Travel Tip #3: Food Allergies
If you have a food allergy this can be serious business when traveling to other countries with different languages. There are a few things you can do to make this easier on yourself.
1. Learn how to say "I am allergic to ___" or "Please, no ___". Sometimes certain cultures do not understand what allergies mean so to really drive the point home you may consider learning the phrase "____ will make me die" , even if it wont.
2. Carry a drawn picture or better yet a picture on your phone of the item you are allergic to with you when dining out.
3. Have a local friend or local staff in the establishment where you are staying with write out a sentence in the local dialect stating your allergy.
