✈️ 🏝 To all my eco-conscious friends, we’ll soon see the day when travel won’t have such a detrimental impact on nature (carbon emissions from flights, impact on local communities, the waste generated by travelers are just a few problems). Until then, don’t judge yourself if you want to explore the world. Instead, focus on ways to reduce your negative footprint to make your travel more sustainable. Here are a few easy sustainable travel tips to make you a responsible traveler: 1. 🌱 Eat plant-based & explore local cuisine : The easiest sustainable choice you can make while traveling is eating local, and choosing plant-based foods. Your body & planet will love you! 2.✅ C hoose conscious accommodation : Support hotels that are rooted in sustainable values & are giving back for the welfare of communities and the planet. There are options now in every category - from luxury sustainable hotels to budget eco-options. You even have a vegan version of AirB&B where
Just a few years ago, the list of restaurants that served vegan food in Dubai would have been painfully short. Now, you are spoilt for choice and it’s hard to narrow down the options; thanks to the plant-based revolution in its full force. And with good reason. Taking off animal products from your diet is not only great for your health but also for the planet. I'm not saying it, its proven by science. Researchers at the University of Oxford found that cutting meat and dairy products from your diet could reduce an individual's carbon footprint from food by up to a whopping 73 percent. When it comes to breakfasts we all love one that's packed with flavor, taste and nutrition. In the last few years, the obsession with wellness in Dubai has gone through the roof, and the city had an explosion of workout studios, juice bars, and turmeric everything. And nowhere is this more apparent as on the food front. The falafel-and-karak chai culture of Dubai has evolved. In its place, gr
Copenhagen charmed me with its trendy vibes, cutting-edge eco-architecture, very warm and friendly people, traffic jams of cyclers {not cars}, its focus on sustainability and amazing vegan food (who could have thought?). Copenhagen is an interesting city, with a compact downtown area and lots of canals, which makes it easier to explore it on foot. It is built around waterways and has many beautiful parks and gardens, making walking around the city a delight, even in winter. Honestly, Copenhagen is more of a lifestyle place and is far different from other beautiful capital cities in Europe like Paris, London or Amsterdam. So don't be disappointed if you don't see the colorful buildings all over Copenhagen, as it seems in the pictures, or can't find romantic streets or fancy museums, because there aren't any. Being a Scandinavian city, it is outrageously expensive too. Yet this city has its charm, and once you explore it, you're most likely going to love it.
Traveling the world is one of the most fulfilling experiences you can score in life; it's enriching, it's liberating and it can be both exhilarating and peaceful at the same time. Traveling will broaden your mind in a way that nothing else possibly can. In many ways, it's one of the best investments you'll ever make for yourself. When it comes to traveling as a vegan {and sustainably}, the equation changes a little bit compared to conventional travel. While you'll get to enjoy exotic destinations and be swept up in a whirlwind of exotic cultures, when it comes to your food and accommodation choices, proper planning and research is a must as a vegan responsible traveler. How is a vegan traveler different from a conventional traveler? Vegan traveling means maintaining your vegan lifestyle even while you’re away from home, aka avoiding any kind of exploitation of and cruelty to animals. For me, vegan traveling is more than that…………. I eat not only j

Endowed with an endless list of breathtaking attractions, the Cappadocia region of Turkey, also known as the city of caves, offers an exotic and invigorating vacation.
