More About Me

Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:

I decided to become vegan 5 years ago, after becoming more involved with animal rights / activism. It didn't make sense to me to defend animals and then eat them. So that was the main reason to change my lifestyle. Later on, it also meant having a healthier diet and protecting the environment, especially after watching Cowspiracy. I truly felt I had made the right decision.

I joined HappyCow Members Community because:

I joined HappyCow because I wanted to discover more interesting restaurants, as well as people who have the same beliefs as me.

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

Unfortunately, I have only been to Spain and it was quite brief. Still, my country ( Portugal) has amazing places to visit and the vegetarian / vegan community, as well as vegetarian restaurants is increasing and Happy Cow has helped me find several places here! Congrats! I hope I can use it abroad one day, in New York, London or in Italy :)

Some of my favorite veg*n foods include:

Avocado, tomato, risotto, sweet potato, spinach, carrots, mushrooms

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

Books - romances, namely books by Colleen Hoover, J.R.Ward, Samantha Towle Films - Die Hard, Dirty Dancing, The Notebook, The Lord of the Rings, Heat, Gone Girl, etc...so many I can't even tell. Tv Shows - Once Upon a Time, Scandal, Scorpion, Outlander, How to Get Away with Murder, The Mentalist, etc...
