Vegetarian & vegan travel resources

Posted by Guest on 27/10/15 in Articles, Life After Retirement, Travel

As the days get shorter and the weather becomes colder and wetter, many of us start planning our next holiday. For veggies and vegans, a big issue to consider when choosing where to go is whether your destination will cater well for your diet. Ending up in a hotel or town with few veggie and vegan options can easily make your holiday less enjoyable – especially if you are there for a long break. Fortunately there are some great resources that can help point you in the right direction. Here are a few of our favourites…
