Gluten-Free Italy Travel Consultation
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…

During your 30 or 60 minute travel consultation, I will be available to answer all your questions about traveling safely as a celiac in Italy. This is a completely personalized experience…feel free to ask me anything and everything!
Why book with me?
1️⃣ I LIVE in Italy! I can give you super tailored advice from my years of first-hand experience. I know the Italian celiac scene like the back of my hand🇮🇹
2️⃣ I'm a native English speaker who speaks fluent Italian. There's no language barrier on our end and I can seamlessly communicate with restaurants on your behalf. Feeling unsure about cross-contact procedures? I'll send an email in Italian asking for you🤗
3️⃣ I have personal relationships with the chefs of many gluten-free restaurants around the country. I can get you reservations just by sending a text📲
4️⃣ My degree is in medical anthropology and I wrote my thesis about the impact of culture on the quality of life for celiacs. Not only have I been living with celiac disease for many years, but I've also studied the social aspect of our condition inside and out🤓
Here's how it works
1). Choose between a 30 minute or 60 minute consultation ☎️
⭐️30 minute consultations are good for general questions, a few restaurant recommendations, and my tips all celiacs should know before heading to Italy. This is the best option if you're taking a shorter trip to Italy and/or the bulk of your trip planning is done.
2). Purchase the service 💰
You will be prompted to purchase the service when you choose either a 30 or 60 minute consultation below. These sessions can be re-booked if you didn't get all your questions answered initially. You save 25$ by booking a full hour.
3). Book a time 🗓
Once you purchase the service I will be notified and will reach out to you via email within 48 hours with my availability. Then we can find a time that works for both of us and get to planning!
