The Entertainer Blogger Award

entertainerbloggeraward-copy

Thanks so much to Chrissy from Simply Chrissy for nominating me for this award, that’s so sweet. Please visit her blog, If you want to know more about natural health, wellness, recipes (vegan + vegetarian), eczema, care tips, fitness, life & good vibes ?

Why did you start blogging in the first place? 

When I’m travelling, one of my top 3 things to have in my small bag is a notebook and a pen, where I write literally everything. I also have several books and loose papers where I write my ‘winning’ recipes.

For one or the other, people were always asking me for those, and for a long time in the back of my head I had the idea of having all my vegan travel adventures and recipes organised in just one place where everyone could access ❤  so it made sense to start a blog, and I’m loving it.

What is your favourite book?

This is a tough one because I love to read. So I will say a few …

  • Essay on Blindness by José Saramago
  • Blood River: A Journey to Africa’s Broken Heart by Tim Butcher
  • One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez
  • The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
  • Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
  • The War of the End of the World  by Mario Vargas Llosa 
  • Chasing the Devil: The Search for Africa’s Fighting Spirit by Tim Butcher

What do you dislike the most?

I dislike negative, nosy, impolite and prejudiced people.

I hate to see food and resources going to waste.

What is your favourite food at the mall?

I don’t eat at the mall.. There aren’t many, if any good vegan option.

What is your favourite pastime?

I have so many..  blogging (the obvious one), reading, drawing, painting, cooking, snorkelling, trekking, yoga, watch films and series, sunsets at the beach… oh wait, I was supposed to choose only one pastime…. well … travel is what I like to do the most 🙂
