Book cover for How Not to Travel the World: Adventures of a Disaster-Prone Backpacker

How Not to Travel the World: Adventures of a Disaster-Prone Backpacker by Lauren Juliff

“I made the choice to be vegan because I will not eat (or wear, or use) anything that could have an emotional response to its death or captivity. I can well imagine what that must feel like for our non-human friends - the fear, the terror, the pain - and I will not cause such suffering to a fellow living being.”
