Check out our guest blog today on Vegan Backpacker called “Food, Culture & The Challenge of Eating Vegan in South Africa.” We are avid readers of the site run by Jill and John, two vegans from Canada who are eating their way around the world in 2010. Their backpacking adventure is taking them through South America, Europe, China, Thailand, India and Africa. Along the way, report back with lots of tips and pictures to help other vegan explorers.
