If you’ve ever traveled (especially outside of the country), then you know the truth about vegan travel. Here’s 10 vegan traveler truths!

2. You’re literally freaking out when you see all the different fruit. Look at what nature created! Look at it!

Is this Santana, Madeira, or is this vegan heaven?

3. Wishing you wrote down some translations beforehand. Is that word a type of meat? How do I say “vegan” or “no milk”. HOW DO I TELL PEOPLE I’M A VEGAN!?!

5. Wishing you could try local dishes… wishing so many weren’t made from cruelty. Mmmm what’s that? It smells good! Oh wait, it boiled lamb intestine. Nevermind.

6. Realizing fur is still very popular in some parts of the world. Finland and Russia, I’m talking to you.

9. Then you go way off the beaten path for a foreign vegan restaurant. If it’s within a 100 mile radius you’ll find it. And once you get to it you’re all like:

10. And at the end of the day you’re just overjoyed you can try all the vegan food in a foreign place. You’re a vegan master of travel.
