I found myself in a bit of an ethical and emotional pickle whilst formulating this blog post and my latest video.

You see, as a vegan, I feel very aware that I may be judged negatively for the experience I’m about to share with you.

But I’ve just got to square my shoulders and bear that, if it does come to that.

See, in January, when my British boyfriend visited me here in Australia, we took a trip an hour and a half up the highway to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, so I could introduce him to some of Australia’s most famous native animals.

My Vegan Journey / Why I Turned Vegan

I started transitioning to a vegan diet and lifestyle around August-September last year.

I originally first flirted with the idea of veganism when I was 16, and I knew a few people who had made the switch, for various reasons. I started to go through periods where I would be vegetarian for a while, the longest I think was like 10 months, but I always ended up giving into cravings.  Continue reading “My Vegan Journey / Why I Turned Vegan”
