Hello and thank you for visiting my site! Welcome to TrailMixMel, I am... Trail Mix Mel! I'm born and raised on the BC coast, lived in several provinces across Canada and currently reside in Alberta.  

I've been vegan for almost 20 years and let me tell you, it is so much easier now to live cruelty-free than it was when I was a teen... I love that mainstream brands are now cruelty-free, that chain restaurants offer vegan / plant-based options and that major celebrities are promoting vegan ways of living.​

Living near the Rockies, and not far from the Canadian badlands, my partner and I are always out hiking, foraging or exploring abandoned homesteads. When we travel, we always incorporate backcountry hikes. As a vegan, I like to keep life simple but stay healthy, and that includes eating well in the backcountry and in foreign places.

​I hope that anyone can find something interesting on my site, so that I can share simple and easy ways to eat vegan on trail, on the road and at home! ​If you have any questions or comments, please email me below, I'm always happy to hear from you!​
