Eat vegan at easter yes we can!

Eat vegan at easter yes we can!

Some of the places I have been to eat vegan anywhere you are in Italy are in the article.

My Vademecum is:

- google before and use the vegan link popularity

- make call the day before and in the meantime you reserve speak about your vegan diet

- when you enter the restaurant say that you red the good reviews about vegan plates and you are happy to be here

- when you sit and speak with the waiter tell himm you are vegan for a week because your doctor said so

- dont ask for grilled veggies (they could be done on the same grill than the meat) and no fresh pasta as it contains eggs (in most of the cases)

- choose a kind of gastronomy vegan friendly like Grande cuisine, world cooking (kosher), or Vegan/vegetarian only

- when you pay stand up and tell the owner you are happy or not before to settle the bill

- write on review website before to go home

(Italiano)

Premessa quando viaggio faccio una grande fatica per prenotare e mangiare come voglio, ecco il mio vademecum personale:

- fate ricerca su territorio chiedendo si alla direzione del vostro hotel, ma sopratutto cercando sui web forum e le recensioni online.

- telefonate per fare la prenotazione chiedendo della cucina o della direzione. Di solito si trovano a fine turno di servizio precedente verso le 15 oppure verso le 23.

- entrando al ristorante citate le vostre fonte "abbiamo letto tutte le recensioni su di voi e per questo abbiamo pensato che ci trattererete bene."

- una volta seduti parlate al cameriere di "intoleranza" e non di scelta vegetariana o vegana se siete in un posto qualunque.

- scegliete altre cucine che sapete essere in linea con la gastronomia e la dieta vegetariana/vegan (VG/VGA) come alta Gastronomia (AG), e la world cooking come Kosher, Ayurveda (WCO). Siate curiosi.

- non chiedete mai vedure alla grillia, le grille rovente sono le stesse dove si cuocce  la carne. Preferite tutte le altre cotture. 

- non prendere pasta fresca che spesso contiene uove.

- al momento del conto fatte presente che anche se sembra che avete mangiato solo contorni siete contenti. Ve la spiego dopo.

- fatte anche voi una recensione veritiera per lasciare alle persone che verrano dopo di voi un resoconto, i nomi delle persone incontrate.

Summer 2014 board on my Yoga Van from Rome to Venice to Milan

Guidelines to my next project:

 yoga and crowdfunding

Why yoga why a van?
Yoga Van is a project to help people around Italy and Mediterranean to learn yoga tecniques and meditation, mindfulness.
The project has been created by Benedetta Spada after her book tour experience to present her last book “yoga in viaggio” (travel detox book). The book is an opportunity to help people to learn yoga and meditation out of mat and yoga shala. Everybody can practice everywhere in every moment during life journey. Benedetta expanded the meaning of “yoga in viaggio”, not only a book but a lifestyle to be happy, to have good relations, to approach calm and wellness in every moment of our life. anyway Benedetta started to share the meaning of yoga in viaggio so this book became a blog, a fb page a broadcast Radio, and travel detox workshop with Benedetta on the road.

Why yoga in viaggio is different from other yoga progect?
Because yoga in viaggio wants to share yoga & meditation for modern people a society with low cost and with “happenings”. Benedetta is an antiguru and a modern teacher with a editorialist experience, is a speaker who works in front up to 500 people with natural style and simple approach, she collaborates with Radio Montecarlo from 2007 and she is the first yoga teacher to teach yoga and mindfulness in Radio. Her approach is an unconventional yoga opportunity to put in contact every human with wellness and meditation respecting modern way of life, if you want to be happy and try a new wellness this not means that you have to go to India… but you can now change your life every day where you live, work and travel.
Our project has his own social media&press office.
This is a new opportunity to spread a modern yoga life style. Everybody can practice this simple tecniques but it is important to share. Yoga in viaggio is how you eat, you work, you love, you cook and yes how you practice…

Why me ?
We need only a few partners giving euros (private financing project) which give them the opportunity to help european people to learn more about yoga in viaggio. They support our project, we spread yoga spirit around our world. I like to spend money with purprose.
Creative and makers show cases every week released on a Youtube channel video in italian with english subtitles to follow the tour.

Where and when?
italy/france/spain
From July to September 2014

Offering free or donnation yoga classes, workshop and conference…

So far, this project has been self-funded out of yoga-consciousness need further funding to cover start-up fuel costs, administrative & marketing costs to get the word out, and to purchase more yoga mats.

Min. Budget to start euro. 5,000 (including the yoga happy van to pay)

Thanks for getting the wheels rolling!

“May my life contribute to all beings living healthy, happy and free.”
