Chinese friends if you want to go out to eat though. I arrived in Datong unprepared,…

In what seemed like a fool hardy plan I booked a last minute trip to Tokyo with no prior experience of Japan and speaking no Japanese. As a long term strict vegan the prospect of spending two weeks in a country renown for their fish and inflexibility, rather than their vegan friendly cuisine, was a little daunting. I’m not the most adventurous of travellers, but I managed to eat, eat…
