Frugal Vegan Travel

I've had some work-related travel of late, something that occurs generally 2-3 times a year, when I attend conferences, and it reminded me that I've never posted about the cheap vegan travel solution I finally wised up to 2 years ago or so: bring a hot pot.

I have no idea why it took me so long to figure this out, but with a hot pot, a can opener, and some personal-sized almond milks, I am an invincible cheapskate traveling vegan, someone who arrives to their hotel and needs for nothing.  

On this particular trip I brought apples, granola bars, a couple vegan breakfast shake mixes, a box of vegan mac and cheese, cans of chili and bean soup, and some Starbucks Via instant coffee.  Sometimes I'll also pack hummus and crackers.  :)

bigmouth strikes again, again?

The last year and a half or so has been really, really intense.  It has been a not-all-bad, but very dramatic time, a time of keeping my head above water and not so much of vegan cooking and travel and the things I used to post about here.  Or at least, I haven't had time or energy to blog about those little bits of normalcy or leisure that have edged their way in, against all the odds.

Celine of the always-gorgeous Have Cake, Will Travel blog sweetly called me out on my remiss blogging a few months back, and I have been revolving the thing in my mind off and on since then.  I do miss posting here.  And more than that, I especially miss reading the blogs I have enjoyed reading and being inspired by over the last 4 or 5 years.  So, I am going to try to rejoin blogland.  Bigmouth is dead, long live Bigmouth?  We'll see :)
