Vegan Nights and Northern Lights
In 2026, we’re setting out on our very first Getaway to Norway, and we can’t wait to explore this Arctic wonderland with you! And who better to host this once in a life time experience than vegan lifestyle expert Lauren Toyota from hot for food!
We’ll begin with three nights in Oslo, staying at the stylish and centrally located Att Kvadraturen. During our time in the capital, we’ll enjoy a guided city tour, a visit to a Norwegian animal sanctuary, engage in a cozy Scandi quiz night, and enjoy some of the best plant-based dining the city has to offer.
From there, we’ll fly north to Tromsø, where snow-covered landscapes and the magic of the Northern Lights await. Our home base will be the peaceful St. Elisabeth Hotel, nestled in this charming Arctic town.
Highlights of our four-night stay in Tromsø include a Northern Lights chasing experience, a bus trip with picturesque stops to the town of Sommarøy a walking tour of Tromsø and a special vegan cooking demonstration with Lauren designed to inspire and connect through food. We’ll also experience the magic of the arctic’s Polar Night, a time where the sun never fully rises over the horizon – a truly unique experience!
As always, everything is 100% plant-based and thoughtfully curated for comfort, culture, and community. Join us for this unforgettable Norwegian escape a journey filled with cozy nights, breathtaking lights, and like-minded company.
