Vegan Travel – 3 Useful Tips To Stay Vegan While Traveling

Vegan travel can be disheartening, but we came back from traveling for 3 months in Europe and now I have a few tips to share on how to travel and be vegan.

We began our trip in Paris and stayed with a great couple there. We devoted the middle part of September in Istanbul, a city in Turkey with about 15 million people! We also spent the next few weeks on the south coast of the country.

We made our made up through Greece, then through Albania where we paid 8 euros per night for a hostel overlooking the Mediterranean, then Montenegro where we stayed in a Medieval town surrounded by thick stone walls and cobblestone paths, and Croatia where we lucked out again with great hostels and amazing views over the city and the Mediterranean.

We spent 10 days in Florence and Verona – Italy, and 5 days in Munich, Germany where the climate turned cold. We also had a great week in Amsterdam with Phil’s sister at her tiny dorm room. We cooked many great meals and travel around the city as the snow fell. We spent a few amazing days with our friends in Paris before we 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 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 like us – traveling on a budget, you may want to stay in and cook lots of your own meals in a hostel. A lesser-known idea for how to travel and be vegan is to pack your own spice mixes to make things go more easily in the bustling hostel kitchens – it can help you to be certain that you still have 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 seldom eat at restaurants during vegan travel time. Rather, we go to grocery stores and markets and have picnics. We’ll be posting some videos regarding how to grocery shop while you’re traveling to save a lot of money, and have really pleasant lunches and dinners. No, it’s not advance science, but there are a couple of things that are good to know.
