hiii, help a fellow tumblretta out?

365daysofvegan:

A friend and I are going backpacking in europe for two months.

we leave in… 78 (!) days and everything is coming together nicely.

the thing is though, eating is going to be hard.

like I don’t even know if I should try being vegan over there - we’re going to be staying with some (meat loving) german relatives, staying at hostels, needing to quickly grab a bite before jumping on the train, eating on ferries, etc.

when we eat food from markets it shouldn’t be too difficult (grab some bread, fruit, wine, nuts maybe) but I`m still ridiculously worried.

has anyone traveled through europe as a vegan? a vegetarian?

better yet, do any of my followers live in europe and have tips for finding vegan friendly food?

Ran out of space on the answer form, but there is a forum called Vegan-Europe, which might be great help aswell. They have threads by country and everything! All in all, Europe is very vegetarian/vegan friendly. Just takes a little research.
