Travelling as a vegan can sometimes feel like navigating a culinary minefield, but with the right preparation, it can be a breeze. Whether you're jetting off to a bustling city or a remote retreat, these 29 expert tips will help you enjoy a stress-free, delicious vegan holiday.
Choosing the Right Destination
Not all destinations are created equal when it comes to vegan-friendly options. Research ahead to find cities and resorts with a strong plant-based scene. Look for places known for their fresh produce, local markets, and vegan-friendly restaurants.
How to Order Like a Pro
Never assume a dish is vegan—always ask. Learn key phrases in the local language to communicate your dietary needs clearly. Opt for cuisines that naturally incorporate plant-based ingredients, such as Mediterranean, Indian, or Thai.
Top Tips for Dining Out
- Check menus online before booking.
- Call ahead to confirm vegan options.
- Be polite but firm about your requirements.
Packing Smart
Bring snacks like nuts, seeds, and protein bars for emergencies. A small cooler bag can keep plant-based milk or other perishables fresh during transit.
Final Thoughts
With a bit of planning, your vegan holiday can be as enjoyable—and delicious—as any other. Bon voyage and happy eating!
