  • Travelling while Vegan: Vancouver

    Travelling while Vegan: Vancouver

    Vancouver is a great place to be vegan if you have a way to get around. We rented a car because we are visiting family on New Westminster.

Sometimes at traditional breakfast diners you will find nothing but toast as a vegan option. There are…
