Each time we visit London we indulge in all the good vegan food London has to offer. Trying all the things. Taking all the photos and barely ever sharing aside from a social media post that gets buried. However after the last trip, one of my friends shared that she almost texted me for recommendations. On behalf of her niece who was visiting London. She was the only vegan in the group and needed some restaurant recommendations. And thus this post was formed to share what I've found to be the …

Vegan food in Derbyshire
When we lived in England I was vegetarian so I knew that vegetarianism was big in the UK, so many stores and restaurants catered to veggies. In fact for a long time vegetarian food ranges in the UK was far superior to those in the USA. However when I opted to go 100% plant based five years ago, I noticed vegan food in the UK appeared to be lacking. Thankfully in the last 18 months there has been a shift of availability and awareness. I decided that I'd split my plant based culinary adventures …

And ultimately if you could only visit one which would I recommend? Aquarium of the bay Located at the infamous Pier 39 The Aquarium of the Bay is one of San Francisco's …

San Francisco Asian Art Museum vs MOMA
On my visit to San Francisco last month I knew one of the things I wanted to do was visit some museums and art galleries. When preparing for any trip Google is your friend. Find your location on Google maps then type in "art gallery" or "museum" and suggestions should pop up. Two of the places that popped up for the area we stayed at were the Asian Art Museum and the Museum of Modern Art [MOMA]. After looking at the website I knew I wanted to go to both, as a yoga teacher Asian art is …
