As a testament to the ease of finding vegan food in Vilnius, let me start by saying; I was full basically the whole time I was there. Pleasantly so for the most part, but uncomfortably so a couple of times too, because I have limited self control where food is concerned. For Lithuania may not… Continue reading Where to eat vegan in Vilnius
At the risk of boring myself by proclaiming that yet another place is ‘really good’ for vegan food, let me tell you; Prague was really good for vegan food. I actually had zero expectations about what it would be like (not in the sense that I was preparing myself for slim pickings, in the sense… Continue reading Eating vegan in Prague
Affordable, beautiful and steeped in history, Prague felt like the kind of place whose mention was always met with ‘we went there one Christmas’ or ‘oh, I LOVE Prague’ – the kind of place that everyone has already been. ‘Everyone’, of course, didn’t include me, so it’s been somewhere on my travel wishlist for a… Continue reading A December weekend in Prague | Travel Diary
Eating vegan in Italy was fairly easy in general, but if there was one place we went where it was particularly so, that place would have to be Florence. Avoiding meat and dairy here is something you just don’t have to put as much thought into as you might expect, and certainly not as much… Continue reading Eating vegan in Florence
Prior to visiting Italy, lots of people asked how I was likely to get on there without eating meat or dairy. It wasn't bad at all though, I have to say; I like eating all the carbs and Italy has all the carbs, so on that basis we got on very well indeed - and… Continue reading Eating vegan in Venice
Please tell me that some of you tend to get a little over snap happy when travelling too? I’m utterly ridiculous; when I visit any kind of landscape I have this sort of strange repetitive routine of stopping every two steps and exclaiming ‘This! THIS is the view!’ while taking another 30 photos (much to… Continue reading Postcards from Keukenhof, Holland
When I said to people that I was going to Holland, most said exactly what I myself would have done; “Where? I’ve only ever been to Amsterdam. I loved it though”. And the capital might be the natural first thought at any mention of The Netherlands (I also loved it), but I was excited to… Continue reading A spring trip to Holland | Travel diary
There was lots I was looking forward to about my Holland trip, but top of my list, if I'm honest, was tulips. My excitement for flower overload was so enormous that it was verging on deranged, so with that front of mind I'd been somewhat slack with giving the other things we were going to… Continue reading The things I loved about Haarlem, Holland
I’ve made no secret of the fact that I really loved Gdansk, and something that certainly played a part in that was the food. One of the more difficult aspects of going vegan has been travelling; finding suitable places to satiate my everlasting hunger and stop the inevitable moodiness that results from having to eat… Continue reading Vegan eats in Gdansk
In November I headed to Budapest for a three night break. In part one of my travel diary from the trip (which you can read here) my ears had popped on the flight and never unpopped and I sneezed my way around Buda. We’d just gone to bed on evening two of our trip, I… Continue reading Budapest travel diary part two | Thermal spas and ruin bars
