Vegan Food during Travel (beehaw.org)

Hey y'all. Idk if this is the community for this because it seems mostly link posts, but here goes:

How do you go about finding food in a country you don't speak the language of? I've just came back from an Italy hiking "vacation" that caused me two meltdowns in just 4 days. It was a really rough hike and I've been the weakest of the group and didn't make it to the top. I don't want to go into details but i had a really rough time and food usually is my comfort zone helping me reset from the shitty stuff.

Now the problem was that i don't speak Italian and we went to a bunch of cool looking places only to see the menu was not translated and didn't have vegan or not labels on it so i caused everyone to not go there. So instead of comfort, food search was more anxiety inducing and I'd like to avoid that in the future. It's been the first time for me to visit a foreign country since going vegan and I was shocked by the lack of consideration for vegans in a lot of places.

So yeah how do you prep for tours where you don't know which part of which town you're on every day?

Another vote for Happy Cow. Makes it easy to bookmark a few places near where you're staying and planning to visit.

There was also another app I used to use which I think was called something like vegan passport? It had written in a bunch of languages that you were vegan and what that meant in good detail. Haven't been able to find it again last time I checked though.

That vegan passport sounds really useful. I guess i could in prep for whenever i travel next research the words in that language to describe veganism at least. And yeah I'll absolutely get happy cow. Sounds like an amazing app
