More About Me

Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:
The absolute reason is that I don't want to be responsible for the death/suffering of animals. We, as humans, have a choice to eat meat or not, so we should make the compassionate choice. Other reasons are better health and (very important!) much smaller impact on the environment.

I joined HappyCow Members Community because:
After checking for some time HappyCow's listings and reviews of veg*n restaurants in cities I visited on business trips, I wanted to know more of the site and possibly contribute as well. I also hope to make new veg*n friends.

Here are some places I've been that I liked... and places that I would like to visit one day:
I've been to almost 50 countries on all continents (well, except Antarctica!), mostly Europe and Asia. I can't remember a place I really didn't like. The list of places I'd still want to visit is much longer than my life expectancy and wallet permit, but I hope to go one day at least to Nepal, Bhutan or Tibet.

Some of my favorite veg*n foods include:
tofu, all sorts of beans, chick peas, lentils, soya-based products, pasta, rice, bamboo shoots, ginger, green peas, sweetcorn, tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes, carots, green vegetables, etc.

Here are some books, movies, magazines, and my favorites that I would recommend to other HappyCow members:
nothing really to recommend in the veg*n field, I'm actually more looking for good tips myself...
