Big HELLO from Austria!! A new vegan ~ food ~ lifestyle ~ travel ~ blogger here :)
Hi, everyone! My name is Karin and I just recently found out about this (somewhat) new and fast evolving platform here where everybody seems to be very welcoming & supportive. So I'm really excited about becoming part of this community :)
I live in the beautiful city of Vienna, Austria, and I’m interested in everything veganism & health related.
I’m a big foodie and just recently discovered my passion for cooking. I like to try out new things in the kitchen, but most of the time I enjoy very simple dishes. Just potatoes alone can make me very happy ^^
I’ve been fully vegan since January 2016, but vegetarian/mostly vegan for some time before that. The ethical aspect was the main reason for me to transition to a plant-based lifestyle, but lately I’ve been focussing more and more on the health benefits as well. I’m hoping to cure my thyroid and hormonal issues by following a whole foods plant-based diet. However, I still enjoy the occasional chocolate & fast food - it's just too darn delicious :D Veganism is about more than only food, though. I try to avoid animal products as best as I can and live a more sustainabe life in general.
Mental health issues have also been a big part of my life. I’ve been struggling with depression & anxiety for as long as I can remember. Only slowly am I finding my way towards a healthier state of mind and more balance in my life. I’m convinced that focussing on self-love, defining & setting priorities and not letting others define what matters most to you is the way to go.
I’m also a huge book nerd and love being surrounded by books. I just wish I had more time to read (something I need to make a priority again). There’s nothing like getting lost in a story or another world ~ ~ ~
I’m in love with traveling and seeing what the world has to offer, so whenever I get the chance I visit new (and old) places and explore new things – which hasn’t been a lot lately, but I’m hoping for more adventures in the future.
I can't wait to share the things I'm passionate about with you and connect with like-minded souls 🙂

Meditation helps with my anxiety. I specifically like transcendental meditation. I hope it can help with your anxiety. Much love Jay.
I've been having a hard time getting into it, but I'm not giving up, 'cause I've heard how beneficial it can be ... especially when battling mental health issues. Never heard of transcendental meditation, though. I'll definitely look into it! Thank you so much for recommending it :)

Hi @plantyjourney :) Welcome to the vegan community here! It's quite huge, supportive and inspiring as you'll soon find <3 There is a huge growing need and want for encouragement to a healthier way of life! I love connecting with other people who are trying to show that and make their own small changes in this world :) Happy to connect with you and hope you enjoy it here <3
Hi Cece and thank you so much for the warm welcome :) It's amazing to see so many vegans here - wasn't expecting the community to be so huge already. I'm really looking forward to being part of it and can't wait to connect with all these wonderful human beings here :D
Following you too and already love the content you're putting out there <3
You are most welcome! I got on here in June and I thought the vegan community was big THEN but NOW it's just exploded! I think someone put out a message to vegans everywhere to get on here :P I used to have my blog as primarily vegan inspiration but I was traveling for a couple of months and so, my mind is on that just for now. But I will be back with recipes and inspiration again very soon :P Hope to see some wonderful things from you!
Haha, yeah I guess the word got out :D
Oh, I love traveling - wish I could do so more often!! I'm always interested in seeing/reading about other people's travel experiences. The world is such a beautiful place and there's so much to discover - more than anyONE can do in a lifetime. But by sharing you let others be part of your experience, so please keep doing so ❤ :)
You are so right! I have been traveling and traveling and traveling, far more than anyone I know and it seems like I still haven't been anywhere :P This world is so vast and incredible! I'd love to be able to see it all but you're right, having others to see it for us and share certainly makes it a lot easier ;) <3
