We had a new address on our list (from HappyCow of course!) and we had lunch on Saturday afternoon at Espaço da Rosa. Very nice ambiance and a truly wonderful buffet. Espaço da Rosa is a vegetarian restaurant (lunch &…
We were in Amsterdam on a sunny afternoon early spring. I read about SLA, an organic salad bar, and was curious after reading so many good reviews. Jop & Nina & Ida opened the first SLA in 2013. The aim of this family company is to let as many people as possible taste great organic food. Most of it is plant-based and organic. They believe that ‘you are what you…

After using the HappyCow App to navigate our way through Bali, Thailand, Vietnam, Italy, and Poland we thought we’d share a tiny taste (pardon the pun) of our experiences to help others that may find themselves overseas looking for the perfect vegan day in Rome… Rome is an incredible city with more history than almost anywhere in the world. It’s a beautiful place with awe-inspiring sights around every corner. Luckily…

When we were planning a trip to Berlin everybody told us; ‘That is such a great city!’ ‘It is hip & happening in Berlin!’ This, of course, made us even more curious. And I have to admit, Berlin is hip & happening in all kinds of ways. There is a vibe in Berlin that says; ‘We can make change. We are looking for a new, greener, healthier lifestyle!’ And they…
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.

Traditional Myanmar food consists…
