Hi :)!

Hello everyone!
My name is Andrea and I'm from a small village in the North of Spain (whose main industry probably is dairy). I've been a vegan for almost 2 years now, and I went through all the stages (pescetarian, vegetarian...) until I became fully vegan.
Growing up, I've always known I wouldn't be able to support, for example, cosmetics tested on animals, or wear anything like leather, etc which I thought was horrendous, but as almost everyone I grew up surrounded by this idea that eating animals and "products" derived from animals was "normal". I still struggle sometimes because most of my friends / family / extended family are non-vegan and think that I'm a weirdo, since it's just becoming a thing here (we barely had vegan restaurants before, and now there are three in town).
I'm so glad I found this forum so I can share / ask / read opinions and debate with other vegans and people interested on a plant-based diet / life.
Glad to meet you!
