It seems everybody around me is trying to get fit, stay in shape or generally become healthier and I love it cause that shit’s important, yo. People begin to become more aware of their health once they leave home and they have to buy their own food and groceries. Everyone knows about the trap that…

I Was Vegan For a Year and This Is What Happened
On the 25th of January 2016 I did something that would change my life forever. I became vegan. This decision was not based off some moral or profound inclination to save the animals. Nor was it to be more environmentally friendly. It was not even a choice I made because I wanted to be healthier….
9 Months in
The month I give birth to a vegetable baby. I’ve been vegan for the length of a human pregnancy. This feels like a milestone although, in the grander scheme of things, 9 months is nothing. Once again, I feel like I’ve been doing this forever while also being consciously aware of the fact that it’s…
Months 6 and 7

Lemon and Soy Sauce Mushroom Spaghetti
It’s the last month of winter and I could not be more happy. This winter made me realise how much I actually hate winter. It’s cold, it’s difficult to get warm, indoor heating in Namibia is something that does not exist, the display of fruit and vegetables at the shops is depressing and the sun…

Guys, I’m telling you, the vegans are onto something here. Being vegan. It’s like stepping into a goldmine full of goodness, greatness,…
3 Months In
Vegan for three months. Feels like forever while simultaneously feeling like it’s only been a day. I feel like I’ve been vegan my whole life but then when I think of people who have been vegan for years and years and years 3 months is nothing. I feel like a veteran but I’m a rookie….
Bircher Muesli
It’s tough out here being a vegan during breakfast time. You only realise how many animal products are in staple breakfasts once you can’t eat them anymore. It can kind of be disheartening because if you already thought breakfasts were limited imagine how limited they are without eggs or bacon or yogurt. It’s the streets…
Two months in
I’m two months into being a vegan and I feel a mixture of surprise and confusion. Surely two months is long enough to start feeling the affects this new lifestyle has on my body; the good and the bad. But for some reason there are only positives. I have more energy than ever, I feel…
