Wendy Werneth, a.k.a The Nomadic Vegan, has lived, studied, worked and traveled in 100 countries (and counting!). She became vegan in 2014, and initially she was worried that her new lifestyle was going to ruin her travels. She was shocked to discover that being vegan actually made travel not worse, but better!

Eager to share the joys of vegan travel with others, she now writes vegan travel guides for vegans, aspiring vegans and vegcurious travelers who want to travel the world and eat delicious food without compromising their values.

In her books and on her website, The Nomadic Vegan, Wendy shows her readers that they can be vegan anywhere and spread compassion everywhere. She scours the globe for naturally vegan local specialties, which s

I'm really excited to finally share it with the world!

However, I do have a second book project that I will be getting back to shortly. It's called Italy for Veggie Lovers, and it's a guide to Italian cuisine and food culture through a vegan lens.

If you are vegan, vegetarian or vegcurious and are planning a trip to Italy, or if you love Italian cuisine but thought most Italian dishes would be off-limits to you after going veggie, Italy for Veggie Lovers will show you just how vegan-friendly authentic Italian cuisine really is.(less)

And I know there are also plenty of people who want to go vegan but are afraid that it will be too difficult and that they'll never be able to travel or eat out in restaurants again.

I used have those same fears, but once I finally tried vegan travel I discovered that being vegan actually made travel better, not worse! I have been blown away by the abundance of vegan options I've encountered in cuisines around the world.

In Veggie Planet, I highlight some of those vegan dishes that are part of 11 of the world's most popular cuisines and show just how vegan-friendly these cuisines really are.

I chose to focus on the most common cuisines (think Chinese, Italian, Indian, etc.), so that the book would be helpful not only for people traveling abroad but for anyone looking for a delicious vegan meal when eating out, even in their own home town.(less)

A Vegan Travel Guide to Myanmar

The civil unrest and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have not made it easy to plan a visit to Myanmar right now. I suggest you prepare yourself to visit as soon as the situation allows, because this is a country you HAVE to visit. It’s my personal favorite country in Southeast…

Quotes by Wendy Werneth  (?)

“My love for languages and my love for travel really go hand in hand and feed off of each other. There’s no better way to learn a language than by immersing yourself in a culture where it’s spoken, and there’s no better way to immerse yourself in a culture than by learning to speak the local language.”
Wendy Werneth

“What I like best about traveling is exploring new places, cultures, and cuisines, and learning to look at the world through a different lens. Travel really is the world’s best teacher. And actually, veganism offers the same thing. Becoming vegan completely changed my worldview and enabled me to connect with nature and with my fellow earthlings in a way I never had before. By combining travel with veganism, I’m able to view the world through a whole new window and experience places in a way that most other tourists don’t.”
Wendy Werneth

“Spain is more vegan-friendly than you've been led to believe. The truth is, most places are.”
Wendy Werneth

“When interacting with people, I’m always aware that I might be the first vegan this person has ever met. So I try to be a good ambassador for the movement and show that I am grateful for whatever they are able to serve me, even if it’s just some boiled vegetables.”
