Brexit Or Vegxit: Is The UK Losing The Battle Against The Rest Of Europe When It Comes To Veganism?

london

It’s great being a European vegan because pretty much everywhere you go (well at least in the big cities), there are always a good few vegan or vegetarian cafes with vegan options to explore. Then there are the supermarkets too–gone are the days when bread, a packet of crisps, and some hummus (if you were lucky) needed to be your evening meal.

You Had Better Love Noodles

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,…

Eating Vegan In Tokyo: You Can Do It!

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…
