Travel Vegan & Love It: 5 Tips For Successful Vegan Travel

Travelling as a vegan may seem like a daunting task since it is very hard to find accommodation, cosmetics and all according to your need. But, fret not, we got you. In this article, we have enlisted 5 main things you need to know about being vegan whilst on the road, including what all you can pack in your bag to how you can find the right accommodation for yourself.

Pack Your Own Snacks

There are ample restaurants or airline companies that provide vegan food, but don't take any risk and carry your own munchies with you. Pack yourself a Vego bar, or five, as well as dried fruit, trail mix, nuts, or whatever else takes your fancy.

Inform Your Accommodation Beforehand

If you're planning to dine at your accommodation, it's better you inform them about your dietary preferences beforehand. This will save them from going through the trouble of cooking animal-based foods that you won't eat.

Don’t Be Afraid To Ask For What You Want

So, you’re planning to have a nice meal in a restaurant, but there aren’t any suitable choices listed in the menu, in this scenario you can ask if the chef can prepare a vegan dish for you. All you have to do is ask politely, and we are sure they will be happy to do so.

Find Local Vegan Food Stalls Through Social Media

This is one of the first and must thing to do. A simple online search will inform you about vegan cafes, restaurants or food stalls near you. Also, this will help you explore local cuisine. My tip is to use Instagram using hashtags such as #vegantravel or #veganindia.

Pack Vegan Cosmetics

If you don't know what kind of toiletries you will be getting at your hotel, pack your own. Vegan cosmetics are hard to come by so it’s best to carry your own.
