Vegan Travel Challenge — Travelling Vegan for Veganuary 2016

Vegetarian & Vegan in Sofia, Bulgaria

Charlie Marchant — Sun, 09 Sep 2018 11:00:54 +0000

In this vegetarian and vegan guide to Sofia, we share where to find the best vegan Bulgarian food in Sofia. We munched on banitsa, filled our bellies with mish-mash and bob chorba, and explored local markets. Bulgaria’s capital city isn’t known for being a great vegan travel destination, but perhaps it should be. If you […]

A Guide to Traditional Vegetarian and Vegan Food in Macedonia

Luke Nicholson — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:00:54 +0000

When we were travelling vegan in Macedonia as part of our vegan travel challenge, we scoured menus for traditional Macedonian dishes that were naturally vegan – and surprisingly there are quite a few vegan options in Macedonian cuisine. I have to admit though, we were also excited when we reverted to our vegetarian diet at the […]

Our Vegan Travel Challenge Has Ended, Here’s What We Learned

Charlie Marchant — Mon, 08 Feb 2016 12:00:43 +0000

This January, we took up a 31-day vegan travel challenge as part of Veganuary. We kicked off our vegan challenge in Luke’s home town of Brighton before travelling vegan in Bulgaria and then Macedonia. True to our word, we didn’t change our travel plans to fit in with our new vegan lifestyle, but instead took […]

Where to Eat Vegan in Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Charlie Marchant — Mon, 01 Feb 2016 12:00:08 +0000

There was only one place to eat vegan in Plovdiv listed on HappyCow, but after a less than satisfying time being vegan in Bansko for almost a week, I was so excited to be heading to somewhere where eating vegan just might be even slightly better for our third week of Veganuary. Travelling vegan in […]

Breaking Through & Travelling Vegan in Macedonia (Vegan Travel Challenge Week #4)

Charlie Marchant — Fri, 29 Jan 2016 12:00:11 +0000

After a trying week #3 of Veganuary, you might be expecting me to say that week #4 was even more dire. It wasn’t. It was better, because we’ve just got used to it. It feels like we’ve broken through a wall to a stage of indifference about dairy products this week. We’re not bothered that […]

Vegetarian and Vegan in Bansko, Bulgaria

Charlie Marchant — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 19:34:13 +0000

Travelling vegan in Bansko was the most difficult part of our 31-day vegan travel challenge while we were in Bulgaria. We loved our escapades as vegans in Sofia, which turned out to be a much more vegetarian and vegan-friendly city than we had expected, but just 170km away in Bansko things were very different. Bansko is […]

A Very Hungry Veganuary (Vegan Travel Challenge Week #3)

Charlie Marchant — Fri, 22 Jan 2016 11:00:58 +0000

I’d like to say that week #3 of our vegan travel challenge was as veggieful and exciting as weeks #1 and #2 of Veganuary, but it wouldn’t be true. Week #3 has been rammed with challenges, from trying to be more confident about saying we’re vegan to crazy cheese cravings. Actually, I was craving cheese like […]

Vegan in Bulgaria (Vegan Travel Challenge Week #2)

Charlie Marchant — Fri, 15 Jan 2016 12:00:19 +0000

We’re halfway through our 31-day vegan travel challenge this Veganuary, and still going! Last weekend we flew out to Bulgaria, not a country known for it’s vegan cuisine, but so far we’ve been pleasantly surprised about how well being vegan in Bulgaria has gone. Our second week of travelling vegan has been… more challenging. After an […]

Vegan Travel Bloggers Share their Favourite Travel Destinations

Charlie Marchant — Mon, 11 Jan 2016 17:09:01 +0000

As our 30 day vegan travel challenge has gotten well under way, I decided to ask a bunch of my favourite vegan travel bloggers to share their favourite vegan travel destinations with me. I was surprised to find their top vegan travel destinations span all over, from Kuala Lumpur to Iceland, and Texas to Rome. […]

What We Ate & How It Went (Vegan Travel Challenge Week #1)

Charlie Marchant — Fri, 08 Jan 2016 10:00:59 +0000

We’re one week into our 31-day vegan travel challenge as part of Veganuary. We’ve had ups and downs, we’ve experimented with new foods, we’ve stocked up on 2kg of nuts and we’ve raided Brighton‘s most delicious vegan food joints. Next we’re going to be travelling vegan in Bulgaria. The first few days of being vegan didn’t really […]
