About Me

What is there to say about me? Well, for starters, I’m vegan. I became a vegetarian when I was 8 years old, and turned to a plant-based diet two years ago without looking back. 

Today I’m 22, living in downtown Montreal, and pursuing a double-major in English Literature and Environmental Sciences at McGill. I teach school children part-time, giving workshops on food and environment-related issues. I’m a poet and a songwriter, and – like most compassionate artist-types – I’m flat broke. This blog is my experience of veganism on a dime, and a catalogue of my search for a lifestyle that’s healthy, compassionate, and affordable.  

If you have any questions about anything you see on my blog, feel free to e-mail me at kirya.marchand@mail.mcgill.ca.

Happy eating!
