I explored a part of Portugal I had never been to, I explored a part of Portugal I had never been to, felt some ocean breeze then went for a nice walk around the Obidos Lagoon. It was lovely and so nice being in nature! Made a new friend who brought this delicious tempeh filled pastry for a snack. After being in lockdown for 2 months it was really good to have a day away from home! 2 1/2 more weeks of this and then restaurants open again for outdoor dining. Hope you are doing well!! . . . . . . . . . #veganportugal #obidos #obidoslagoon #hiking #nature #naturewalk #veganfoodshare #portugal #lockdown #explore #vegansofig #veganfoodporn #tempeh

I mean, just look at them! With lockdown fatigue starting to set in and no end in sight it’s really nice to #treatyoself and support a small vegan business at the same time! Hope you are feeling loved today. . . . . . . . #vegan #veganchocolate #valentineday #galentinesday #whatveganseat #veganfoodporn #supportsmallbusiness #tasty #treats #veganfoodshare #selfcare #sundayvibes #selflove
So 2020 wasn’t all bad if I really look back at So 2020 wasn’t all bad if I really look back at the year. It was a mix because that is how life works. I took advantage of being able to road trip around Portugal and it truly is such a beautiful country. I saw so many places and the river beaches this summer were the best. Despite the many negatives this country has, the positives always shine through. But I’m really not sure if I’ll stay here. I have no clue about the future and I’m not making any plans. Just staying open and optimistic about the possibilities. I’ve got nowhere to be but here in this moment. Did you set any resolutions or goals? I’d love to hear about them in comments. I need a bit of inspiration right now. . . . . . . . #topnine #travel #vegantravel #portugal #visitportugal #newyear #2021 #bye2020 #vegansofig #gardening #permaculture #girlslovetravel #veganfoodshare #plantpower #veganfoodporn #fitchicks #yoga #yogateacher
Treated myself to a lovely Christmas hamper filled Treated myself to a lovely Christmas hamper filled with vegan goodies by @portela_da_ginja. It feels nice to support small vegan businesses trying to make it, especially in a country that is still very behind when it comes to vegan food and not harming animals. I’ve been treating myself more than I normally would this year because pandemic and self-care and because I’ve been working a ton and not doing anything! So yeah, we are rolling into a new year soon and I couldn’t be happier. It’s been one hell of a challenging year! I’m very privileged that I already had work online and was able to keep that (I’m working a ton!). But I dealt with a ton of nasty bureaucracy stuff here, had my dream crushed when I couldn’t get a loan for my dream home, and battled depression on and off like so many others. Coupled with being totally alone in a brand new country during the craziest thing to ever happen in your lifetime somewhere you don’t speak the language was almost too much to bear. I’m thankful for my friends near and far. Without you I don’t know if I would have survived. I learned this year that I’m even more resilient than I could have imagined but I also can’t help but feel bad because I don’t even recognize the person in the mirror. I could care less about creating content for my blog or here anymore. There’s so much noise on social media now that I rarely even use it anymore. I don’t like what it has become. It’s scary. It’s not like anyone cares what I have to say anyways. It’s crazy to me that over a decade ago I was pioneering the vegan movement (oh yeah next year is the 10 year anniversary of my cookbook). Anyways I’m rambling and being very open and honest because I don’t see using social media any other way. I’ve always been transparent. I’m not trying to be negative but this year showed me the worst I could have ever expected to see from humanity. It’s soul-crushing. Does anyone feel like it will be impossible to come back from this horrible year? Or is it just me?
My small town in Portugal has almost no vegan food My small town in Portugal has almost no vegan food. Almost! I’m thankful there are some decent options at @eva.pecadonatural and @bambu.sushispot and I’ve got soft serve at @myicedsantarem. The service is always great too and the food is affordable. It’s not the amazing options in Lisbon but I gotta be thankful that during curfew and restricted travel I can at least go out for a meal! 2020 has been rough so finding these gems is a shining light in a sea of crap. How’s your year going? . . . . . . #vegan #veganinportugal #whatveganseat #avocadotoast #sushi #vegansushi #veganfoodporn #santarem #grateful #veganfoodshare #fitchicks #fitover40 #healthyfood #nomnom #countingmyblessings #portugal

Happy World Vegan Day!! I know it’s been a long Happy World Vegan Day!! I know it’s been a long while since I posted anything but the fact that veganism is one of the most important aspects of my life it’s time to celebrate. We can’t change the things outside of us, but we sure can change and improve what goes inside of us!! Have you thought about going vegan but don’t know where to start? Happy to help! Been vegan almost 19 years and not a day goes by that I regret that decision. Hugs from Portugal! Oh by the way, it’s harvest time around here so I ate my first pumpkin and harvested a ton of pomegranates!

I can now say I’m a Yin Yoga teacher! I took the I can now say I’m a Yin Yoga teacher! I took the quarantine as an opportunity to enrich my training with the online Mindful Yin Yoga course by @jenniferrayetravels. It’s interesting how my yoga practice has changed as I’ve aged. I’m not interested in power yoga anymore and I find myself wanting more gentle and deep practices. If you had ask me 5+ years ago if I liked yin yoga I would have said no. Now it has a place in my practice and I’m glad I can share it with my students. This training was great and tapped into Chinese medicine, which I find interesting because of my macrobiotic training. Definitely recommend it! . . . . . . #yogateacher #yinyoga #santarém #portugal #veganchef #yogi #veganyogi #ahimsa #fitover40 #fitchicks #yogapractice #yogainspiration #whatveganslooklike #vegansofig #retreat #yogaretreat #blissfulretreat Photo by: @nahal.moj
Anyone else getting lots of joy when they dote ove Anyone else getting lots of joy when they dote over their garden? I know many of my friends have become obsessed with house plants, especially those living in cities. I’m so happy to be living the #farmlife now and growing my own food. It’s funny because my grandparents had a huge farm and I absolutely hated going there as a kid. I never thought I would turn into my grandma 😂 Can’t wait for these to be pumpkins. . . . . . . #santaremportugal #santarém #portugal #garden #permaculture #permaculturegarden #growyourownfood #foodnotlawns #veganfoodshare #agricola #veganfood #ahimsa #veganchef #cookingclasses #veganrecipes #vegan #retreatcenter #yogaretreat
It’s nice to have friends that bake you cake to It’s nice to have friends that bake you cake to celebrate becoming an official resident of Portugal! That’s right folks! I’m finally official, got my resident card in the mail, and they can’t kick me out 😆 Thanks @loveeatcatering for the cake and being just a lovely person. I’m glad to have you and your friends in my life now! It has made all the difference to feeling that I belong here. I won’t lie, it’s been challenging moving to a small town and trudging through a pandemic without your closest friends. Also shout out to my neighbor @mario.agroeco who I wouldn’t have survived this pandemic without! Okay enough mushy stuff. I’m so happy to live here and I am happy to help any of my friends in the US get themselves to Europe. . . . . . . #santarém #santaremportugal #expat #portugal #friends #celebrate #newhome #yogateacher #vegan #veganchef #cookingclasses #fitnessclasses #yoga #retreat #yogaretreat #blissfulretreat #getaway #ecofriendly #veganfoodshare #veganfoodporn

I take a blanket, grab a sangria and cool off in the breeze. Seriously loving these simple pleasures since life is not the usual these days.
