More About Me

Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:

I originally became a vegetarian/vegan for ethical reasons. I have since found many other wonderful benefits including better health and less impact on the environment.

I joined HappyCow Members Community because:

I found HappyCow after searching online for some vegan restaurants in Brisbane and Europe. I found it so easy to view and navigate, and members were writing honest, concise and helpful reviews. So naturally I wanted to give back to the community by sharing my own experiences and information about restaurants.

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

In general or for food? Of course I love Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Melbourne is great for food and arts. Cairns for fruits and forests. Germany is a beautiful place to visit, I highly recommend it and they have a lot of veggie options and better farming practises. Greece is lovely too. Thailand has amazing vegan food but otherwise it's so-so. I want to explore Canada, Nepal and Japan, and also return to see more of Europe.

Some of my favorite veg*n foods include:

I most love fruit and eat a tonne of it, particular favourites include mangoes, flat peaches, mandarines and mangosteens. I love almost all fruit though, as long as it's in season, picked appropriately, good quality and ripe! Yes, even durian. It's not my favourite, and as I said it needs to be good durian, the sweet and creamy kind. I just don't like guava or noni, seriously just stay away. Not even ants or cockroaches will touch noni. Watermelon, grapes, papaya, oranges and apples are great too. Simple banana smoothies are a favourite too. Salads, lasagne, curries, soups, noodles and simple potato or sweet potato mash or a plate of steamed vegetables are among my other favourites. And cakes, I'm a bit obsessed with cakes. I love food haha :D

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