January 7, 2019 No Comments

Melbourne is the first city we visited in Australia and after exploring Japan it was quite a change. We only spend 3 days in Melbourne which was totally enough to get a feeling for the vibe of the city and visit the main attractions. Make sure you plan 3-4 days additionally to explore the famous Great Ocean Road close to Melbourne. We had so much fun dancing through the markets, enjoying strolls along the river and finding all the street art. And I think I don’t even have to mention the amazing vegan food in Fitzroy.

First of all it is possible! We spent a month in French Polynesia and went to big islands like Tahiti as well as very small atolls like Tikehau and managed to find vegan food in all places with more or less effort. It doesn’t matter if you are traveling on a tight budget or luxurious, vegan food is available in all price categories. Nevertheless it is not always easy to find vegan food especially if you are eating out. French and Polynesian cuisine is mainly consisting of fish and meat dishes, so a lot of places from 5 star hotels to little street restaurants don’t offer any vegan options. In the following article we will share the vegan gems we found during our trip as well as useful tips for planning your vegan dream holiday in Tahiti, Mo’orea, Huahine, Bora Bora, Rangiroa and Tikehau.
