About me

Hi! My name is Shannon, and I’m thrilled to embark on this blogging journey with you. Here, I’ll be sharing my travel stories, tips on eating vegan while traveling, and insights into my life. As a passionate advocate of solo female travel, I aim to inspire and empower other women to explore the world confidently and safely. Whether you’re looking for inspiration to explore new destinations or seeking advice on how to find the best vegan spots around the world, I hope my blog becomes a go-to resource for you.

My Love for (Solo) Travel

Traveling has always been an integral part of my life. I cherish every memory of exploring different countries, feeling the warm sand between my toes on tropical beaches, and indulging in delicious street food. These experiences have only fueled my ‘Sehnsucht’ (the German word for longing) for the unknown.

In 2018, at the age of 22, I embarked on my first solo female travel adventure to Spain, spending almost six weeks exploring the vibrant culture. My mother, ecstatic that I was visiting one of her favorite countries, gave me the much-needed push. A few months later, I went on a one-week trip to Lisbon, Portugal, further igniting my passion for solo travel.

If you’re looking for inspiration or a little nudge to take that trip you’ve been dreaming about, I’m here to help. I’ll be sharing my tips on solo female travel, staying in hostels, budget travel, and more.

Eat Good. Feel Good.

But travel isn’t my only passion; I also have a deep love for vegan food. Now, before you roll your eyes at another vegan telling you how to eat and live, let me assure you, those judgmental stares are reserved for my father and brother (and only in good fun).

My journey to veganism began with a bet at the age of 15. A friend dared me to give up meat for six months. Not only did I win, but I also decided to continue being vegetarian. In 2016, after watching several documentaries on Netflix, I transitioned to a vegan diet and swapped my plastic toothbrush for a bamboo one. While I encourage you to check out Cowspiracy, my goal isn’t to force veganism on you.

Instead, I’m here to provide you with tips on how to eat vegan while traveling, and share my favorite restaurants and food spots. Whether you’re a seasoned vegan traveler or just curious about plant-based options, I hope to make your culinary adventures easier and more enjoyable.
