Hi! I’m Dareios, Im 23 years old, and I’ve been vegan for about 3.5 years now. I was raised vegetarian and finally started exposing myself to the health and ethical issues of dairy and eggs in college and from there it was a pretty easy decision. I’ve lived in Vancouver Canada most of my life but have travelled to Greece several times as I have…[Read more]

Wow, I’ve always thought about travelling around Europe by bike, how was it? Location independence is a really interesting concept, I’ve always considered it too, but having grown up so internationally, I sometimes feel like I also want the kinds of roots that other people have. The grass is always greener on the other side, huh? You have a really…[Read more]
It was a really rewarding and really challenging experience! I started in Amsterdam, cycled through Holland and Belgium into France down to San Sebastian Spain. Definitely something I wanna do again at some point!
Welcome, Dareios! I’ve always been a fairly grounded, rooted person, but your goal of living nomadically and spreading a compassionate message while still “playing the game” and doing the things most of us need to do to be functioning members of society is becoming more and more appealing to me everyday. I think you’ve certainly found the right…[Read more]
thanks Jaclyn!
Welcome to the site Dareios! A few of our sponsored travelers (@vegannomad, @codyk, @mindfulwanderlust), are pretty much living your dreams of mostly nomadic living. I’m sure they would be happy to give you some tips and ideas.
thanks Alan!
Hi Dareios! Welcome welcome! 🙂 Kristin here. Back in 2010-ish I stumbled upon the likes of Chris Guillebeau, Corbett Barr, and Tim Ferriss. That changed everything for me. I ended up quitting my 9-5 job in 2011 and moved into a van (to try and eat at every vegan restaurant in the US). I thought I’d be gone for a year or so and then go back to my…[Read more]
thanks for the message Kristen! I’ve heard your story and am sure I could learn a lot from you! I’d love to talk more about it sometime if you’re up for it!
@dareioskatsanikakis Hey Dareios, Glad you joined Vegan Travel!!!
My wife Giselle (@mindfulwanderlust) and I quit our jobs back in February of 2012 and have pretty much been travelling full-time since then. With the exception of a few months here and there. We started a website called Mindful Wanderlust where we travel around the world…[Read more]
Thanks Cody! How much would you say I would need to have saved up to just start doing that same sort of thing?
@dareioskatsanikakis It definitely depends on where you want to travel. Giselle and I would spend $800-1000 CDN for a month in Thailand. While a month in Turkey could run us $1500 and in Europe you could easily add an extra $500 to that number. That is also for 2 of us. When we first started travelling back in 2012 we left home with $30,000 and it…[Read more]
Welcome Dareios 🙂
Sure, anytime! @dareioskatsanikakis
