Our first vegan experience in New Zealand was in Dunedin. We checked the HappyCow! app to have a first impression about out options and the selection wasn't too impressive. There were only four pure plant-based options of which, one was closed, two were too expensive and only one was good for budget travelers. However, after chatting with some local vegans we found out that most restaurants offer at least some plant-based options next to their … [Read more...] about Vegan Review of Dunedin

Nugget Point Lighthouse The road … [Read more...] about The Southern Scenic Drive
