Stressing at work? Relationship problems? We all need a little getaway from the hustle of our daily lives at one point or another. From beautiful Caribbean beaches, to exciting new cities, the amount of travel destinations to choose from are truly endless. Alongside Insta-worthy scenery, finding delicious noms is at the top of most of our vacation desires. Yet, continuing to follow a cruelty-free lifestyle when vacationing can seem to be a bit difficult. 


Luckily, with the rapid growth of veganism, many cities have followed suit and have contributed to some of the most amazing vegan-friendly destinations and attractions.We’ve made it easy for you. Here’s five of our favorite plant-based destinations!


1. Spend a Weekend at The Dreamcatcher

- San Juan, Puerto Rico



Known famously as the only vegetarian hotel in San Juan, the island’s capital, The Dreamcatcher is truly heaven as we know it. This bohemian style hotel offers exquisite vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free breakfasts, three course brunches, and specialty dinners by local chefs, in which they source all of their ingredients locally and organically. This practice not only helps support Puerto Rico’s farming, but also helps to lessen the island’s carbon footprint. 


Alongside the amazing culinary options, The Dreamcatcher offers yoga and meditation classes daily, bikes for rent to cruise around the city, paddle boarding, and so much more. Their nine rooms and three suites are curated with a unique vibe and personality. Our founder Ewelina, stayed at The Dreamcatcher for her bridal party, and she absolutely adored her stay!

All animal sanctuaries are pretty amazing - yet, we have a personal fave. The Catskill Animal Sanctuary in Saugerties, NY is a 148 acre farm that “...rescues farmed animals, ignites social change to end their exploitation, and champions vegan living,” as said in their mission statement. At the sanctuary, you can visit eleven different species of farmed animals that were rescued from neglect, abusive environments, and cruelty. 


You can go for a day tour or even stay overnight at the Homestead residence, which includes a seasonal vegan breakfast!
