More About Me

Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:

If i were to eat animals I'd have to be able to kill the animal myself and never could. Meat production leads to huge amounts of global warming, worse than car emissions, a fact which is never publicized. It's unhealthy to eat meat, another fact which the meat industry has conspired to hide from the public. The thought of eating animal flesh grosses me out!

I joined HappyCow Members Community because:

I travel a lot and have found so many great places on here, whereas before I'd be scratching around to find something edible. This site is invaluable and I can't recommend it to people enough, it's an institution.

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

Places I've been that I liked include Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Spain, Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Egypt, Mexico, Vietnam, Nepal, Canada, parts of the USA (Chicago, Boston, LA, Austin, and New York) Holland, Denmark, Cambodia, Japan, Philippines, Portugal, Macedonia, China and Poland. Places I'd like to see Guatemala, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Honduras, Ethiopia, Cuba.
