How To Become Vegan

pick a place, it can launch a mapping app to navigate me there. This makes
finding vegan food incredibly easy.
When I first went to Paris in 2011, people told me that I might have a
hard time finding vegan food there. That is to say, non-vegan people warned
me about that. Experienced vegan travelers know better. Vegan food was
abundant in Paris, and the French vegan cuisine was just amazing. I
especially liked Saveurs Végét’Halles, which is fairly close to the Louvre.
When I’m staying in a place with a kitchen, like an AirBnB, I’ll find a
local grocery store or natural foods store and buy some vegan items there.
Some foods that I often buy when traveling include muesli with soy milk,
pasta, fresh fruit, and bread and hummus. Muesli is especially easy to find
in Europe, and it’s generally better than what passes for muesli in the USA.
If I’m in a country where I don’t know the language, I use my phone to
translate the ingredients. The Google Translate app is awesome for this. I
run the app, aim the cell phone camera at the list of ingredients, and I’ll see
the translation into English appear on the screen in real time. With a little
practice, I can eventually learn the translations of words like eggs, milk,
butter, etc. so I can quickly scan for them. This also helps me learn the
words for common plant-based foods like wheat, soy, etc.
I love to rely on local help whenever possible. I make new friends easily
when I travel, and when people learn that I’m vegan, they’re usually happy
