Around the World on a Vegan Diet
Ever since I went vegan almost 9 years ago, the hardest challenge wasn’t missing the taste of meat, cheese, or even eggs. It wasn’t facing the avalanche of questions about my dietary choices from colleagues, friends, and even strangers. It wasn’t finding vegan options in the local supermarket. And it wasn’t the gettogethers I had with my friends and the parties I went to. It was travelling – and it still is.
No matter the destination, my initial thought, when I’m travelling, is that I will end up starving to death. Rummaging through the supermarkets is a shortterm solution until you start craving some freshly cooked and hot food.
There have been cities, such as Amsterdam, where being vegan was a breeze. Everywhere I look, there’s at least a vegan or vegetarian restaurant. There were also lots of vegan options to choose from in the supermarkets.
