Hi! I’m Sarah, and I recently traveled through Italy with my family, visiting Milan, Venice, and Rome. We manage celiac disease along with tree nut and egg allergies, and Italy did not disappoint! We found so many amazing places to eat and had some truly memorable meals along the way. Our favorite was Las Soffitta Renovatio, just a short walk from the Vatican. Their focaccia was so good we kept ordering more. The service was outstanding, and they were fantastic at accommodating us. Our Equal Eats cards were incredibly helpful and made it so much easier to clearly communicate our allergies in Italian. Between the pasta, pizza, gelato, and incredible sightseeing, Italy was such an amazing family trip—and eating well was definitely a highlight!

Hi! I’m Lucy and I have been working abroad in Germany! I have been able to find many safe spots to safely eat at while managing tree nut and egg allergies. One of my favorite places to eat was Freiburger Kebap where I have safely enjoyed a falafel döner at least once a week! If you visit, you must have a sunset picnic/swim in Seepark (in Freiburg) or go for a hike in the Black Forest. The views are stunning.

Hi! I’m Emme, and I recently studied abroad in Bergen, Norway, with trips up to Tromsø, Lofoten, Svolvær, and Flåm along the way. Even with peanut, tree nut, dairy, egg, sesame, and pumpkin allergies, I found the most delicious meals and went on life-changing excursions. My favorite restaurant was Nyt in Tromsø, where I had a reindeer burger; it sounds crazy, but it was actually really good! If you visit, don’t miss No Problem Sportfishing out of Svolvær; I saw orcas, traveled across the fjords, watched the midnight sun stay up until 2 am, and caught massive coalfish and cod. In Bergen, you have to hike the Seven Mountains; it’s a rite of passage. Also take the tram up Mount Fløyen to meet the very friendly goats!

Hi! I’m Lauren and I recently studied abroad in Paris, France! I was able to find many safe spots to safely eat at while managing peanut, tree nut, vegetable, and fruit allergies. One of my favorite places to eat was Marcello, located at the base of Montmartre, where I safely had a delicious Margherita pizza before enjoying the beautiful view! I also visited Patate for French fries, which I sat down and ate along the Seine! If you visit, a must-do activity is visiting the Palace of Versailles to spend time wandering the gardens and biking around!

Hi! I’m Sadie, and I recently studied abroad in Sydney, Australia! I was able to find many safe spots to safely eat at while managing peanut, tree nut, and egg allergies. One of my favorite places to eat was Raw Bar, where I safely had pork gyoza and a salmon avocado roll! If you visit, a must-do activity is the Bondi to Coogee cliff walk. Start in Coogee with a coffee or bagels from Lox in a Box and then walk to Bondi to make it for lunch at Common Supply (the Erewhon dupe of Sydney).

Hi! I’m Presleigh and I recently studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain! I was able to find many safe spots to eat while managing celiac. One of my favorite places to eat was Jansana Gluten Free, where I safely had some of their delicious homemade pastries and bread!
