One of the most common questions I am asked (as a frequent traveler) is how I manage with food as I am a vegetarian. I have never has any problem finding food in any country that I have traveled to so far. You already know I think food is a nuisance. I don't mean that I don't like food, but I think it takes good 30% of the day to plan, prepare and then eat. That's whole lot of time, I could spend doing nothing something! As always, I digress.
I rely on breakfast to fuel me for the majority of the day, in everyday life but especially while traveling. My preference is always a hotel where breakfast in included in the room rate, just so I have one less thing to think about. Things that you can always find in breakfast (in most countries):
- Oatmeal / Cereal / Granola
- Fruits (Banana, Apple, other seasonal fruits)
- Baked good (cookies, muffins, croissants)
- Pancakes / Waffles / Crepe
- Toast and Jam
- Milk / Coffee / Tea
If you are lucky you might also find potatoes and other vegetables. And as far as I am concerned that's plenty of food to start the day with.
Also, I would like to mention, if you plan to travel the world, you have to learn to be flexible about your eating habits. For some it might mean, venturing into new foods, and may be even turn non-vegetarian but for me it means eating what I find and not fuss over variety and quantity. To each their own, right?
So that's how I survive while traveling - Breakfast!
