Egypt is definitely an impressive, surprising and overwhelming country. Just as extremely different – in a positive and negative way – as our memories of the Pharaonic country are, was our experience with the accommodation on site. We checked out everything from a noble 5-star hotel and a water park resort, guesthouses and hostels to a completely dirty and shabby 5-dollar-hovel! Here you can find out which places we can recommend – and which ones not at all. Continue reading “Our Best – and Worst – Accommodations in Egypt”
In our last article, we already introduced you to the vegan delights of Egypt. This one is about highlights as well – but about the touristic ones. We’ll tell you which cities and attractions to visit away from the all-inclusive facilities and which ones we liked best. Because Egypt has much more to offer than just the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx of Giza! Continue reading “Highlights in Egypt”
After Tenerife, with almost 1,700 square kilometers of island area, Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Canary Islands. With about 66 inhabitants per square kilometer, it is sparsely populated. In return, the oldest canary island (about 20.6 million years) offers wide sandy beaches and the protected Parque Natural de Corralejo with large shifting dunes. The almost one hundred kilometer long island is also particularly popular with water sports enthusiasts, such as surfers on the west coast, windsurfers in the north and kitesurfers on the east coast. Continue reading “Fuerteventura: Endless Sand Dunes”
The things we had previously heard about Tenerife were not very positive: mass tourism, crowded, little culture. However, what we found on the largest Canary Island were breathtakingly beautiful landscapes, crystal-clear sea pools, cute villages and just the right mix of city and nature, topped by the volcano Teide, the highest peak in Spain – in short: an island to fall in love with. All the highlights of Tenerife can be perfectly combined on a round trip, which is why we would like to introduce you to the perfect route for a Tenerife road trip.

After leaving the Algarve and so also Portugal behind us, we were still far away from our next destination – more precisely: very far, even more than 1000 kilometers. Because after that, we already headed our overwintering destination for the turn of the year 2017/2018: the Canaries! However, it was not that easy to get there. Continue reading “Waiting for the Ferry”
After presenting you the vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants of the southernmost region of Portugal in the first Algarve article, now you’ll learn what else you can do here besides eating. In addition to sunbathing at the dream beaches on the beautiful coastline, there is also plenty of action waiting for you – mostly at or even in the water! Continue reading “20 Things You Can Do at the Algarve”
The Algarve – the southernmost region of continental Portugal. Blue Atlantic Ocean, sandstone-colored cliffs, turquoise bays, beige sand beaches, white old towns and green nature parks adorn the beautiful coastline. With Europe’s most sunny days justifiably known as the sunshine paradise, all sorts of things other than sunbathing can be done here as well. However, you will learn more about that in the next article, because in this one, we introduce you to the vegan delicacies of the Algarve. Continue reading “Vegan Food Guide Algarve”
Also the other cities of the Região de Lisboa have a lot to offer. In addition to sights, fantastic beaches and the westernmost point of continental Europe, you can get also all kinds of vegan treats there. Moreover, we have two hostel recommendations for you as well. Continue reading “Vegan Guide Lisbon – Part 5: Surroundings”
In order to do justice to this city, we would probably have to write a whole book. Having been in the shadow of its “big sister” Lisbon for a long time, it is no longer unknown now, but one of the most popular tourist destinations in Western Europe. And deservedly so: UNESCO Old Town, double-deck bridge Ponte Luís I, river Douro and delicious vegan food make hearts beat faster. Whether as a city trip or a starting point to travel the north of Portugal – Porto is always worth it. Continue reading “Porto.”
