Hi, everyone! My name is Karin and I just recently found out about this (somewhat) new and fast evolving platform here where everybody seems to be very welcoming & supportive. So I'm really excited about becoming part of this community :)
I live in the beautiful city of Vienna, Austria, and I’m interested in everything veganism & health related.
I’m a big foodie and just recently discovered my passion for cooking. I like to try out new things in the kitchen, but most of the time I enjoy very simple dishes. Just potatoes alone can make me very happy ^^
I’ve been fully vegan since January 2016, but vegetarian/mostly vegan for some time before that. The ethical aspect was the main reason for me to transition to a plant-based lifestyle, but lately I’ve been focussing more and more on the health benefits as well. I’m hoping to cure my thyroid and hormonal issues by following a whole foods plant-based diet. However, I still enjoy the occasional chocolate & fast food - it's just too darn delicious :D Veganism is about more than only food, though. I try to avoid animal products as best as I can and live a more sustainabe life in general.
Mental health issues have also been a big part of my life. I’ve been struggling with depression & anxiety for as long as I can remember. Only slowly am I finding my way towards a healthier state of mind and more balance in my life. I’m convinced that focussing on self-love, defining & setting priorities and not letting others define what matters most to you is the way to go.
I’m also a huge book nerd and love being surrounded by books. I just wish I had more time to read (something I need to make a priority again). There’s nothing like getting lost in a story or another world ~ ~ ~
I’m in love with traveling and seeing what the world has to offer, so whenever I get the chance I visit new (and old) places and explore new things – which hasn’t been a lot lately, but I’m hoping for more adventures in the future.
I can't wait to share the things I'm passionate about with you and connect with like-minded souls 🙂
You can also find me on Instagram -> https://www.instagram.com/plantyjourney ^^

Meditation helps with my anxiety. I specifically like transcendental meditation. I hope it can help with your anxiety. Much love Jay.

I've been having a hard time getting into it, but I'm not giving up, 'cause I've heard how beneficial it can be ... especially when battling mental health issues. Never heard of transcendental meditation, though. I'll definitely look into it! Thank you so much for recommending it :)

You are most welcome! I got on here in June and I thought the vegan community was big THEN but NOW it's just exploded! I think someone put out a message to vegans everywhere to get on here :P I used to have my blog as primarily vegan inspiration but I was traveling for a couple of months and so, my mind is on that just for now. But I will be back with recipes and inspiration again very soon :P Hope to see some wonderful things from you!

You are so right! I have been traveling and traveling and traveling, far more than anyone I know and it seems like I still haven't been anywhere :P This world is so vast and incredible! I'd love to be able to see it all but you're right, having others to see it for us and share certainly makes it a lot easier ;) <3

Welcome on Steemit, Karin! You will definitely find some great inspiration for vegan food on this platform, since you are exploring your passion for cooking these days ;)
Since turning vegan and more so since my raw food journey, I've experienced a great shift to a happier mindset. I'm convinced that healthier foods have an impact on our mood and it would be exciting to hear your experiences, following this healthier lifestyle further on.
Vienna is quite a hub for vegan food, isn't it? Currently living in Germany, I always wanted to travel there for all the great plant-based restaurants, but somehow never made some time for it. Well, Vienna is hopefully getting more amazing with age :D

Hi, Anais - and thank you so much :) I'm looking forward to finding even more inspiration on this platform as well as contributing to it myself.
I did actually experience improvements in the beginning - I'm sure, because I was eating better & healthier - but then my eating habits changed for the worse and so did my mental state. This is why I'm hoping to - with proper nutrition & care - change things around again as I am a firm believer in "you are what you eat".
Oh, it sure is! Being vegan in Vienna couldn't be easier - you should definitely come visit :) But Germany's quite similar, isn't it? Especially Berlin is supposed to be amazing - kinda the "vegan central" of Europe ^^ Hope I'll make it there someday!!
Vielen Dank für deinen lieben Kommentar und alles Gute auf deinen Reisen!! Bin schon gespannt auf deine weiteren Posts 😊

You are what you eat - I can definitely sign that! We all have our ups and down especially in our eating habits and it is never to late to change for the better. I am sure with even with a light transition you can do so much good for your body ;)
Well, if I lived in Berlin, I would think the same way about vegan restaurants in Germany :D Unfortunately my town is a bit smaller and therefore not quite there yet, but you see the movement growing everywhere!
In a few weeks I am fleeing into to sun and will spend the next months in South East Asia, but Vienna stays on my list for sure.
Thank you so much, I just now realize that you of course speak German - dein Instagram Account ist absolut wunderschön, ich freue mich schon darauf, auf Steemit ähnliche Posts von dir zu sehen :)

Haha, ja hab mir das mit dem Deutsch dann auch gegen Ende gedacht ^^
Ist halt ein bisschen ungewohnt, wenn sonst fast alle Englisch schreiben, gel?
Asien wird sicher genial!! Und dort wird es bestimmt keine Probleme geben pflanzliche Leckereien zu finden, yum! Wünsch dir jetzt schon mal ne ganz tolle Zeit und bin gespannt auf all die Einträge von dir :)
Vielen lieben Dank <3 Werd dir auch gleich mal auf Insta folgen, damit ich nirgends was verpass :)
