Before we start, I feel I should acknowledge the current situation the world finds itself in; clearly, not very many people are going to be doing any travelling anytime soon, and this not intended as a suggestion that anyone does. Instead, it’s an account of my own trip there at the end of last year,… Continue reading Three nights in Porto | Travel diary
Plant based pals rejoice: beautiful Porto is really excellent for delicious, creative and varied vegan food. Saying that, I must admit that I found it marginally harder to find places to eat there than I did in Lisbon, but that was not because there was a shortage of vegan offerings; instead, every establishment owner seemed to have chosen the week of our holiday to go… Continue reading All the best places I ate vegan food in Porto
I no longer feel much in the way of worry that I won’t be able to find good vegan food when travelling, and certainly not in European cities, where I’ve eaten some really amazing plant based stuff. Lisbon was no different, with the food turning out to be a real highlight of the trip. I… Continue reading All the best places I ate vegan food in Lisbon
‘Oh! Vilnius! That’s…where is that again?’ said around three quarters of the people I told I was going to Vilnius. Lithuania’s capital was added to my travel wishlist several years ago when the flights came up as a cheap option during one of those must-go-somewhere-anywhere searches, and a google image search showed it to be… Continue reading A weekend in Vilnius | Travel Diary
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
