I didn’t know there were so many online vegan communities or that couch surfing had a vegan/vegetarian group. I will definitely check that out! I’m in India at the moment and find it difficult in some cities to find something vegan. I tend to stick to the ‘pure veg’ restaurants. At least I can guarantee the food is 100% vegetarian there!

This was great! My hubby and I are on our way to China, India and Mongolia and now I feel much better about how to communicate about my Vegan diet and prepare for the trip itself if I cannot find options. Thanks for this! Namaste!

I have actually had quite a huge problem while traveling for work and maintaining my vegetarian diet. Often, I will end up at a banquet-style meal and haven’t had the opportunity to request a different meal beforehand. Traveling in Missouri doing campaign work has meant that I end up eating at barbeque outfits with a group or at restaurants where my choices were generally unhealthy if vegetarian, like grilled cheese or fries.

So learning to travel and eat vegan is pretty critical, I think, and it’s not easy and kind of awkward in my experience, where you have to return banquet food, not eat during group meals and generally cause a stir. Thanks for the tips:) Wish I had read it earlier!

Love it! I remember when I was in Paris, walking around with a little index card that said (in French): I’m a vegan, I don’t eat xyz. Got some awesome food that way. Would have been nice to have a Vegan Passport, though! :)

Love this post, very clear summary of how to deal with a different food culture as well as the experience of travelling as well. Far too many posts on the subject ignore basic things like er, not being able to carry a week’s worth of food through airport security!

[...] For the vegan travelers, I’d say don’t stress out about finding food. Vegan food is everywhere. The staples (vegetables, fruit, grains, nuts and seeds) are easy to find. Enjoy the more exciting options when they are available, and stick to basic, healthy options the rest of the time. Don’t let it get to the point where you are stuck somewhere without food. Always pack a meal for long bus, train and plane rides. And keep an emergency stash of nuts, granola bars and other calorie dense food available at all times. For more advice, read my blog post about 5 tips for vegan travel. [...]
