A bit about myself and why I became vegan

Hi my name is Symone! I am Westerner with Polish, Portuguese and Italian heritage but was born and raised in Hong Kong. I enjoy dancing, traveling the world and adore animals. My more recent journey towards veganism has been exciting and very educational to say the least. I’d be happy to be your guide and take you to places in Hong Kong to share with you my vegan HK.

I became a vegan in Aug 2018 really because it was my last option a as means of clearing my acne prone skin. I had tried everything else and although I had heard about going vegan and how it had worked for others, I found it difficult to give up some of my favorite foods. One night my husband and I were watching the documentary “What The Health” (while eating a meat based dinner) and when we finished watching it he turned to me and said that was it and he wouldn’t be able to eat meat again. I was honestly very surprise by his answer but of course wanted to support his decision so I said I would do it with him and we have never turned back. I really have to thank him for giving me the push I needed as I know it would have been impossible to live in a house where only one of us was vegan. On a side note, my skin is so much better and my only regret is not turning vegan much earlier in my life.
