My mum’s gift package from the UK which includes many gut health-friendly remnants of colonialism lol We’ve just published a post on on our sister site detailing some of our bowel and stomach-related hardships in SE Asia: food poisoning, vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea and so on. In that post, we provided a general overview (or rather: the layperson’s ideas and advice based on personal experiences) about what to do in case you’ve got the shits, mate. Here on veganvstravel we’d like to dive into the details of maintaining a healthy gut (shits or not, either way) and soothing an upset stomach on a plant-based diet whilst travelling the world. 1.

One of the reasons running a channel is hard is the editing. Which is where this post comes in: How To Make Vegan Travel Videos For YouTube Videos have now become much more th...

He, however, says most of the issues facing the country at present are the result of many years of corruption, mismanagement, nepotism, and ignorance. Inquiry into  PNG’s National Election will be Independent : Bird  And he urged citizens to at least trust a few leaders who put their hands up now to help in fixing some of the issues and election flaws are one of them.  Bird said these when NBC News questioned the independence of the inquiry as the committee is made up of politicians. “There are  many things in this country have gone wrong, and people have lost trust and confidence in leaders, he told NBC News.  But he adds, there are few leaders who stood out amongst the ...
