Two decades ago, Eric Brent decided to do something to make the world more friendly for people like. He was an avid traveler vow a vegan. The inconvenience of not knowing what or where to eat on his travels was the beginning of what we many of us know as HappyCow. It was basically Eric scratching his own itch. Many of us know HappyCow, but not so many of us have heard of Eric. He has never been much of an attention seeker and was perfectly happy to be operating HappyCow behind the scenes. Though he noted, they also often jake after a year or so since doess requires more love, passion, and devotion than others are willing to commit to without getting paid. Indeed, that grassroots, community-centric approach just might be what makes HappyCow viable. You see, HappyCow is able to maintain listings all around the world because of the content HappyCow users voluntarily upload when they visit restaurants.
Does money make you happy?
It is such an honor to have Eric Brent, founder and director of HappyCow , on my blog today! Eric started HappyCow in as a public service to help travelers find healthy, delicious vegan food along their journey. More than simply a restaurant and health food store guide, HappyCow is an ever-evolving online hub that serves millions worldwide as a one-stop resource for everything veg. I have been told by many of my friends that the first thing they do when they touch down in a new city is turn on the HappyCow app on their smart phones, to locate the closest plant-based restaurant. I just had to have him on my blog! I started it back in I was traveling a lot, always looking for restaurants where I was traveling. After college, I traveled for 15 years straight, and I had a lot of trouble finding food. There was nothing like HappyCow online, so I decided to do it myself. My goal was to provide this service as a labor of love to offer this to everybody. I did it all by myself at first. It turned into more of a dynamic site after a year, and I had a friend help me.
Summary of main points
In the past five years or so, it has taken off a lot. I had never thought of it as a business, but over the last five years I had to find out how to make money so that I could pay everybody who was working on it. I finished college—I graduated in psychology. I traveled to Europe and Asia, and ran out of money there so I taught English. I supported myself teaching, and then I would do physical therapy in the US for 3 months a year to make money so I could travel the rest of the year. I traveled to more than 60 countries. I just took a trip last weekend. I tend to take a bunch of trips each year. For the most part, I am limiting the trips to 3 days — 2 weeks. I think with the way the world is getting more modern, things have changed.
This remains the source of some controversy, but we think the answer is that we care about both absolute and relative income. Continue: What makes for a fulfilling life. Tax delinquencies and the economic downturn. Cost to boost satisfaction by 0. How come life satisfaction seems to increase more steeply with income than day-to-day happiness? As regards travelling, it makes you tired rather than happy. As a result the personal costs of donating to charity are also likely small. The figures above are based on surveying a cross-section of people in a country. Interestingly, income did not correlate with pride, or learning interesting things. Newer studies with larger samples have generally found that lottery winners seem a little better off — at least after their family and friends stop asking them for money.

It shares information regarding vegan and vegetarian-friendly restaurant listings, bakeries, caterers, bed and breakfasts, and farmers markets.

Earlier, inhe had realized that information regarding vegan restaurants and food joints was hard to come by on the internet.
The online resources available at the time were hardly updated to reflect new vegan food joints. Since Eric was an avid traveler, he saw the need to create a one-stop source of information on all the vegan restaurants where people like him vegetarian and traveler who were visiting new cities and countries would find healthy vegan food.
