Are restaurants in India vegan-friendly or not?
I find this duality quite ironic. On the one hand, India is known for protecting cows and encouraging people to live in a non-violent way; yet consuming dairy, which is far from non-violent, is a symbol of status and wealth.
I've been told by many, including Indian residents, that India isn't vegan-friendly because 'everything has ghee, cheese or paneer in it,' whilst others who live there find this view to be ridiculous!

Suraj and I had been on a pilgrimage that involved a lot of driving, and some trekking. The trip was amazing, for a number of reasons, but by the end of it, I couldn't face another 'Indian' meal! Why? Every single day, between May 24th and June 10th, we had some form of 'Indian' food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
AnnaMaya gave us what we were craving before we returned to London.

Suraj and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in Dubai. We had moved home only a few days before our arrival, and were quite thrown by some of the things that happened before, during and after the move. However, this trip gave us exactly what we needed!
We deliberately avoided the tourist hot spots, because we plan on doing that on our next trip. Yep, we liked it that much! This trip was about relaxing, rejuvenating, walking and of course, eating. All of these boxes were ticked and I'm looking forward to visiting Dubai in the near future.

Staying in a chalet outside of England
I've stayed in a few places that can sleep over 20 people before, but they were self catering and in the UK.
This trip involved staying in a Chalet in France and it included breakfast and dinner. Had the skiing trip not been organised by a friend of mine who's vegan, assertive, efficient and extremely considerate, I think I might have have been a bit skeptical and tense about what we'd be fed. However, this wasn't the case, so I trusted that all would be well and went away without taking any vegan food with me. I say that, because some members of our group did bring food with them.

My previous trip to Paris was awful
The last time I went to Paris was a number of years ago, and although it probably was beautiful, friendly and romantic; I didn't recall it that way at all! All I remembered was that, the waiters/chefs didn't know what vegetarian meant, or they didn't want to cater for us, and they didn't seem to care about amending dishes on the menu or creating something to enable us to enjoy a nice meal.

Jilna has been vegan for three years. She lives in London, and has always found it easy to grab a bite to eat or dine out. However, she hasn't always had the same experience when travelling abroad.
That changed in 2015! She holidayed in the West coast of America, and realised, that what she had heard about vegan options was no exaggeration! They were great! She was thoroughly impressed!

Hotels that cater for vegans
More often than not, I've stayed in a hotel whilst I'm on holiday. I like exploring and walking when I'm away, so when booking a hotel, I would think more about location and comfort, than food. This is because I would be hoping to eat while I'm out and about.
Within England, I've recently used hotels as a way of avoiding driving a long distance and then drive back again within a few hours. In these cases, I've usually booked hotels where breakfast is an extra option, and then had brunch before leaving to return home.
Find out how I felt about staying at the West Park Hotel for 5 days.

Eating vegan while you're travelling is so hard!
I've heard people say that they don't follow a vegan diet when they're travelling because it's too hard. I've also been asked if I find it impossible to eat vegan when I'm on holiday.
I'm not sure why there's an assumption that eating vegan away from 'home' would be difficult, but you wouldn't be alone if you thought the same!
