Risk and travel have always kept close company, but what if even the most innocent-seeming meal could threaten you with mortal peril? Allie Bahn’s childhood revolved around two themes: watching her charismatic uncle travel the globe as a TV presenter, and battling severe food allergies that threatened to reduce her freedom significantly.
Allie was determined not to let this constraint prevent her from enjoying travel, and she has shared her experience in a blog, Miss Allergic Reactor, and an Instagram page that tens of thousands of travelers around the world have turned to for guidance. Communication is often the key, Allie explains, as you need to be certain about what you are being served. As rates of food allergies skyrocket in the Western world, Allie’s advice will only become more sought-after.
Listen to Allie Bahn on the Travel Writing Podcast and learn how she carved out this niche as a travel writer and influencer, the challenges of traveling with a significant medical constraint, and her upcoming travel plans as a new mother.
