Hi from Dublin, Ireland

[kittysoman2013]

Hellooo! Came here through Unnatural Vegan's youtube channel. I went vegan "overnight" (and by that I mean lots of thought over many months as well as cutting down on certain animal products) after attending Dublin VegFest and seeing James Aspey's speech and getting to meet him afterward. Needless to say, I am vegan for the animals (but that's implied in the label, right?) - for health and environmental reasons too of course, but those are just bonuses.

I wanted to join as I was inspired by Unnatural Vegan's youtube and really appreciate her grounded and level-headed approach, none of that hippy-dippy stuff, and so I wish to converse further with similar individuals! Not only because Dublin is rather small, and although the vegan movement is ever growing, I still don't know anyone personally other than my husband and a friend of mine who are vegan.

Anyway, long story short, I wish to engage in inspiring and encouraging dialogue with other vegans and learn as much as I can about the world of veganism.

Welcome Soman, and congratulations on going vegan.

Next week was supposed to be my first visit to Ireland (4 days in Cork and 4 days in Dublin) but that obviously won't happen.
