More About Me

Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:

I became vegan for ethical reasons. I have always loved animals and somehow always knew and said that at some point I wanted to go vegetarian, yet never got enough "courage" to do so. Until one day, something clicked. I became vegan cold turkey from this day on. It's a journey, as sometimes, it is really difficult to find 100% vegan options (especially when eating out... you never really know what they put in your plate) But I'm feeling confident and proud to finally being able to be aligned with my convictions.

I joined HappyCow Members Community because:

Because I hope I can help people with reviews or tips, hopefully find some people to hang out with, and find ideas on where to eat next while going out

Here are some places I've been that I liked... and places that I would like to visit one day:

I've travelled around France a little bit, and also the following countries : Spain (Sevilla), Japan, Netherlands, Swiss, Italy. I'd love to travel (almost) all around the world !!!

Some of my favorite veg*n foods include:

Anything with fruits /Oats /Smoothies / Raw cakes or balls Nuts, seeds as whole or peanuts puree (not butter, no need for additional oil or salt!) Risottos, pastas, oven cooked potato fries (not a fan of deep fried fries) Chili sin carne, tacos... Gaspacho And big bowls of tasty veggies !!! Oh and I almost forgot 100% cocoa chocolate ???? Italian and Indian cuisine can be really vegan friendly and sooo delicious.

Here are some books, movies, magazines, and my favorites that I would recommend to other HappyCow members:

One of my favorite fiction is My sister's keeper. Such a beautiful yet deeply saddening story. Very well written. Back when I was a teen my favorite books were The princess diaries. I also used to read a lot of mangas, my favorite being Lovely Complex. Nowadays I don't read as much but that's because I don't take time for it. Still enjoy a good book when I find one. As for movies my favorites are : The 5th element & A muppet christmas carol. I also love Moulin Rouge, The nightmare before Christmas, Spirit, The silence of the lambs, The uninvited, 10 things I hate about you, and so many more...
