We all know that trying to navigate dietary requirements in our native language, in our home country, comfortably and safely, can already be hugely difficult.
So how do people manage abroad?
I often print and laminate basic translation cards of key phrases e.g. “I’m allergic to X, Y and Z, what can I eat?/can I eat this?”
I also try to aim for self catering accommodation, and pack some super basic food (instant pasta (Bachelors!) and protein powder) for emergencies.
I’d love to travel more, and I always enjoy my holidays, but the idea can fill me with dread sometimes.
Do any of my fellow allergic folks have any great tips?
