A vegan lifestyle isn’t just about the food; it’s about the products you use and your contribution to keeping your consumption cruelty free! Different countries have different relationships with the word ‘vegan’ and in some areas sometimes options are limited. Here are a few tips to keeping it vegan on your travels:
Accommodation
If headed to an area or country where there are limited vegan options available in restaurants or street food, consider finding accommodation with a kitchen so you can prepare your own scrummy vegan goodness! Make sure to pack yourself a lunch as well for any day excursions where food options may be limited.
Eating Out
There are plenty of apps available for download that will help you find your nearest vegan-friendly food joint. Happy Cow is just one that will unite you with the best vegan venues around!
Toiletries
Check any toiletries provided by hostels or hotels to ensure no animal product has been used and that the product has not been tested on animals. Why not take your own gorgeous vegan soap bars to ensure to keep your travel stench at bay while also keeping the animals happy! Cruelty-free essentials come in all shapes and sizes these days…
Planes
If you have a long flight and a meal or two included, make sure to call ahead and inform the airline of your dietary requirements to ensure you don’t miss a meal!
Language Barriers
If heading to an area or country where you’re not familiar with the language, to avoid confusion at restaurants try to learn the local phrase for ‘vegan’ or ‘plant based’ to make sure you don’t get any meat related surprises in your dish!
