It can be, depends where you are. Get the HappyCow app Kubby. There's a free and paid version but they are the same, just the free one has ads. I still want to write that going plant based guide too. It's on my list.
They use Maestro a lot but I think this is pretty much confined to Europe. I can't remember seeing Maestro cards in Australia. Cash is king. Most of the hotels etc. are fine with visa/mastercard it's mostly smaller places. That said, none of the supermarkets took visa which surprised me a lot.
Downloading happy cow app right now except they only have the one you pay for. there is another called vegan/vegetarian that is free and I'll be downloading.
What is maestro? Looking forward to your guide :-)
Maestro is like visa/mastercard/amex etc. But I think it's only in Europe.
Hmm, it's still showing up for free in android on my phone.
Unfortunately on my app it is saying it cost $3.99, there is one just below it that is free. So, I'm just going to download that one.
