The Earthlings Experience Scotland

Making the Connection When I first started to take an interest in Veganism last year, I was following a vegetarian diet. At one point I asked myself “why do I not eat meat?” “What is being Vegetarian all about?” I felt completely disconnected with my beliefs. I also felt for the first time the urge…

The Vegan Quarter

The Vegan Quarter is a monthly market that is on the first Saturday of each month. March’s market was the first Vegan Quarter. I heard about this event a few weeks ago via a Facebook event. I am open to new products. I also think it is really important to support small and local businesses.…

The Big Fun Run 2015 – Edinburgh

In October I ran the Big Fun Run. This was my first Fun Run as a Vegan. I have run 5K’s, 10K’s and a two Half Marathon’s before. This was before I became injured. Three and half years ago I ran the Inverness Half Marathon, between the six and seven mile mark I felt something…

Leeds – A Vegan Adventure

I am officially into my third month of being Vegan. October was an interesting month. As I had started my new job in September we were sent to Leeds for training a few weeks later. Being away from home and out of my comfort zone I was quite anxious about whether being Vegan would become…

The first of October marked my first month as being Vegan. I am a third the way through this challenge. Last week I started a new jobs and had the task to find lunch, although I aim to bring my own food I decided to venture out and try the local cafes and sandwich places.…
