Hello Swedish Vegans! I will be in Stockholm for a conference at the end of the month, and I would really appreciate your suggestions for great places (and things!) to eat. I'm staying in a hotel in Kungsgaten, which I think is fairly central? I'm mainly looking for nice (not too...

Their buffet is laden with meat. It is impossible for a vegan to eat there. I have only visited their restaurant here in the UK once, that was enough. Do all Skandinavians eat alot of meat?.

Zagreb, more specifically. Looks like (fingers crossed) i'm going to be living out there for about three months at the end of the year. Just wondering what it's like for veganism? I assume that it's a lot like the rest of continental europe where you get a bit of a blank look in restaurants, but...

I hope to be heading over to Moscow for a semester sometime in the next two years, but I'm super worried about how I'll manage a healthy, balanced vegan diet while I'm there. I've heard from a few websites that it is very difficult. Has anyone here had any experience at surviving in Russia on a...

I have to travel quite a lot for work, which can be really difficult, because when I'm at a conference for 12+ hours a day there just isn't time to hunt out vegan-friendly shops and restaurants. I am going to Budapest for the second time for a conference, and Budaveg is a total life-saver. For...

Hi guys! I'm a seventeen-years-old vegan from Germany. I would like to make an exchange with a student from a French- or an English-speaking nation. Because of my vegan lifestyle I couldn't find any exchange pupils yet. Perhaps I find one in this forum or you can help me find someone? ...

Hi! I am currently living in Brussels and would welcome any recommendations for places to buy good vegan food. Or any vegan food, to be honest ;). I normally go to the Bio Planet in Mechelen, where they have different kinds of tofu, tempeh, seitan, vege pâtes, etc. However one of the things I...

In 6 - 12 months I’ll be moving to Cyprus, to live and work. Of course I’m very excited, but also a tad apprehensive due to my veganism. I know there will be plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, but I’m more concerned about other vegan options such as soymilk, egg-replacer, vegan cheese,...

Dear Friends, I am going to Borovetz (Lion Hotel, have you ever heard of that?) and I was just wondering if there is a possibility that I could 'survive' as a vegan there. Have you any suggestions? Many thanks in advance, Catherine:)

AT LAST, a veggie restaurant has opened in Stavanger - Resept Østervåg 43. We went yesterday to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and it was wonderful. It is just a small cafe but they had set a table for us with roses and a candle. Normally you would order from the counter but they waited on...

I was wondering if anyone had any tips and advice for the travelling vegan! Next week I am off to Albufeira in Portugal for a field course with my university.

Jeg skal antakelig jobbe i Stockholm i neste uke - finnes det noen her som vet om det har skjedd noe nytt med hensyn til vegan-kafeer der i det siste?

This isn't so much for me but I'm trying to get some advice for a friend. A friend of mine is studying abroad in the Netherlands. She wrote back to me telling me how she's had to cheat on her diet because of language barriers etc... She's traveling a lot through Europe as well, so I don't know if...
