Hi Diana. Veganuary is really excellent and Veganuary run good newsletters, blogs and social media to help/encourage those trying out a vegan diet for the first time. It’s a really cool online community and definitely makes the transition easier.

You mention other vegan travellers and their approach, in my opinion the way to go about it is to do what makes you happy. It’s your body and your choice, no one can point a finger and say you’re doing it wrong :)

Hey Natalie – thanks for all your comments throughout our Veganuary journey, really appreciate them! That’s interesting about dairy for you as well – I don’t like to make too many assumptions about those kinds of things because every body is different and it can be really hard to tell the cause of things like bloating, but having cut out gluten previously and now dairy, I saw a more significant impact on a reduced dairy diet with that.

I’d love to go to Copenhagen – I have some travel envy there! Exciting to hear that it was (mostly) vegan-friendly!

Hi Wendy! Thanks for all your support through Veganuary – it was really amazing and all of your suggestions were really useful! I appreciate your open-minded response to our decision too. I feel that definite parameters are very important to make sure we don’t ending up lapsing back to how we were before. We only have 6 weeks left at home in the UK, and then we’ll be travelling full-time again. We’re planning on the same strict 2 days per week as vegans, but we’ll definitely be eating more vegan meals and cooking vegan too. I’ve only had one non-vegan meal since coming home on Thursday (one of our dedicated vegan days not included in that time) so I’m positive that we’ll be able to keep it up even more at home.

It sound like you have a very sensible approach in mind for eating on the road in the future. I’ve decided to stay vegan since has Veganuary ended but also intend to be more flexible when travelling and adopt the same kind of approach that you are. I’ve just been to Copenhagen but that’s luckily a very vegan-friendly city so I got on well with very little extra effort (though I still ended up with unexpected cheese on one dinner!).

Thaaanks! We’re pleased that it has been too, because in the beginning we were really unsure what it would mean for our travels, health and happiness. I’ve received some excellent advice from other vegan travellers since trying out veganism and have been really touched that so many people have supported us this year!
