Micronesian Round-Up
When we first looked at coming here, to Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia, I googled. Naturally. What I found was pretty disheartening. I found tales of woe from vegans, stories of vegetarians who ate fish, or gave up and left … Continue reading

Micronesia
We’re here and I’m back online (sometimes). I think a quick vegan-travel update is required. Also, check out these pretty photos: VGML We flew continental, and were given a meal on each plane- pita, calzone and wrap (each on different … Continue reading
