A Happy Day In The Veggie World

There are days when we, as vegans, feel absolutely hopeless. Days when, no matter how hard we try, everything and everybody seems so against veganism that all we feel like doing is packing up and going off to live in a remote cave somewhere. Days when our faith in humanity hangs by a thread. Days when we could yell at our friends and relatives because their excuses not to embrace a life…

Thailand: A Great Place For Vegans?!

(At Angel's)

Before I went on my first trip to Thailand I had heard a bunch of rumors about whether or not Thailand would be a good place for vegans. Bangkok was supposed to be super easy. Phuket impossible.

Low Budget Vegan In Mongolia

Traveling as a vegan in Mongolia is not recommended for weak stomachs. I thought mine could handle it, but it didn’t. Although I was always very well prepared, I had a lot of difficulty coping with the local eating habits.

The dense and chewy texture of the mushrooms, along with the salty broth…
