Episode Description

What is it like to travel with severe food allergies? Erin and Kattie chat with food allergy consultant Allie Bahn about what it takes to travel confidently with severe allergies.

We discuss how allergic travelers experience travel slightly differently, the misconceptions that still exist about food allergies, and how the tourism industry can make small changes that make travel more inclusive for allergic people.

Allie Bahn is a travel writer, educator, and consultant who empowers people with severe food allergies to explore the world safely. Learn more about her and her work, here: https://missallergicreactor.com/
