Whether you’re vegan or not, many tourists prefer to eat plant foods abroad, to avoid dodgy foods. For example, some Norwegian cruise ships list ‘steak’ (to not let people they are eating whale). And you have other items like shark fin soup or meat from wet markets.

If you’re travelling abroad, get a copy of the little Vegan Passport (also in app form). Not only does this have all the needed phrases in most languages, but it contains pictures if you get stuck!

VGML is the international code for a vegan meal at the airport (nice too, as it’s outsourced to people who can cook!) Or to be puritanical, order a FPML (fresh fruit platter).

Do you know the most vegan-friendly countries on earth? You’d be surprised. Top of the list is Germany (Berlin is the world’s most vegan-friendly city) due to a strong health food culture. Other vegan-friendly countries are Israel, the USA, Australia and yes England.

A lot of food say in Asia is naturally vegan. Popularity of vegan cuisine tends to be by age – ie. it’s mostly the younger generation that have a higher percentage of plant-based lifestyles over older people.

  1. The Vegan Stay generates donations to animal sanctuaries
  2. Vegvisits is the plant-based version of airbnb
  3. The Nomadic Vegan is one of several good blogs

Vegan Linguists is a service where volunteers will translate your content for free, ideal if you are trying to sell to other markets, or you run an organisation and want your content read by people outside your country or within your country who speak a different mother tongue.

Animals don’t speak human language, so need help to get the word out. The service is offered by the group Vegan Hacktivists that offer other skills for free, from graphic design to free websites and free seed funding and advice.
