Vegan Travel – 3 Beneficial Tips For How To Travel And Be Vegan

Vegan travel can be daunting, but we just returned from traveling for 3 months in Europe and now I have some tips on how to travel and be vegan.

Our trip started in Paris where we stayed with a very nice couple there. The middle part of September was spent in Istanbul, a city with something like 15 million people! And the next couple of weeks were spent on the south coast of Turkey.

We made our way through Greece, and then passed through Albania where we spent 8 euros a night for an inn overlooking the Mediterranean. We also went through Montenegro where we stayed in a Medieval town with cobblestone paths that is enclosed by thick stone walls, and then in Croatia where we lucked out once more with excellent hostels and wonderful views over the city and the Mediterranean.

We spent 10 days in Italy – in Verona and Florence and another 5 days in Munich, Germany where the weather got colder. We had an amazing week with Phil’s sister at her little dorm room in Amsterdam. We cooked loads of delicious meals and explored the city while snowing. We spent a couple of fantastic days in Paris with our friends and then headed home.

Here are 3 tips for vegan travel.

1. Oatmeal, Oatmeal, Oatmeal

We eat plenty of oatmeal at home, too, but it’s especially suited to vegan travel, especially the way we make it.

If you are lodging in a hostel or in other place where they provide free breakfast, it can be enticing to just eat the usually unhealthy food they serve, such as sugary cereal, white bread, and muffins. When it comes to discussing about how to travel and be vegan, oatmeal is the best for you.

Or if you’re lodging in a place where it doesn’t serve breakfast on your vegan travel journey, you can be tempted a lot to go out for breakfast regularly, which can costs you more money and is usually not as healthy – of course it’s fantastic to go out for breakfast every now and then, but if you do it frequently, the money adds up.

2. Bring Your Own Spice Mixes

If you’re traveling on a budget like us, you might stay in a hostel and cook many of your own meals. A lesser-known tip for how to travel and be vegan is to bring your own spice mixes to make things go more quickly in the busy hostel kitchens and help make sure you still get to eat great food. The recipes for my spice mixes are on the hidden vegan travel section of the website.

3. Yes, Other Countries Have Grocery Stores, Too

We don’t eat at restaurants much during vegan travel time. Instead, we go to markets and grocery stores and have picnics. We’ll be posting some videos about how to grocery shop while you’re traveling, save a lot of money, and have really nice lunches and dinners. No, it’s not rocket science, but there are a few things that are good to know.
