It all started when…

I decided to do something totally out of my comfort zone. Following a moment of very uncharacteristic fearlessness, I decided to study abroad in my senior year of college. A few months later I was standing at the airport with my two suitcases, hugging my parents goodbye, with a pit in my stomach like “what have I just done?!”. This shy, introverted, unsure-of-herself girl boarded that plane and went on to have the adventure of her life. That one decision altered my life and sent me in a direction that the timid senior-year girl would never have guessed: a life of wanderlust and adventure.

Almost a decade later, I’ve been so lucky to experience some wonderful people, amazing places, and breathtaking moments along this beautiful journey. After being diagnosed with a gluten allergy shortly after returning from studying abroad, I began seeking out gluten free resources for my destinations. When I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for, I started creating my own #glutenfreetravelguides on all my travels to help make it easier for others to have a fabulous trip without sacrificing the yummy bits.

So friend, I hope The Traveling Cupkate can be your perfect resource for planning your next adventure… whether it’s near or far, whether you’re gluten free or can eat all the baguette, whether you’re doing a solo female trip or a romantic getaway with your hubby. Get out there - because it’s never too late, you’re never not the right pant size, you’re never too young or old to start making your life the adventure you desire.

Bon Voyage!
