The week in Noto I built for my own family — celiac-safe, fully researched — and couldn't take. A reflection on the trips that outlive their endings, and why the right preparation lets a gluten-free family travel with confidence.

The calculation begins before the menu arrives. Traveling with celiac disease means being somewhere beautiful while part of your attention never fully arrives — and learning, over time, what it takes to change that.

The line that started everything was so casual he probably doesn't remember saying it. A first date, a comment about food, and the realization that changed how we travel.
