Vegan travel can feel incredibly rewarding, but it can also come with some unique challenges. From navigating unfamiliar food choices to finding cruelty-free self-care products, staying true to your lifestyle can require some extra work on the road. But with the right resources and hacks, your vegan travel journey can feel both seamless and inspiring.

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a long-term trip, these vegan travel tips can help you savor every moment while sticking to your values. We’ll cover everything from vegan-friendly meals to conscious toiletries, including our travel size toothpaste. So get ready for fresh, fun vegan travel adventures…..no matter where they take you.

pre-adventure prep with our travel size toothpaste

From packing to food planning, here are some of our favorite tips for pre-travel prep.

• download helpful apps: apps like HappyCow and Abillion can help you find vegan food options near you. We recommend downloading and using them before you head out to get used to them.
• get a lay of the local scene: you can use the apps and travel blogs to explore vegan restaurants, markets, and products near your destination.
• keep things light: we encourage you to pack versatile, adaptable, and easy-to-wash clothing to keep your luggage light, minimal, and earth-friendly.
• stock up on our travel size toothpaste: from cruelty-free lotions to our travel size toothpaste, stock up on your favorites because the cosmetics you encounter during your travels might not be vegan and/or cruelty-free.

You might be wondering what makes our vegan toothpaste different from the rest. For one, it’s vegan and cruelty-free, proudly sporting the Leaping Bunny Certification. This means our toothpastes have never been tested on animals. Our formulas are also EWG Verified, made with clean intentional ingredients, and sustainably packaged. We offer original and hydroxyapatite formulas, so you can pick the best vegan travel size toothpaste for your needs.

navigating your vegan travel food options

In addition to downloading apps, there are a few other things you can do to prepare your vegan food options while out-of-town. You might be able to prepare TSA-friendly snacks and road trip goodies, explore local markets surrounding your rental, learn key phrases in the local language to convey your dietary preferences, and brainstorm a few go-to buildable meals that you might find in your destination town/city. If possible (and your trip is long), it could be worth exploring vegan food delivery kits too!

Others might think it’s “high maintenance”, but these vegan travel tips can ease pressure and allow you to feel more present when you arrive at your destination.

staying fresh and energized along the way

To make sure you feel your best and stick to your values throughout your trip, here are some products and tips for putting together your vegan toiletry essentials.

• travel size toothpaste: our travel size toothpaste comes in peppermint hydroxyapatite, original peppermint, and charcoal peppermint to keep your mouth fresh, your enamel fortified, and your smile bright.
• bamboo toothbrush: our bamboo toothbrush has a 100% bamboo hand and soft, BPA-free bristles derived from castor oil. Many other bristles are derived from petroleum, making them harder on the environment.
• vegan floss: our dental floss is coated with vegan wax and cocoa butter for a smooth effective glide. The expanding thread design allows it to wipe away more bacteria and debris for a deep clean between your teeth. Not to mention, it comes in a refillable case, so you can cut down on plastic consumption.
• stainless steel tongue scraper: our sleek, one-handed tongue scraper is the perfect small tool to help you stay fresh throughout your travels. In just a few gentle swipes, it works to remove stubborn bacteria that love your tongue’s cushy surface.
• other vegan self-care items: stock up on vegan lotions, sunscreens, shampoo and conditioner bars, makeup, deodorant, and more, so you don’t have to rely on the (often) non-vegan options at hotels and rentals.

We hope these tips help you enjoy every adventure with ease and peace of mind!

habits for a healthy mouth, healthy planet, and healthy you

Here are a few more sustainable tips to help you go the extra mile for the planet during your vegan travel adventures.

• minimize waste: in some destinations, tourists can leave behind up to twice as much waste as locals. One of the easiest ways to reduce travel waste is to bring your own self-care products (which we covered), reusable water bottles, shopping bags, and utensils with you on your trips. It’s so important to monitor and minimize plastic consumption while traveling, especially to coastal environments. You can rest assured that our products are packaged using sustainable materials, and you can even opt to purchase our toothpaste without the plastic cap.
• support small, local, and sustainable businesses: it can be hard to find sustainable small businesses in a new place, but that’s where pre-travel prep comes in handy! By supporting small local businesses, you gain a deeper understanding of the local culture, contribute to the local economy, and avoid the environmental harms of large-scale production.
