“I’m vegan.”
“I don’t eat fish or meat.”
“I don’t eat butter, cheese, eggs, or milk.”

Another great option is to download the V card app. It has a lot of useful phrases for vegans that are translated into over 100 languages. From there, you can show the translation on your phone so that the tourist guide or staff can understand you properly.

Connect with Vegan Travelers

Another great way to travel with ease as a vegan is to connect with other vegan travelers. You can visit various travel forums or groups and ask for advice, suggestions, or recommendations. Remember, most people in these forums or groups have already visited your destination. As such, they will have some information regarding the best spots you can visit. You can also seek the help of the locals for a better experience.
