The travel adventures of two geordie vegans
All tourists know of Khao San road – it’s the infamous party street that has been fuelling backpackers and visitors alike with beer, clothing and awful ‘shock’ foods such as fried scorpions for many years. While I’ll admit I partook in the street beer and […]
As a vegan, you’d probably think in-flight meals are a no-go. Gone are the times of packing your hand luggage full to the brim with snacks (although we did this anyway on our recent flight from Heathrow to Bangkok), as we’ve discovered there are an […]
As an avid lover of sushi, I probably haven’t spent as much time at Yo Sushi as I should have. I’m a huge fan of Nudo, both the noodle house and the sushi boxes, so, to me, Yo has always seemed a bit of a gimmick. However, recently I’ve noticed an increasing buzz online as the chain’s vegan menu has started to grow, so I figured it was my duty as a vegan to try it out! And, unsurprisingly, since discovering ‘Blue Mondays‘, where Yo offers a significant range of dishes at blue plate prices (£2.90 a pop), I’ve become quite the fan of the chain’s offering.
The internet is filled with easy to answer questions. Thanks to the power of search engines, people can have their curiosity satisfied in milliseconds. For basic questions such as ‘what is a vegan?’ – which is searched thousands of times a month in the UK […]
As both vegans and bargain hunters, we work hard to find the best quality produce for the lowest prices when shopping for food. Since there’s not one holy grail supermarket here in the UK, we often find ourselves visiting a few different places each week […]

However, now we are finally doing it. We’ve handed in our notices, we’ve book one-way flights and bought outdoor backpacks… so, why now?
As a vegan, it can be hard to get up close and personal with the animals we love so much. Since we don’t visit zoos or farms, our opportunities to experience the animal kingdom can limited. Consequently, we were so excited to take a trip […]
While Ellen whisked herself off to Benidorm, I found myself floating across the sea towards the Netherlands. Once, when I was a humble vegetarian just starting my journey towards a meat-free diet, I visited the Dutch capital and found it fairly difficult to find good […]
Saving the planet is more than just turning off the lights when you leave a room and recycling a plastic bottle after use, it’s about making conscious efforts and putting serious thought into saving this planet we call home. We share Earth with billions of other human beings, and even more other living creatures, yet us, the human race, have taken ownership of destroying our planet.
Last February I had just been promoted to a management position after a year working for a relatively large company here in the North East of England. I just picked up my company car (a Nissan Juke I bumped in my first week, having no […]
