My name is Courtney. I’m originally from Kentucky but now live in Madison, Wisconsin with my husband, our dog, and two cats.

I made the decision to transition to becoming vegan during my senior year of college. Later that year, I was diagnosed with celiac disease.

I was inspired to make this blog after traveling to Europe with my husband. I did some research before we left, and thought it would be relatively easy to look up restaurants as needed.

While we were traveling, I was pretty stressed about where I could eat safely. Some restaurants I had planned to go to required reservations well in advance or had gluten free options but weren’t celiac safe.

I found myself wishing I had a resource for vetted restaurants and tips for different destinations so I didn’t have to worry.

I created Destination Vegan / Gluten Free to share information about the best vegan and gluten free restaurants around the world, my favorite products and recipes, and tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way.

Let me do the research so you can relax and enjoy your trip!
