About The Traveling Vegetable

Over eight and a half years ago, I made the conscious decision to start eating less meat and more plants. Not only is a plant-forward diet healthier, but it also significantly reduces our environmental impact. Our current food systems, especially the meat industry, have devastating effects on the planet, from excessive resource consumption to the production of greenhouse gases.

The more I learned, the more I realized I couldn’t keep eating the way I had been. At first, my goal wasn’t to become a full-time vegetarian; I just wanted to cut back on meat. But over time, meat started disappearing from my meals altogether. One day I realized I had gone an entire month without it. Then six months. Then a year. And now, it’s been over eight years.

As awareness of the environmental and ethical impacts of meat grows, more people are exploring vegetarianism and veganism. Still, finding delicious plant-based options, especially while traveling, can sometimes be a challenge.

I love food and I love to travel. Being vegetarian doesn’t mean missing out. In fact, it’s so fun to discover places that make vegetables taste amazing.
