Vagabonding vegetarians beware: maintaining your veg-centric lifestyle while Studying Abroad will be a challenge. \u00a0But not to fear, you got this. \u00a0No one ever said using your diet to save the planet was easy! \u00a0To help you stay on course, we’ve compiled a list of study abroad destinations that we think are very vegetarian friendly.<\/p>\n

India<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Untitled<\/p>\n

With the world’s largest vegetarian population, this South Asian nation is a no brainer for students looking to chomp on veggies and paneer all semester. \u00a0In fact, we’d go so far as to say that if you enjoy meat, India might not be the destination for you. \u00a0 I mean c’mon, their cows are holy!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Denmark<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Nyhaven<\/p>\n

Danes are known for their progressive thinking, so it’s no surprise that vegetarian options abound in this place that once held the title for “Happiest Country in World.” \u00a0We even hear their vegetable stands run on the honor system! \u00a0So don’t worry, be “Hygge,” and refer to this excellent resource from DIS on Danish vegetarian vocab.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Israel<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Falafel<\/p>\n

In keeping Kosher, it seems Israel would be a solid choice for students with diverse dietary needs. \u00a0You don’t have to worry about pork or shellfish, and many establishments won’t combine milk and meat. \u00a0Besides that, hummus and cucumbers are served with virtually every meal, and Falafels grow on trees. \u00a0Now that’s Israeli<\/em> nice!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Taiwan<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Spirited<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you know what to look for, this subtropical land can be a Taiwan-derful<\/em> place for vegetarians. \u00a0The majority of the country is\u00a0Taoist or Buddhist, which means meat-free meals are understood and available. \u00a0Visit restaurants with the red and yellow\u00a0Chinese characters \u7d20\u98df (s\u00f9sh\u00ed<\/em>) which means vegetarian, and eat your herbivore heart out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The United Kingdom<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Tate<\/p>\n

Hold the Bangers & Mash and bring on the Bhindi Masala! \u00a0Perhaps not appreciated for it’s native food, the UK has some excellent ethnic entrees for vegetarians. \u00a0What’s more, the food labels are in English and the pubs serve veggie burgers! \u00a0What more can a tree-hugging globe trotter ask for?!<\/p>\n

The act of studying abroad and being a vegetarian can sometimes feel like they are competing opposites- to be a great study abroad student takes flexibility and adaptability. \u00a0To be a great vegetarian takes determination and diligence. \u00a0But the two can coexist, you can still be respectful towards your host country’s culture, while also staying true to your own veggie values system. \u00a0To make your life easier, consider studying in one of the above countries and check out Happy Cow<\/a> for an online directory of vegetarian restaurants around the world. \u00a0The International Vegetarian Union<\/a>\u00a0is another great resource that all traveling vegetarians can utilize.<\/p>\n

Bon voyage veg-heads!<\/p>\n
