How to travel as a vegan

Roaming around the globe is not a cup of tea for everyone. Besides cheap Flights and affordable accommodation, you also need to consider your dietary requirements and ensure wholesome, healthy food that gives you an insight into the places you visit.

Here are few tips for easy Vegantravels:

1. Plan the trip according to your taste- Foremost thing is to find out the local vegan or vegan-friendly outlets to quench the hunger. Gather the information about the eating habits of the place you are going to visit so you can get an idea of how easy or difficult it can be to get vegan options. It is very likely that in this process you will discover local gastronomic wonders that other travellers have not known because they have stayed with the most common and easiest access.

2. Ask restaurants to customise dishes on the menu -Be ready to ask whether the food contains animal products like egg/fat/meat. Most restaurants will have no problem modifying a dish for you, especially if they find that you are unwilling to eat egg or meat. In fact, you may not even need to ask for such modifications, as it is increasingly common to find vegetarian and vegan restaurants everywhere. You can use instagram and pinterest to search for restaurants in the place you are going to visit, and keep a list with the addresses in case you don't have easy access to the internet.

3. Kitchen- If you are staying in friends' houses, in hostels or family-run accommodation, the best option is to cook, so you can do things to your liking. This idea helps you to save a lot of money which later you can spend on other exciting things.

4. Learn to eat well-Vegan travel can be challenging but it can be easy and nourishing by including good amounts of fruit, vegetables, legumes and nuts. The latter are an excellent way to maintain adequate consumption of protein and other essential nutrients even when you do not have access to more elaborate meals.

If food enthusiasts follow these simple methods than diet will never act as stumbling block in seeing the world.
