How to Find Vegan Food for Travel?

Eating can be one of the most enjoyable and memorable parts of travel. Tasting new foods and flavors you’ve never had before can be exciting and fun. It can also be miserable if you can’t find anything to eat. Sometimes it can be challenging but figuring out how to find vegan food for travel is more straight forward than you think.

Learn the language

This doesn’t apply if you are traveling somewhere where you already speak and read the language.

Learn a little bit of the language before you leave. At the very least enough to order food and read food labels in grocery stores. If you are having a hard time memorizing the words you can also bring a dictionary, or if you have a cellphone with internet access search for translations of the words you don’t understand.

Some tools that I’ve used in that past that have worked for me are Duolingo and Memrise. English to the other language dictionaries have worked very well for me too.

The more you read labels and try to communicate in the language the easier it gets.

Before you leave and while you’re there use the internet to search for restaurants

Before you leave do a little planning. You can use tools like Google, Yelp, and HappyCow to find restaurants at your destination that you might like to visit. If you have internet access at your destination you can search while your there.

If you can’t find a restaurant find a market or grocery store

When you can’t find restaurant you can go to a grocery store and find vegan food. Some good ideas are fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods, packaged foods like, soy milk, chips, dried fruit, chocolate, protein bars, peanut butter, soy yogurt, nuts, falafel, veggie burgers, vegan ice cream, and whatever else you can find. Make sure you use your newly acquired language skills to help you read the labels and avoid diary, meat, and eggs.

Be compassionate with yourself

If you make a mistake and accidentally eat some animal products, it’s okay. Be compassionate with yourself and try not to make the same mistake next time.
