Dear Foodies, I must apologize to you. I feel absolutely terrible that I haven’t updated wtfveganfood.com, in a few months now, with any new posts – about the many restaurants I’ve visited. This is why:
- In November took a mini “break” from the road because my body was completely exhausted and I felt overwhelmed by California’s total 134 vegan restaurants that I was about to tackle. During that break the website crashed and I spent the entire month working with Green Vegan Media to get a new and improved version up. My intention during that month was to write my tooshie off, but with the website down, it wasn’t possible.
- Once I got back on the road, it took me a few weeks to get back into the swing of things and then California defeated me with it’s luscious vegan landscape. I mean that in a good way, of course. 🙂 It ended up taking me six weeks to get through the state of CA. And yes, I do miss it already!
- As I continued on I had some friends and family join me for short periods of time, here and there. When I have company on the road I’m less likely to sit in front of my computer for hours between every meal (which is what I usually do). Add in the occasional overwhelm of all I have to finish writing for the blog, the driving, and the eating, and the planning, meeting up with wonderful you’s for meals, and planning upcoming projects, events, and the like.
- So now, here I am halfway back across the country. This drive is much different than the one I made out, mostly in that it’s a straight shot back – no restaurant-specific stops, just overnights and a few intended locations to visit friends along the way. Also, I’m driving anywhere from 5-10 hours a day and taking one-day breaks between, sometimes. So that means even less time spent on getting even a single blog post done (which can take me between 4-6 hours to write).
Rest assured, the promise I made to the restaurants I visit, to you my incredible cheerleaders, and to myself, I will endeavor to write about every single restaurant (unless otherwise stated on the site). I give you my word. No matter how long it takes, I’ll write my fingers off. 🙂
Anywho, I just wanted to give y’all a little update. I still can’t believe that the trip itself is nearly over. Buuuuut stay tuned because there is actually a lot more coming up in the next year, for Will Travel For Vegan Food. I’ll be posting updates right here on Facebook, so you won’t miss a thing.
I just want you to know that I appreciate you all so much. Thank you for your love and support, and always remember to eat well and travel often. ♥
