Traveling Tips

Here are some essential traveling trips you may not already know!

- Bring a reusable water bottle with a water filter. This is helpful because most public access to water, is very poor quality.

- Exchange some money at your local bank in the US before you leave. It's very expensive to exchange money at the airport and you may want some food or drink when you arrive.

- Buy a chip for your phone to use while you’re there, unless you plan on depending on wifi hot spots to search directions and local food and drink.

- Call your phone and credit card company to let them know where you'll be and how long to avoid cc delays when you’re buying groceries :)

- Walk around by foot to get to know the area better!

-Find a local grocery store to stock up on whole-food, plant-based dried goods (rice, beans, oatmeal, nuts, seeds, pasta etc.) and fresh produce (fruits and vegetables )

- Make sure your apartment has all the cooking utensils you will need before you go shopping.

- Prepare most of your meals if you have you’re own kitchen to save money for experiences and souvenirs

- Ask locals where the best vegetarian and vegan restaurants are located or download the Happy Cow app to search yourself.

- Grocery stores may not have the same food products you have at home, but they will always have some variation of plant based, whole foods. Stick with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, peas, potatoes tubers, nuts, seeds, plant oils and fats. 

Enjoy!
