Happy Herbivore in Switzerland Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Travel

Zurich was my last city with Scott, Jim (my best friend) and his girlfriend. After Zurich, they all went home while I went on to Spain. 

The train ride through the Alps from Italy to Switzerland was beautiful.They're building a more direct route that will go through the mountain, rather than zig-zagging around it, so we all felt very lucky to have the opportunity to enjoy this scenic train ride while you still can. 

As for Switzerland itself, Zurich …

Happy Herbivore in Europe: Salzburg Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Travel

The hills are alive!

I first found my way to Salzburg 5 yrs ago; it was an impromptu stopover during my travels and I had such a great time exploring that when we had some extra time on our hands (traveling between Innsbruck, Austria and Croatia) I quickly suggested a pit stop in Salzburg.

I will be recommending this place time and …

All of us ordered the exact same plate---we just had to have it! Grilled vegetables plus tofu.

Delish!

Happy Herbivore in Europe: Milan Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Travel

I have had pizza and salad in every Italian city I've visited. Cliche? perhaps... but I cannot get enough of the fresh vegetables!

Like Venice Milan gets a Veg stamp of approval too with lots of veg and vegan-friendly options on every menu.

Even a locals-only bar we stopped at offered a complementary platter (with drink order) that was vegetarian -- we sent the cheese back, but nomed on the olives, pickles, pearl onions and tomatoes!

I tried a local …
