As far as I know Phnom Penh isn’t widely regarded as a foodie’s paradise. And since it had been eight long years since my last trip to Cambodia, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect from the city’s food scene. Because I’m a vegetarian I was slightly nervous that Phnom Penh wouldn’t have much to offer…
For Aaron and I, one of the toughest parts of traveling is that we are vegetarian. We both stopped eating meat in high school (long before we ever met) and we’ve both stayed true to our herbivorous ways for the past 14 years. Neither of us eats meat or fish and we have to be wary…

But I have to admit, I was less than enthused about the prospect of being a vegetarian in Penang. I seriously questioned…
As I ventured out for my first Colombian meal I sardonically said to my boyfriend, “Screw it, I’m going to eat churraso (grilled meat) today.” And though I’ve been a strict vegetarian for nearly 15 years, that’s exactly what I did. I was absolutely famished after traveling 15 hours from Los Angeles to Bogotá. And…
If you’re a vegetarian, eating in Southeast Asia can be frustrating to say the least. In Vietnam, I can’t even convey how many times I repeated the phrase “no fish sauce” just to smell the overwhelming aroma of nước mắm (fermented fish sauce) wafting from my bowl of vegetarian phở (Vietnamese noodle soup). In Thailand my requests for “no…
