I’m getting ready to take a couple of VERY long flights this week and, as a vegan of many years, I understand that my emergency snack game has to be on point.
Take a look below at everything packed in my carry on bag.

Ep 94 – Vegan Food In Romania
This week’s episode of the podcast was shot on location in Brasov, Romania!
Well, my part of it was. Gil and I enjoyed a few days in Romania so this week I discuss what the vegan food scene is like in Brasov. I had a few great meals and was bowled over by number of vegan products available in the supermarket.
Josh and I also share our thoughts on the Devil Wears Prada 2. I enjoyed it whereas Josh was much more critical!
We also chat a bit about the recent local elections that took place around the UK and what the results mean. We are not experts but we like to give our opinions!

Vegan Food During My Flight
HUGE shock around FGV headquarters this week.
I missed a day of blogging!
Yes it’s a let down because I pledged to blog every single day, but I do have a solid reason. I just spent more than a day traveling from Brisbane, Australia to London, United Kingdom.
It was an intense journey that started with me arriving at Brisbane airport four hours before my flight, followed by the 8+ hour flight to Hong Kong, an hour and a half layover, then a fourteen and a bit hour flight from Hong Kong to Heathrow.
Don’t forget the fact that the Elizabeth Line was out of service which meant a few Tube lines to get home. When I approached a TFL staff member at Heathrow to ask why the Elizabeth Line was down, they simply replied, “Boxing Day, innit”. Perfect welcome back home to the UK! Hahahaha.
Add all the flying, training, and waiting around and I’m pretty sure I was in transit for more than 30 hours.
But you didn’t just come here to listen to me complain. You want to see what vegan food I was served during my two flights, right?

Half-Price Vegan Holidays Helping Animals in Devon
How does a vegan holiday by the sea sound to you? What if I told you that you could enjoy it at half the usual price while also giving your time to care for rescued animals?
The Miggi, a vegan guesthouse just 100 metres from the sandy Devon coast, has come up with a beautiful way to support their local animal sanctuary, Hakuna Matata Animal Trust. This small charity is home to pigs, sheep, rabbits, gerbils and cats, and like many sanctuaries, it is in desperate need of extra pairs of hands.

Best Vegan Food in Genoa
Have you ever considered heading to Genoa for a vacation?
There are a lot of reasons why I think you should. Historic buildings. Gorgeous weather. Sunshine. Awesome public transport. And of course the sensational food at one of the best vegan eateries in Europe.

Vegan Food at an Italian Chippy
If you are visiting Genoa and get an overwhelming desire to eat fried food, you might want to pay a visit to Friggitoria San Giorgio.
This fish and chip takeaway spot surprised me with vegan options advertised prominently on its front counter.

Vegan Options in Genoa
Following on from my post yesterday about the vegan snacks I snagged in Genoa, I wanted to share news of a plant-based restaurant meal I enjoyed last night.
Soul Kitchen is a vegetarian restaurant nestled into a narrow lane way in Genoa, which is not really necessary to mention because everything in Genoa is nestled into a narrow lane way.
The majority of the menu at Soul Kitchen is vegan with some of those options being raw. But what did we eat?

Hunting For Vegan Food In Genoa
I’m in Genoa and I want to know if it is weird referring to it as Genoa on my blog and not the Italian Genova?
I am such an uneducated fool. For most of my life I thought Genoa and Genova were two different places. The anglicised name for this Italian city was obviously the one I’m most familiar with so perhaps I should just stick with it for clarity.
My husband is feeling a bit under the weather so we are taking it easy with a few gentle strolls around the port and historic centre, but of course day one had me looking for vegan snacks.
This morning we popped into the Eataly cafe opposite the port and I was surprised to find fresh vegan croissants, including fruit jam filled varieties. The cafe also had pre-packaged vegan biscotti.
These croissants were delicious but they were just stop one for the day.

Ranting About UK Trains
There was a time when I would jump on a train without thinking twice and head to another town or city. I adored discovering vegan cafés, supporting independent vegan businesses, and turning up at vegan events all over the country.
Those trips were always a highlight, a way to feel connected, and an opportunity to share what’s going on beyond London on this blog.
But things have changed.

Vegan at Disneyland Paris: Not Just Chips (Anymore)
I recently found myself back inside Disneyland Paris for the first time in more than twenty years.
Yes, two full decades have passed since I last roamed those pastel-paved walkways and heard It’s a Small World on an endless loop. And let me tell you, while the park has changed in a lot of ways, one thing has definitely improved: vegan food.
