Hi, I'm Julianna.

Living with celiac disease has changed the way I travel and experience the world. It has required confidence to navigate gluten-free eating, and advocacy for more inclusive dining experiences. And also a healthy dose of trust and gratitude. It's introduced me to incredible people, meaningful connections, and some of the warmest hospitality I've encountered. 

I recently completed my master's in Hospitality Management at Auburn University, where I followed my curiosity and passion for food, wine, events, and travel. I'm drawn to places, experiences, and people that encourage connection and well-being. I love a beautiful meal made with seasonal ingredients, a charming city, a good glass of wine, a long walk, a meaningful conversation with friends and family, and the excitement of discovering somewhere for the first time. And most definitely a dedicated gluten-free restaurant where I can forget gluten exists for a moment.

I'm currently supporting Auburn's College of Human Sciences' study abroad program in Ariccia, Italy, while eating all the gluten-free pizza and pasta I can find. Thankfully, I already know the wine is safe. 

This is where I share my travels, current musings, gluten-free finds, and hospitality insights along the way. My hope is to inspire others to remain spontaneous, advocate for themselves, and seek support from their village. 

Thanks for following along! I'd love to connect.
