Hi, I'm Courtney. I am so happy you are here! Before we dive into all things travel, I'd like to quickly introduce myself and share a bit about my story. Almost 10 years ago, after the birth of my first child, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. After the diagnosis, traveling became significantly more challenging. We always had to stay in hotels with a kitchenette, and I had to pack a cooler full of food for every trip. I spent hours researching safe places to eat, which left me feeling anxious, often resulting in making all my meals. It was incredibly exhausting. But I persevered despite the tremendous effort required for each trip. I've learned to embrace my dietary restrictions and have picked up numerous tricks along the way. I've discovered that there are now many more options available for our gluten-free community. The key to safely dining out, I've found, is a combination of PREPARATION and ADVOCATING for my needs. It took me some time to reach this point, but once I made it a priority, I felt that traveling with my family and finding places to eat out became not only possible but enjoyable. Currently, we are on an epic adventure with our kids around the world, and it has been life-changing. Has it been challenging? Yes. Am I worried about finding safe places to eat in some countries? In some countries, yes. However, it is possible, and I refuse to let unforgettable opportunities slip away because of fear. I want to share with you all the tips and tricks I've learned along the way.
