    hey guys! my first travelling as a vegan, i was wondering if i can pack basic stuff to survive (has its going to be expensive to buy all these in iceland) like: nutritionnal yeast, nuts, etc? Are these items allowed in the luggages? Flying from Canada to Iceland, thanks:)

    • Hey! You can definitely pack all solid foods to Iceland, and even salad dressings and hummus and stuff if it’s under 100ml.

    • Hey Alys, welcome to VeganTravel! Being at the beginning of a new trip like the one you’re about to embark on is one of the best feelings in the world to me, I’m a bit envious 🙂 How long will you be in Iceland, and do you have other destinations mapped out for this trip (or future treks)?

    • Yay, I’m so proud of you for overcoming your anxiety to be able to travel!! I love traveling with people, but I find traveling alone so much more fulfilling, you really go on a journey to be comfortable with yourself and are able to find who that person truly is, without any expectations to play to. I wish you all the best on your travels! Keep us…[Read more]
