Vegan Travel during the COVID-19 crisis
Please note that we are currently not accepting new bloggers to the site, nor posting anything to our social media pages, as we don’t want anyone to think that we encourage travel during this pandemic. Our team believes that international travel is currently not safe for either the visitor or the local inhabitants of the destination country traveled to. It also endangers our fellow citizens upon return to our home country. We hope you and your loved ones stay safe and well during these challenging times, and we eagerly look forward to sharing new travel experiences once this crisis is behind us.

Vegan food, culture, and elephants are probably the top three reasons Marissa and I had Thailand at the top of our list for this trip. Our trip to Thailand wouldn’t have been complete without spending time with elephants, but if […]
The line moved faster than I expected. I watched the three or so people ahead of me breeze through the Sabiha Gökçen International (SAW) Airport’s “other nationalities” passport checkpoint—in Istanbul, Turkey—without so much a glance, let alone any questions, from […]
Hi everyone, I’m Rory, a 25-year-old French girl who left her “normal” life after studies and work to explore the world with her beard-man. I love analog photography, and even during a trip with no coming home planned, I’m still […]
Flying into a place that looks like Mars, I expected it to be pretty difficult to get around from place to place without the help of aliens. Even on a map, it really only looks like there is one road […]
So…the day AFTER Vegan Beer & Food Fest in Portland, we decided to have a little food crawl. I was joined by @jaclynmiller, @heyshae, @lifestylewithme and our friend @uhhuhyeah as we ate our way through the city. The following is […]

A Note on the Enormous Impact Aviation has on Climate
Airplanes burn billions of gallons of fossil fuel each year emitting around 2% of our total global CO2 emissions. And sadly, sustainable alternative fuels for airplanes are still a long way off. These days airlines appear to be banking on convincing potential flyers to purchase “carbon offsets” to help ease our conscience about our travel footprint, but many consider offsets greenwashing intended to falsely reassure the flying public.
Our community is faced with an ethical conundrum when it comes to air travel. On the one hand, travel opens our eyes to so many wonderful experiences and contributes to our overall understanding of our place in this amazing world. On the other, in choosing air travel we may be contributing to climate change and to the current extinction crisis (over 200 species are going extinct every day).
Travel by air is often the only realistic way to travel to another continent. But there are far more eco-friendly ways to travel within our home continent or once you arrive at your initial destination such as trains, coaches, and even electric vehicles as they become more affordable. Some in our community have pledged to completely stop flying, while others choose to fly less and travel more by public transport. Whatever you decide, we hope you will choose to better inform yourself about climate change and make your voices heard.
Our goal at VeganTravel is to provide useful information for our fellow vegan travelers while helping grow compassion by showing the world how easy it is to travel as ethical vegans. Whether you are a seasoned travel blogger or someone new to traveling, we enthusiastically welcome you to share your vegan travel experiences on this site. If you would like to share your travels on VeganTravel.com.
