Greetings, everyone!
I’m Chantal and I’m from NYC. I was first introduced to the word “vegan” by my college dorm neighbor as a freshman. After she shared PETA literature with me, I tried a meatless meal but felt unsated, so determined I couldn’t be vegan. Thankfully, the social justice community around me gave me many reasons to reconsider my…[Read more]Users who liked this:

Thank you for sharing more about you and your nomadic vegan family, Chantal! I’m really glad you’re part of the VeganTravel community, and I can’t wait to see more of what you’ll share throughout your travels. Any locations picked out for your upcoming move abroad again?

Back to Oman, the Jewel of Arabia! 🙂
It’s really one of the safest places I’ve ever lived. Aside from the heat, our family is looking forward to returning.

It gives me so much hope for the future to see kids being raised vegan. Keep doing what you’re doing!!
I read some of your posts on your websites, you have a really captivating voice, it really made me feel like I was there with you.

Thanks so much, Michelle! 🙂
I lived in Algeria and Morocco and ate a lot of lentils and couscous and bread when eating out. Not great for gluten-free diners. :/
Here are some of my tips for vegan dining in the Middle East and North…[Read more]

Hi, I will view your website, Chantal. It is very promising to hear that the middle east has an abundance of vegan places. Well, I’m not surprised, with the delicious Middle Eastern cuisine, it’s no doubt that vegan food would be quite yummy.

I might need some of your tips! My company is trying to entice me to move to Dubai… Also very interested

Ooh…Dubai has great vegan options due to the large expat community. It’s not my favorite city but you’ll eat well there.

Thank you, Alan! I really appreciate your acknowledgement. 🙂
Which country, if you don’t mind my asking?-
I’m happy to talk about my father. He was from Morocco and grew up in the Medina in Rabat. His mother tongue was Arabic, and loved spending time with our extended Moroccan family with whom he frequently switched languages between Arabic, French, and English. He immigrated to New York in his mid-twenties, where he met my mom.

I spent a couple of months visiting family & touring around Morocco on my own back in 1982. And my father, kids, and I spent a few weeks visiting family and…[Read more]
