More About Me

Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:

Vegan for me! I'm always impressed with the infinite depth in creativity that seems to arise from the simplest of ingredients. I don't consume dairy or eggs for a wealth of reasons. I think in time as the vegan product industry grows and more and more alternative options are available, dairy will continue to be phased out and the "want" will decrease.

I joined HappyCow Members Community because:

I joined for the community, the reviews and to help contribute as I venture out to my fair share of places all over the world. I am a traveling vegan.

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

I have traveled a fair amount thus far but no walls can contain my lust for annual travel. Since becoming vegan, my travel arrangements have changed and my nutritional knowledge has since bumped up. Its a challenge but I welcome it. My recent challenge was Bali, Lombok and Singapore. Some favorite vegan travel adventures were; Prague, Budapest, Colorado and Bali. I would love to visit; Greece, Nepal, Thailand, Portland, Italy, Sweden, Bora Bora.. I mean the list could really go on and on.

Some of my favorite veg*n foods include:

Seriously I love steamed veggies, avocado and bragg (or coconut aminos). Probably could live off that. Throw a handful of cashews in there and Im in heaven. Simple things remember. When I go out I do love nachos, pho, well done homemade veggie burgers and fries, macro bowls, vegan sushi, cobblers, guacamole and chips, breakfast burritos and Tom Kha Soup.

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

I have to start with Cowspiracy, a recent documentary that I highly recommend to everyone and anyone. I started my journey with these staples; Skinny Bitch (cliche but it had great points and it was an easy read), The Kind Diet, Omnivore's Dilemma, Food Inc, VegNews, Ecorazzi.com,Foodbabe, Earthling (life changing) and Forks over Knives.
