[Guest guest]

Hi,

My name is Camille (veganispretty).

I am 23 years old and I am French, so I may not understand everything

but I would like to improve.

I don't know any vegan in real life but I went to several

demonstrations (vegetarians and vegans against Xmas cruelty, veggie

pride).

I have been a vegan for 5 months and a vegetarian for 1 year and a

half before that.

I became vegetarian during holidays at my boyfriend's mum's, when she

organized a " sheep party " where a poor animal (named Rocky) has been

killed and bled to be eaten by the guests after having lived in the

garden... After that, I could no longer just look at a piece of meat

for several months, and I haven't eat any animal since this day.

Later, I realized that eggs and milk were also responsible for animal

suffering and death but I didn't know how to stop eating dary

products so I began to ban eggs but I still ate dary products untill

last february. I don't wear neither leather, wool nor eat honey, and

I try to use less medecines as I can (I am almost never sick).

 

I live near Bordeaux, in the south of France, but I may soon move to

Paris for my studies (DESS/Master in translation or in multilingual

writing on computer).

I think a place is good for vegans when it proposes animalfree

products and when it ALSO respects animals as living beings. I am not

vegan for health but for animals (even if being dietary vegan is

healthier....).

 

My favourite type of bean is difficult to explain because I don't

know a lot about food in English, but I like " houmous " , and the

little green beans that exist also in red/orange...

I have never been to the UK so I can jusqt talk about France: my

father lives in Aix en provence and it is really a beautifull region

to visit because there is nature, but also museums, castles...

I love fantastic and thrilling films. I have enjoyed Lars Von

Trier's " Breaking the Waves " and " Dancer in the Dark " and I also like

British sense of humor.

I ate an apple, chicory with nut oil, curry rice and a chocolate soya

yoghurt.

I more a morning person because I like to see the sun rise but I also

stay awake by night when I work or when I go out to see friends...

 

I found out about this list on vegan village website.

 

I have never been to the UK and I would like so I will enjoy any

suggestion... (aupair...).
