The Start of An Adventure

I adore traveling. Every so often I get this itch that can only be scratched with the excitement of a new place, with the impermanence of a hotel room. I also love the spontaneity of hopping in the car and going somewhere new, of buying a train ticket to a new destination and having no idea what you will find there, what you will do, or who you will meet.

But that's hard to do when you're gluten free and have a tendency to get hangry… As my adoring husband has been first hand witness of ;)

No one ever thinks about food like a person who can't eat most foods. Let me tell you, I PLAN my food out. I always am carrying snacks (which I have a hard time sharing with others) and am a pro at spotting restaurants that might carry something gluten free. Those uppity hippy places? Lets look at the menu! They only have organic things? Lets look at the menu! And then you spot those magic words… gluten free options available… and your heart soars. Finally somewhere to eat!

Over the course of this blog I hope to help share with everyone, from beginners all the way to old pros, some tricks about traveling gluten free. For me travel can be as simple as a day trip an hour away or as complex as spending fourth months living abroad in Italy.

I hope you'll join me on this adventure and then go out and have your own adventure with some great tips to help you along!
