What Do Vegans Eat & Do On Holidays – Vegan Travel

When vegans travel their top concern is always, “where or what will we eat”? It’s nothing to get discouraged over but it is something that might need some extra planning or effort. Depending on where I’m travelling to, I will actually plan out our trips based on which vegan restaurants I want to try out. 

It can get a lot easier when you’re planning your vegan travel to a cabin, no matter how remote the area is. “Why” you ask? Well because all you need is a grocery store and if you’re concerned about what the local grocers may or may not carry, well then get your groceries before your road trip & just travel with them in coolers or insulated bags. 

Where did we go?

My husband and I had an incredibly busy work year. Most of you would know that I shot 2 Pilot TV shows & a full 10 episode show this year. Which means I usually worked over 62 hours a week because that’s how film & tv life work 😅. My husband is a director/editor/producer & if he’s not on set he’s editing usually all day and many nights. So needless to say, we really needed a getaway. 

We didn’t want to fly anywhere or travel too far so we decided on a relaxing getaway somewhere in Northern Ontario, Canada. Because I was still wrapping up my show I told my husband to just pick it all and plan it all for me/us and let me just tell you, HE DID SO GOOD!

Aaron found a beautiful log cabin in the South Bruce Peninsula which is near the Sauble Beach area. This cabin had ALL of the amenities and then some. 

• Lake Access
• Fireplace
• Fire Pit
• Sauna
• Hot Tub
• Quiet & Private
• Big Comfy Bed & Bedding
• Beautiful Clawfoot Bathtub
• Laundry
• And way more space then 2 ppl need

Where did he find such an incredible log cabin? Airbnb!

I know there are other sites similar to Airbnb nowadays which is so awesome. When I travel, of course depending on where I’m going, I either like to be in a nice hotel or an Airbnb. I like being able to have my own kitchen and my own space in the town. It’s nice to feel like a townie sometimes right 🤪.

So, when in doubt, try Airbnb or other similar sites & apps. You can checkout where we stayed right here. 

What did we do?

First of all, let’s start with what we didn’t do! 

We did not:

• Turn on the TV
• Go on our Phones

We really wanted to unplug. With our careers we have to stare at computer, iPad, phone screens all of the freaken time. So this was a really great experience to just completely and fully disconnect. We listened to music but that was about all that we did on our phones.

We went exploring! Because the cabin was right across from the water, on our very first day we decided to go on a walk/hike. There was a beautiful trail that led us across the beach and then we continued on through the forest which led to another beach access point. 

We wanted to have a healthy little vegan travel getaway so we carried on with a morning workout which mainly consisted of a run or walk followed by a yoga flow or some yin yoga. Then we would have breakfast and get ready to start our daily spa routine. 

1. Get the sauna’s wood burning started
2. Get the fire pit burning
3. Read a few chapters of Where The Crawdad’s Sing while the sauna gets nice & toasty (have you read this book? It’s incredible!)
4. Fill our water bottles
5. Have a quick cold rinse
6. Get in the sauna
7. Cold rinse
8. Get in the hot tub
9. Cool off in the hammock or by the fire pit
10. REPEAT!!!

This was our daily schedule for the entire week pretty much & we enjoyed every second of it! 

But what did we eat on this vegan travel you ask?

Basically everything! We had pasta, nachos, salads, smoothies, soup, ravioli, and all of the snacks! My husband being a Type 1 Diabetic always has to know that there’s enough food/sugars/carbs in the house incase he has a low reading. So before our road trip we went to our local vegan grocer, Coven and picked up any vegan snacks that we knew we would most likely not find at the grocers in the Bruce Peninsula. 

So, as you can see, it’s super easy to do spur of the moment vegan travel trips. Road trips are actually the best way to ensure that you have all of your vegan needs before arriving to your destination. You don’t have to worry about what you’ll be able to find there because you will have already stalked up on all of the goodies beforehand.

Also, most towns have a local grocer where you know you’ll be able to get all of your whole food needs. Vegan travel doesn’t have to be complicated so that’s why I wanted to share our little getaway with you all.
