☀️ Introduction

Summer is here, and so is vacation season! Whether you’re heading to sunny beaches, bustling cities, or family reunions, traveling with food allergies requires extra planning. The good news? With a little preparation, you can explore new places safely — and still enjoy delicious meals.

✈️ Plan Before You Pack

  • Research your destination’s restaurants. Look for places that list allergens clearly or are certified allergy-friendly.

  • Download allergy translation cards if you’re going abroad, so your allergies are understood in local languages.

  • Pack safe snacks for airports, road trips, or hikes where choices might be limited.

📞 Call Ahead & Communicate

  • When booking hotels or rentals, ask if kitchens are available or if staff are trained in food allergy safety.

  • Call restaurants in advance. A quick conversation will show whether they take allergies seriously.

📱 Use Apps & Tools

  • Apps like Find Me Gluten Free, AllergyEats, or even Yelp and Google reviews can help find allergy-friendly spots.

  • Save copies of your allergy action plan and emergency contacts in your phone.

💼 Always Carry Your Meds

  • Keep epinephrine auto-injectors, antihistamines, and inhalers on you at all times — even for short walks.

  • Pack a travel allergy kit: wipes, safe snacks, extra medications.

🌅 Enjoy the Adventure

Traveling with food allergies might seem daunting, but with smart planning and open communication, you can enjoy your summer adventures — safely and deliciously!
