Planning travel as a celiac is not easy. You have to dig through heaps of blog posts to find gluten-free restaurants in each city, figure out how to ask your questions in a different language, call and interrogate restaurants who probably don’t understand you, find accommodations near a grocery store…the list is never-ending. As a native English speaker who speaks fluent Italian and has all the local, insider secrets on traveling gluten-free in Italy, I want to help you plan a super fun and totally safe gluten-free Italian adventure! ❤️We may chat about things like… What are the best celiac-safe restaurants in Italy? 🍝 How do you tell if packaged foods are gluten-free or not? 🍕 How do you navigate the celiac scene without speaking Italian?? 🇮🇹 Got non-celiac-related questions? I'm happy to help with those too! I can walk you through train travel, how to exchange currencies, what scams to know and avoid on the streets...anything! This is a completely personalized experience…feel free to ask me anything and everything. I want you to feel as prepared as possible, you are really in the driver's seat of the consult! __________________ ❗️Package Details❗️ STANDARD • 30-minute consult call PREMIUM • 60-minute consult call • Email follow-up with notes from our consult • Up to 3 reservations made on your behalf LUXE • 60-minute consult call • Email follow-up with notes from our consult • 1 additional email exchange for any further questions • Up to 5 reservations made on your behalf • 20% discount on all pre-curated Italy travel guides
