If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people,
you might better stay at home. ~ James Michener
We're hitting the road to visit family over the holidays. Over the next few days, we'll blog about adventures that fit our VeggieBound "journey to plant-based living."
We'll see what it's like sticking to plant-based eating while traveling. We plan to eat mostly Mexican food because Mexican menus include all kinds of yummy delicious rice, beans, tortillas and salsa combinations.
VeggieBound Roadtrip Mission
To explore our country, see different vistas and experience different communities, to seek out plant-based foods and lifestyles, and to boldly go where we've never traveled before!
VeggieBound Roadtrip Rules
- Adjust attitude to: relaxed, open-minded, adaptable and adventurous
- Dress comfortably, bring water
- Drive Historic and Scenic Routes
- Don't be afraid to take back-roads
- Stop at state tourist information offices (look for coupons!)
- Use the restroom at stops, whether you need to or not
- Watch road signs for local audio tours on radio channels (and photograph strange road signs!)
- Think a place looks interesting? Stop and check it out
- Notice what makes each area uniquely beautiful: Nevada's sage, Florida's palmettos, etc.
- The best souvenirs? Memories and photos. Leave the land undisturbed. Take your garbage with you
- Stop at fruit and produce stands
- Eat where the locals do, at "mom and pop" coffee shops and restaurants
- Stop by grocery stores and look for local products
- Be friendly, listen to what folks are talking about, enjoy their world
- Marvel at our beautiful world
