   Once you get there, get informed!

   If they haven't replied to your inquiries, ask the front desk about vegan options when you check-in. When you get to your room, check if there is a mini fridge to store food later.

   Hopefully, the conference centre will be located downtown or close to a grocery store or bio store. As soon you get 30 minutes to yourself, bolt to the store to stock up on the necessities: nuts, bread, spreads, muesli/oats, chocolate (of course), fruits and veggies.
   
   If your hotel room has a mini-fridge, this is a huge bonus. Otherwise, not a problem. Get mini boxes of non-dairy milk and get to feel like a 5 year old again!

  Here was one of my afternoon snacks, since the conference didn't fufill my protein needs. I made myself an open-faced rye bread sandwich with kalamata olive spread and mixed seeds.
  
  +++<u>Conference</u>+++
  
  If you're lucky the conference food will be tasty and will offer protein. In May 2016, I attended a conference in North Carolina and they always served a form of protein with vegetarian or vegan meals. Some of them we actually very tasty.
  
  Here are two of the meals I had at the conference in Germany:

  Since it was so close to Halloween and it was pumpkin season, they served this amazing pumpkin soup with pumpkin seeds! I had two servings. :)
  
  *Restaurants* -
  Many restaurants now offer vegan options, but don't necessarily advertise it. Take the inivitative to research vegan friendly places so you can suggest them when making plans with clients or colleagues. There is no doubt about it, they will appreaciate you organizing the dinner plans! If they've already made arrangement, just call the restaurant to confirm that they have vegan options.
  
  A great website to research restaurants is https://www.happycow.net/[happycow.net]. They don't usually list restaurants that have only one vegan option, so you might want to want to do a Google as well "vegan restaurants in [CITY NAME]".
  
  *Bar* -
  Did you know that some alchoholic beverages aren't vegan?! To be safe, look up your drink of choice on http://www.barnivore.com/[barnivore.com] - it's a great resource!
  
  *Questions* -
  This is a warning. You will get questions from non-vegans at the conference. Remember to stay calm and that you can always walk away from a conversation. If you want to be prepared you can look up a list of common questions on http://www.vegan.com/answers/[vegan.com]. 
  
  ===== Don't be hard on yourself
  
  Sometimes, you won't be able to confirm if a certain beverage or food is vegan and you do have to survive. Don't be so hard on yourself, especially when you're just starting your vegan journey. There is no judgement here :) Do your best! When all else fails, just remember that you will be home soon and you have all the amazing vegan food to look forward to! 
  
  Some of the food I look forward to:
