As someone who lives gluten-free (by need or by choice), traveling can sometimes feel like a culinary scavenger hunt, especially in countries where dedicated GF spots are few and far between.

My new Favourite Gluten-Free hotspot in Rotterdam: Sue Café
I absolutely love the gluten-free community. Honestly, we’re all just trying to live our best lives, and what I find so beautiful is how much we genuinely care for one another.
