When you’re ready to embark on your next holiday here’s some Vegan Travel Essentials and Tips to keep in mind 🤩

1️⃣ Be prepared and pack snacks with protein! We know the airlines aren’t always elite when it comes to feeding vegans, so better to pack your own!
2️⃣ A next level tip is to pack small shelf-stable plant-based milks in your bag because not everywhere will have soy, oat, or almond for coffee and smoothies!
3️⃣ Don’t forget a reusable water bottle and/or coffee cup. Even reusable utensils are handy and extra eco-conscious!
4️⃣ Pack your own vegan, cruelty-free and eco-friendly toiletries. Shampoos bars are an easy on-the-go no-mess option!

Share your vegan travel tips in the comments with The Getaway Co. community 👇🥳🌎

Did you know February is 😮 It’s all about inviting people to try and creating awareness of the many options that exist! 🌱 That’s why we want to share all the local delicacies made that we get to indulge in when we travel! We host Getaways in a variety of global destinations and expose our Getaway groups to meals they’ve never even dreamed of!

1️⃣ Nasi Kuning is an Indonesian fragrant rice cooked with coconut milk and turmeric. It is often served at special occasions. We’re often served it a couple of times on our Getaway in Bali!

2️⃣ Tomatokeftedes or tomato fritters are a popular appetizer on the Greek Island of Santorini. They’re fried and contain onions, garlic and herbs. We’re obsessed!

3️⃣ Moroccan Msemen is a traditional laminated flatbread that’s often served for breakfast and at tea time as a treat. We can’t get enough!

4️⃣ Dakos Salad is a traditional Cretan recipe. You might recognize it as a Greek salad, but when we’re served this in Greece there is often barley rusk included which is a delicious double baked crouton made with barley flour.

5️⃣ Carbonara is a pasta dish typical of the Lazio region of Italy. Usually made with with fatty cured pork, pecorino Romano cheese, and eggs—hardly vegan friendly! Our chef makes a dreamy version without the cruelty!

6️⃣ Pastel de nata is a Portuguese egg custard tart pastry and it’s very common to find vegan versions now! We’re lucky to be able to try a few different ones when we travel to Portugal.

Share with us what your favorite international vegan dish or cuisine is in the comments 🤩
