Miranda Mullings, a writer living with severe nut allergies, has navigated travel challenges since childhood. Despite her life-threatening condition, she pursued her passion for international travel, beginning with a solo road trip to Quebec City. The language barrier complicated her experiences in restaurants, where staff often struggled to understand her dietary needs. Over time, she embraced her allergies as an integral part of her identity and life, using her experiences to educate others on safely exploring the world with food allergies.
"When I was a kid, food allergies among children weren't as common as they are now. It was embarrassing, but it eventually became part of my identity."
"Even though I had been taking French in school, many locals didn't understand me. There were a lot of restaurants where the staff didn't speak English, or didn't understand me when I explained my allergies."
