Vegan Travel – 3 Handy 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.

We started our trip in Paris and stayed with a wonderful couple. We spent the middle part of September in Istanbul, a city of something like 15 million people! And then we spent the next couple of weeks 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 or so days in Italy (Florence and Verona) and 5 days in Munich, Germany where the weather turned cold. We had a great week with Phil’s sister at her tiny dorm room in Amsterdam. We cooked lots of great meals and explored the city as the snow fell. We spent a couple of wonderful days with our friends in Paris 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 staying in an inn or in a place where they serve free breakfast, it can be appealing to eat the unhealthy food they are serving, such as muffins, sugary cereal and white bread. When it comes to thinking about how to travel and be vegan, oatmeal is excellent for you.

Or if you’re staying in hostel that doesn’t serve breakfast on your vegan travel journey, you may be tempted to go out for breakfast more frequently, which will costs you more money and is often unhealthy – of course it’s great to go out for breakfast once in a while, but if you do it everyday, 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. Other Countries Have Grocery Stores, Too

We rarely eat at restaurants throughout our vegan travel time. We go to grocery stores and markets and have picnics instead. We’ll be posting some videos concerning how to grocery shop while traveling to save lots of money and have really good lunches and dinners. No, it’s not rocket science, but it’s good to know a few things.
