A Veg Village In Thailand

I heard about it the way one might hear about secret caves, fountains of youth, lost civilizations — through the veg grapevine. I had already visited the vegetarian cities of Haridwar and Rishikesh in India, having thoroughly enjoyed myself there while basking in the delicious compassion of vegetarianism, so I knew I had to go to Ban Phra Baht Huay Tom while in Thailand. About two and a half hours…

Feeling Hungry In Hungary? Try Napfényes Restaurant

In Budapest, Hungary, visitors can feast their eyes on miles of magnificent historic architecture, and when they’ve hit their limit on sightseeing, traditional Hungarian cuisine is around every corner. The sights and smells of these meat-heavy feastful foods, however, may offer little solstice to vegans or vegetarians. Thankfully, there is a growing counter culture cuisine movement that caters to plant-based tastes. My favorite of these up-and-coming choices is Napfényes Restaurant…

Vegan Food Under A Bridge

As they say in real estate: Location, Location, Location. While touring around London, I passed by a vegan café in an unlikely place; right under a rail station. Quaintly placed below the station’s bridge, The Fields Beneath is a phenomenal little spot to enjoy a coffee or latte and watch the world pass by. I brought a non-vegan friend along with me to share in the experience (and so that…

Eatin’ Good in Granada

Although I don’t think it formally deserves this title, so far Spain feels like the meat capital of the world. However, Granada (in the south of Spain) has a booming vegan scene that’s growing every year! I didn’t get to spend much time in Granada, but I did have the opportunity to work with an incredible little vegetarian restaurant that offered a heap of superb vegan dishes by the name of…

Veggies On Fire – The Hague

The Hague is one of my favorite cities in the Netherlands. The Hague is the city of peace and law, located on the coast of the North Sea with wide sandy beaches. It is a city of new styles and old masters, with shops, palaces, green parks and beautiful museums like the Mauritshuis. And above all, it is a city where you can eat great vegan food. John and Carin…

Sampling The Vegan Scene In Sheffield

One of the greatest things about traveling full-time is meeting all kinds of amazing people from all over the world. While on a year-long backpacking trip through Latin America, I met a British guy named Julien and we hit it off, traveling with each other through Bolivia before parting ways in Peru. I later told him that I’d be heading off to the U.K at some point and he invited…

Vegan In Bangladesh

Unfortunately, there is no magic word in Bangladesh to easily describe your dietary preferences. It is very difficult for a Bangladeshi person to understand that you do not want any meat. At least, this was my experience while trying to eat vegan food in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, everything vegetarian will most likely be vegan too. They never use Ghee, since vegetable oil is way cheaper. This is especially true for street food–places…

A Less Heard Of Benefit Of Being Vegan

You’ve probably heard that a vegan diet is good for your heath. You’ve probably heard that it’s good for the planet. And you know that it’s good for the animals. These things are all true. However, you might not have heard one of my personal favorite things about being vegan: it’s an adventure. I spent the past two weeks traveling on a sailboat through the San Juan islands in the…

AtayaCaffe in Berlin, Germany

Tucked away in a quiet side street off Prenzlauer Allee, AtayaCaffe is bringing a combination of Sardinian sunshine and Senegalese flair to this corner of Prenzlauer Berg. Berlin HappyCow ambassadors J-Veg and Kyttiara went to check it out and enjoy a slow breakfast. Stepping into this cosy cafe decorated with Senegalese wall hangings, we immediately felt at home as we were welcomed with warm smiles. Our taste buds already began…

FOAM Catering – The Hague

FOAM started as a, surprise surprise…catering company (FOAM stands for “Fresh, Organic, and Meat-Free”). But in 2016, FOAM opened the doors of its brand new ‘Health Food Hotspot’ in one of the hottest neighborhoods in The Hague. The Frederikstraat is a very lively street with all kinds of restaurant and cute little shops. FOAM is a hip white vegan hotspot with a lovely garden where you can enjoy a great…
