Marissa’s Vegan Travels

Koh Phangan had the potential to be such a beautiful island for us, but unfortunately our week there was spent indoors due to our bad timing with the weather. We spent most nights powerless in our bungalow and most days […]

It’s much easier to get to the islands of Thailand from inland than I thought, and cheaper than I was expecting! We knew we wanted to either go to Ko Samui or Koh Phangan and luckily they both take the […]

Doi Suthep This Buddhist monastery in Chiang Mai is a must see. You can easily get a tuk tuk up the hill to see the beauty of this temple. There’s also a hike you can do where you’ll walk by […]

Chiang Mai is becoming quite the popular destination amongst vegans. It’s very easy to find online all the vegan restaurants in the area you are visiting, so I thought I would put together my list of places that I think […]

Eat, Pray, Love: the agenda for our time in Bali, in that order. In The Raw In The Raw was our first place we tried in Canggu. Along the same road we found many health food/holistic shops and other vegan cafes […]

New Zealand is known for its incredibly green landscapes and beautiful outdoor sceneries, but I had no idea I was going to run into so many amazing vegan restaurants. From vegan ice cream shops to popular brunch cafés with amazing […]

Last year on World Vegan Day I was enviously watching the snapchat stories of my vegan internet pals in Melbourne at the World Vegan Day Festival, celebrating veganism with tons of delicious food, fun events, and inspirational speakers. This year, […]

Melbourne brought me and Shae a lot of cold, rainy weather but what it delighted us with was a LOT of vegan restaurants and shops. We were even there during their World Vegan Day festival! Here’s some of our favorite places […]

I’d say Sydney, Australia is a dream destination for a lot of us. Beaches with beautiful clear waters, surfing, scuba diving, kangaroos, iconic landmarks like the opera house and an abundance of vegan cafes and restaurants; Sydney has it all! […]

Wow. We were not expecting the overflow of vegan food in Dubai! Full vegan shops, cafes, organic grocery markets, the whole sha-bang! And not to forget how vegan friendly traditional arabic restaurants are. Here’s some of our favorite vegan places […]

We were glad we got a chance to stop in Athens on our way to the greek islands after @vegannomad showed us how vegan friendly it was in her blog post and video! We were there for a few days as a […]

The 2nd largest city in Croatia next to Zagreb is Split, our next destination! We road tripped up from Dubrovnik to Split, spontaneously passing through Bosnia (even got a passport stamp–woo!). We arrived in the evening, not really knowing anything […]

If you’re looking for more adventure to get into in Croatia, check out Cadmos Village Adventure Park right outside of Dubrovnik. They have zip-lining, an obstacle course, mountain biking, archery, and more, but that’s all we got into! They also […]

After a choppy overnight ferry from Bari, Italy, Shae and I arrived in Dubrovnik to probably the most welcoming sight ever: a beautiful sunset view from our AirBnB. I’d say it was hands down my favorite sunset I’ve ever seen. […]

Shae and I knew we had to make a stop in the ancient city of Pompeii while visiting Italy. In 79 AD Mount Vesuvius erupted, covering the city in ash and preserving the ruins. What is left brings you back to […]

I’d say when most people think about humans’ relationship with horses it seems quite good, and I do believe most horse owners have a positive and loving relationship with their horses. You would think of horses the way you think […]

So far on our six-month around the world trip, Shae and I have found it pretty easy to find vegan food. Reykjavik, London, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Berlin: all very vegan friendly! We knew we would run into some challenges along […]

Cinque Terre translates in English to “five lands.” Cinque Terre is a city made up of five smaller towns along the rocky coast of the Italian Riviera. In each of the towns you will find colorful buildings and homes, heaps of stairs […]

I heard you only need a day or two to see Venice. You’ll get tired of all the tourists and it’s so small that you can finish all the sight-seeing in one day. We took that advice and had two […]

Stockholm, Sweden quickly became a second home to me and Shae. The people are so friendly, the architecture is beautiful, and the vegan food is abundant! And it helps that we met up with the founder of VeganTravel, @alan, who […]

We arrived in Copenhagen late on a Wednesday and left early on a Friday, so Shae and I had barely a full 48 in Copenhagen, and really only 24 hours of actual time to explore. I woke up first thing […]

Vegan Food in Amsterdam Visiting Amsterdam and looking for the vegan hotspots? Most restaurants in Amsterdam actually have vegan options! Amazing! Skip the coffeeshops (hahaha) and head to these restaurants! VegaBond VegaBond is a vegan store for food items and […]

When it comes to being vegan, London has got you covered. You can’t go to a single area without finding at least one vegan restaurant. We found everything from ice cream sandwiches to proper afternoon tea! If you’re going to […]

 Vegan Food in Reykjavik, Iceland There were definitely a long list of places that came to my mind when thinking of vegan-friendly countries before I even considered Iceland. I had heard about the amount of fish that is popular and […]

I knew packing just 1 carry-on bag for my entire 6 month trip was going to be a challenge. People do it all the time, but I definitely over-estimated in my head how much room I would actually have. I […]

This past weekend I took the train to Philadelphia, PA to visit my friend Jaimee. Since I’m about to head off around the world for 6 months starting in July, I decided to take a trip to go see her […]

I recently made a youtube video discussing what to bring to eat on a vegan camping trip! You can check it out at the end of this post. To be even more helpful, I compiled a list of my vegan friendly camping […]

Wow. What a weekend. Spring break was last week. I started the week by going to Philadelphia and exploring the city with two of my good friends from Los Angeles. We were reunited after over a year apart and rented […]
