Hello Wonderful People! I’m off to South America tomorrow! As I'm horrendously disorganised, I still haven't packed and I'm due to get a train to London in 5 hours. Whoops. I'm currently sat here in my pjs, thinking about maybe packing, but I just don't want to get out of bed. Packing issues aside, I'm stupidly excited to be heading to Brazil in the morning! I've not got a clue what to expect and I just can't wait to actually be there (damn you 14 hour flight).

There are some countries that are really good for veggies and there are others that look at you with disgust when you ask if there’s a veggie option. You’d be surprised at the amount of people who have no idea what the word vegetarian means and who offer you chicken as an alternative. The last time I checked, chicken was definitely meat.
