How to Do It Right
Master Vegan Travel Routes
Target shoulder seasons like April-May or September-October to dodge crowds at top spots and snag festival deals. Book tables 2-4 weeks ahead for fully vegan fine-dining in London or NYC via apps like HappyCow or Resy. Chain cities like Berlin-Amsterdam or Bangkok-HCMC for efficient multi-hub trips.
Download HappyCow and Google Translate offline for menus; confirm "100% vegan" via reviews to avoid cross-contamination. Prioritize neighborhoods like Shoreditch (London) or Kreuzberg (Berlin) for cluster dining. Pace meals with lighter lunches to handle 3-5 spots daily.
Pack reusable utensils and a filter water bottle for street eats in Asia. Hone menu-reading skills for terms like "pure veg" in India or "shojin" in Japan. Venture beyond apps to local markets in Portland or Taipei for hidden gems.
