Carnage: Swallowing the Past is possibly my favorite vegan film of all time. It's certainly the most enjoying to watch. In this mockumentary set in the year 2067, comedian Simon Amstell shows us a future where the world is vegan and how we got there.

The Essential Vegan Travel Guide by Caitlin Galer-Unti is a useful book that shows you how to research and locate vegan-friendly (or vegetarian, raw, or gluten-free) fare in any city. Beyond the food, the book offers hints for connecting with local vegans, choosing a place to stay, packing, and traveling (and keeping the peace) with non-vegan companions.

AirBnB is a community marketplace where people can list, discover and book unique accommodations around the world. There are many benefits to staying in an apartment or other local accommodation rather than a hotel when traveling. One is that you’ll have access to a kitchen, so if you’re tired of eating out at every meal, or just want to save money, you can cook for yourself. If you create an account with this link you will get a $40 credit towards your first stay.

VegVisits is basically a veggie version of AirBnB. The database is much smaller, but the advantage is that you can book accommodation with a vegetarian or vegan host who can offer local insight into the vegan scene, or even just rent out their kitchen for a few hours if you want to prepare your own food. And if you just can’t get going in the morning without a green smoothie, you can even narrow your search according to the kitchen appliances available and search for a place with a blender!

Diet Menus. This site is pretty handy if you're traveling in the US. It shows at a glance all the different vegan options available at hundreds of popular restaurant chains. And if the menu item is not vegan by default, the site tells you how to order it vegan (no chicken, no cheese, etc.).
