Maintaining dietary requirements abroad may seem challenging, but planning makes it simple. Whether vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or allergy-prone, you can still enjoy local cuisine without risk.
Practical Strategies
Learn a few key food phrases in the local language and carry a translation card that explains your dietary needs. Use apps to locate restaurants that accommodate your diet, and keep some ‘safe’ snacks on hand like gluten-free crackers or protein bars for times when suitable options are limited.
Quick Tips
- Ask restaurants politely about ingredients.
- Research dishes that naturally meet your dietary requirements.
- Keep backup snacks to avoid hunger emergencies.
