Read MoreMeet Paul and Dario who have created Give Kitchen through which they feed their customers and the homeless too!
I want to tell you about Paul Hampson and Dario Curcillo. At a time when many people struggle to find the time to think about, let alone cook, balanced and nutritious meals, they created GIVE Kitchen to deliver fresh, delicious and healthy food to their customers. Their wisdom doesn't stop there! The rise in poverty and homelessness is something that they couldn't ignore, so for every meal purchased, they 'give' a meal to the homeless. Isn't that amazing?

Read MoreMeet Andy Tabar, the man behind Compassion Co
I'd love for you to meet Andy Tabar. He went from omnivore to vegan within eight months, and then kind of fell into creating his own business. With his 'do it yourself' attitude, and resourceful nature, he started making his own t-shirts because he wanted them to have a certain feel, expressing messages about veganism and made in a way which was as kind and ethical as possible. This led to him creating Compassionate Co through which he design t-shirts to fit all sorts of people whether they be feisty or not!

Read MoreA vegan ski trip with delicious food? Yes!
Staying in a chalet outside of England
I've stayed in a few places that can sleep over 20 people before, but they were self catering and in the UK.
This trip involved staying in a Chalet in France and it included breakfast and dinner. Had the skiing trip not been organised by a friend of mine who's vegan, assertive, efficient and extremely considerate, I think I might have have been a bit skeptical and tense about what we'd be fed. However, this wasn't the case, so I trusted that all would be well and went away without taking any vegan food with me. I say that, because some members of our group did bring food with them.

Read MoreForget all the negativity you've heard or experienced; eating vegan in Paris is great!
My previous trip to Paris was awful
The last time I went to Paris was a number of years ago, and although it probably was beautiful, friendly and romantic; I didn't recall it that way at all! All I remembered was that, the waiters/chefs didn't know what vegetarian meant, or they didn't want to cater for us, and they didn't seem to care about amending dishes on the menu or creating something to enable us to enjoy a nice meal.
Suraj arranged a surprise trip to Paris

Afternoon tea in a small local cafe
I've had afternoon tea at La Suite before and I've seen it advertised elsewhere in the city, but I was so excited to find out that a cafe, not too far from us, was offering a deal for the same!
It was a done deal! My hubby, my brother-in-law, my sister-in-law and myself made a date to indulge and I'm so glad we did!
