Apps for Gluten-Free Travelers
FindMeGlutenFree App
Available for both iPhone and Android, this is THE app to find gluten-free food on the go. These restaurants are written by gluten-free travelers just like you, so they give first-hand reviews of gluten-free food. With the premium subscription, you can create maps, sort by dedicated gluten-free, and so much more. I have been personally using this app for years all across the world.
Code: GFGlobetrotter for $5 off the premium.
Wise Banking App
This Wise app is a global financial platform for sending international money transfers, holding multiple currencies, and spending abroad using a debit card. It makes getting local currency so easy!
I am not even kidding when I tell you that I use this app EVERY SINGLE DAY. Once I moved to Canada, I needed Canadian currency readily available. I created a Canada account and use that card for all of my tap-to-pay purchases. Plus, the exchange rates and transfer fees are LOWER than my bank here in Canada, so I continue to use this daily.
Gluten-Free Translation Cards
Equal Eats Translation Cards
These Equal Eats translation cards are a personal favorite that I have been using for years. There are cards for celiac disease, food allergies, non-food allergies, special diets and more. These translation cards are available in dozens of languages and available for immediate download or to purchase a plastic card. You can also get customized translation cards with a photo which are perfect for using for kids with food allergies.
Code: GFGlobetrotter for 10% off.
Legal Nomads Restaurant Cards
These Legal Nomads translated, gluten-free restaurant cards were created by a celiac traveler and long-time travel writer. Each card is carefully crafted by someone with celiac disease, and then goes through 2 sets of translations to ensure accuracy. The guides are sold as immediate PDF downloads for you to print out at home.
Select Wisely Translation Cards
Allergy and dietary translation cards covering many languages and dietary conditions, including celiac disease. These cards designed to be handed directly to kitchen staff for a clear, no-translation-app-needed explanation of your needs.
Language Tools
Langua Learning Platform
Language-learning platform built around real conversation practice, useful for building enough working vocabulary to communicate dietary needs directly rather than relying only on translation apps in the moment. Live, human tutors and AI-app both available through this platform.

Where to Stay
Booking.com
I personally use Booking.com for almost all of my hotel reservations. It is an easy-to-use platform that gives you access to hotels, motels, and private rentals across the country. If you get to Genius level, you can sometimes get an additional 10-15% off your stay.
VRBO.com
If booking a rental property with a private kitchen is your preferred travel method, then VRBO is the site for you. You can sort by budget, location, number of bedrooms, and more. Having your own kitchen allows you to prepare all of your gluten-free meals.
