Take planning to another level when you’re travelling with a specific diet. Nafisa Dahodwala of Zafigo speaks to resident vegan warrior Davina Goh about her food misadventures
Safety. Accommodation. Food.
These are three things that come to mind before I start laying down travel plans. Safety: because I’d like no harm to befall me; accommodation: because I refuse to sleep on a bench in the park, and food: because after a long day of exploration, I like to have a nice full meal that re-energises me for the next day.
An article that recently appeared on The Huffington Post says that food-based tourism is on the rise and that discovering new cuisines is a part of the overall travel experience more than ever before. So, imagine this – you’re standing outside a kebab stall across from Istanbul’s magnificent Sultanahment. The delicious aroma from the barbecue is making your stomach churn with hunger. Unfortunately, you can’t bite into that succulent kebab, because you’re a vegetarian!
How does one deal with these food misadventures when travelling? To answer this very question, we spoke to vegan specialist and advocate of all things plant-based, Davina Goh. It started off as a way to share recipes with friends, but this Malaysian’s website (DavinaDaVegan) quickly started receiving praise from other vegan enthusiasts for her creative recipes and fun approach to a plant-based lifestyle.
