Kalimera/Hello,

I will be travelling from Canada to visit Greece and then Turkey this August. I am planning to spend 5-6 days in Athens and then fly to Istanbul.

I would rather spend money on experiences than hotels, so if you have any budget friendly travel tips, let me know! Also, feel free to drop in vegan travel hacks too 😀

Lastly, if someone can help me find other vegans (activist or otherwise - just any vegan group), that would be great because Facebook & MeetUp groups seem to be dead/inactive.

Thanks!

Hi! My friends and I are planning a trip to Mexico, flying into Cancun in February. I’m the only vegan but I’m a big foodie and don’t want to only eat rice, beans, and guac the entire trip. Would love some recommendations for all inclusive resorts that have good vegan options. We are in our 30s and 40s. Thank you!

Hey veggies! I run a small vegan travel company called Ahimsa Travel Club, and if you don't have plans this summer for a little getaway... this July we're hosting a 4-day nature retreat at Metta Earth, a 158-acre ecovillage and sanctuary tucked into the Green Mountain National Forest in Lincoln, Vermont. We'll be waking up to total quiet, morning yoga in a historic barn, hiking through meadows and forest with a naturalist guide, herbal gathering sessions, garden-fresh vegan meals (some ingredients literally picked from the property that morning), meditations by the pond, and zero screens. It's a genuine digital detox with delicious vegan food. The venue is a non-profit focused on contemplative ecology and social justice, so it aligns deeply with the values most of us in this community care about. Dates are July 23–26, 2026, starting at $1,095/person all-inclusive (meals, lodging, activities). Happy to answer any questions. https://www.escapeto.in/escape-to-vermont

Hi! I have curated two award-winning vegan tours to South Africa and am craving a return trip! If I put a small group together that was 4/5 nights in Cape Town, followed by four nights on safari, and then an optional 5 days in Zanzibar for some down time, would anyone be interested? This would be a vegan trip at vegan-friendly and sustainable luxury hotels and lodges, ethical and community-based experiences, vegan-friendly dining and exclusive experiences, and safari focused on conservation with rehab facilities and sanctuary. Estimated cost would be around $10K excluding international flights, but does include conservation donation and full logistics/planning/gratuities/everything included in the itinerary and professional tour guides. Likely March 2027. LMK if you're interested - want to gauge interest in order to better gauge rates since the more people who join, the less expensive it is. Feel free to DM me!

We try to choose IHG hotels when they’re in good locations. Outside of the US we’ve been pleasantly surprised with their vegan options at breakfast. Indigo hotels in Helsinki, London, Bath. Holiday Inns in Osaka and London, and the IC Strings in Tokyo. That last was a dream!

What I’m wondering is, was my impression of ICs too favorably influenced by Tokyo? We’re at the IC Budapest at the moment, and the buffet is huge, yes, but not at all Vegan Friendly. There’s fruit, muesli, and a few cold veggies. The labels are hit or miss so I’m not sure about the bread. The hot food basically has mushrooms and potatoes. Plant milk is available, by request so you have to ask. (Asking is a challenge because this place is crazy packed!)

We’ve booked the IC in Warsaw later this year and I’m wondering what the will be like? Maybe we should stick to Indigos?

Located some good lunch/dinner restaurant options on Happy Cow (hello, Lokal!), but I'm having trouble with breakfast. Has anyone discovered a place on their travels they'd recommend? Eter Bakery seems good, but more focused on cakes and pastries

Hello all!

I am off to South Africa this September to visit family. I have been before but want to be a bit more prepared this time.

I'm aware of frys, and luckily found supermarkets to be quite good for vegans. Any other brands to keep an eye out for?

My main concern is all the random E-numbers in everything! Please can people advise what I'm most likely to come across and what to avoid? (I have looked up non vegan e numbers but not found anything SA specific)

I'll be staying in Kloof, South of Durban in Port Shepstone and also in the Champagne Valley. If anyone knows any specific restaurants or places to go for vegan food would be great.

Also if anyone knows of any animal related activities that are ethical/vegan friendly would be appreciated

Thanks all

Visiting for a week and made it back to Gladys, in the Edgewater Public Market. I already loved the place. The host went over the menu with me as I wanted to try something different, and we decided on the Tofu Cacciatore. Oh my goodness! So many flavors. I loved it. And the lemon tart for dessert was also perfect for me.
