The year is coming to an end, and I felt like it was time to post a new blog. I’ve definitely been slacking these past few months, and now that I finished my first semester of my Master’s degree, I have some time to reflect. I’m quite happy to say that although this year has […]
Being vegan for 4 years now seems like a lot for some people, but it pales in comparison to the decades some people have been following this lifestyle for. I truly feel privileged to have learned about veganism at an early stage of my life where I was still mentally and physically developing at a […]
After having watched a video by Earthling Ed on vegetarianism, I started to reminisce all the times in my life where people had told me that veganism is extreme. I never quite understood why this case is brought up, especially considering that veganism is a lifestyle that is quite easily manageable. Nowadays, it’s easy to […]
Before I thought about writing these reviews, I asked myself a simple question: what is the end goal here? I really wanted to figure out what I would achieve by writing this article in the first place. Do I recommend both of these books? Absolutely.

In our garden in Croatia, she grows everything from tomatoes, onions, garlic, cabbage, eggplant, corn (and many more veggies). Various herbs, an array of beautiful flowers and the prettiest fig and hazelnut […]
It is not uncommon for me to hear these words by carnists “I commend you for being vegan, I wouldn’t ever be able to do it!” “How can you be vegan? I get vegetarianism, but veganism is extreme!” Or my favorite… “Being vegan is so hard, I could never quit cheese!” The point being made […]

Originally published on Medium.com 30 January 2020 My first time having to thoroughly explain what veganism is was when I was in Jordan.
