Whether you’re planning a trip to the UK, making your way through Spain, or doing a deep dive into the Bavarian forest, there’s a sanctuary worth building your itinerary around.
Amsterdam is absolutely, unequivocally one of the best cities in the world to travel as a vegan. Like, it’s not even close.
Between the jaw-dropping canal views, world-class museums, quirky neighborhoods, and an honestly ridiculous number of fully vegan restaurants, this city is basically built for us. Whether you’re into fine dining or grabbing something cheap and delicious from a street food spot, Amsterdam delivers every single time.
There’s something that just hits different when you come face-to-face with a rescued pig who’s happily rooting around in the mud, completely free from fear. Or when a cow who was once headed to a slaughterhouse walks right up to you and nuzzles your hand. These aren’t scenes from a feel-good movie — they’re what happens when you visit a vegan animal sanctuary.
There’s eating well while you travel, and then there’s really understanding the food. Taking a vegan cooking class abroad is one of those experiences that hits different — you come away with actual skills, a deeper appreciation for the local culture, and recipes you’ll be recreating in your own kitchen for years. Plus, you’ll usually eat an incredible meal at the end. Win-win.
If you’ve ever stood at the edge of a mountain trail, breathed in that clean pine air, and thought man, I really hope this is still here in 50 years — then Earth Day was basically made for you.
Let’s be real — traveling with kids is already a full-on production. Add a vegan diet into the mix and suddenly you’re Googling “is bread vegan in Italy” at midnight while your toddler throws a sock at the wall. Been there.
Let me be real with you — when I first started researching a vegan trip to Bali, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’d heard it was paradise, but would it actually work for someone who doesn’t eat animal products? Spoiler alert: Bali is genuinely one of the most vegan-friendly destination on the planet right now.
So you’re heading to Paris and you’re vegan. First of all — amazing choice on both counts. Second of all, don’t let anyone tell you Paris is hard to navigate as a plant-based eater, because honestly? The city has quietly become one of the most vegan-friendly destinations in Europe, and it just keeps getting better.
When I first went vegan, I had already scheduled my trip to Peru. So one of the first things that crossed my mind is: okay, but how am I going to travel?
It’s a totally valid worry. Traveling as a vegan adds a layer of planning that non-vegans don’t have to think about. But here’s what I’ve learned: vegan travel is not only doable — it’s genuinely one of the most rewarding ways to explore the world.
So you want to hit the open road, windows down, playlist queued up — and you also want to eat incredibly well the entire time. Good news: those two things are no longer in conflict. Vegan road tripping across the USA has quietly become one of the best ways to eat your way through this country, and you’d be surprised how far plant-based food culture has spread beyond the coasts.
Until recently, vegan travelers used to draw the short straw on cruise ships. You’d show up to the buffet, and your “options” were a sad pile of iceberg lettuce and some dinner rolls. Thankfully, the cruise industry has woken up, and a handful of lines are genuinely delivering for plant-based passengers. But not all of them are worth your money. Let’s break it down.
So you’re vegan — amazing! Your diet is dialed in, your pantry is spotless, and your go-to restaurants know your order by heart. But then a trip comes up, and suddenly you’re wondering: will this hotel actually have anything I can eat? Is there even a coffee shop nearby?
