Win Two Tickets to the GFFAFest in Portland This Weekend

I can't believe it is almost October and that I am heading back to Portland this weekend for the first time in more than 2 years. I used to go to Portland, Oregon regularly for work every four to six weeks from New York City for THREE YEARS. To say this burned me out would be an understatement! Now that my work Portland is in the past, fun Portland is only two days away. I can't wait to eat my way through one of my most favorite gluten-free friendly cities in the world.

I am speaking at the Gluten-Free Food Allergy Fest both Saturday and Sunday. Join me at 10:30am to hear all about my top gluten-free travel tips and how to navigate locally and beyond while maintaining a gluten-free diet. I will also be at blogger booth #331 both days. Please stop by and say hello. I would love to meet you!

Want to win two tickets to this weekend's event? Enter below! Don't delay. The giveaway ends on Thursday at 6pm EST.

2016 Gluten-Free Food Allergy Fest in Portland

It has been two years since I quit my Portland-based job and started my own gluten-free consulting business, GlutenFreelancer. After traveling back-and-forth to Portland from New York City more than 15 times in three years and basically living out of a suitcase, I had to put a pause on my Portland travels. Giving myself professional and mental distance from Portland made me realize how much I really enjoyed being in that city. Portland is by far one the most gluten-free friendly cities in the world. I have blogged about Portland often at Gluten-Free Globetrotter and I try to keep track of the gluten-free openings across the city.

This October, I am excited to return to Portland as both a gluten-free tourist, eating my way through the city, and a presenter at the 2016 Gluten-Free Food Allergy Fest. Join me on October 1st and 2nd as I share my gluten-free travel knowledge, my personal experience of living with celiac disease for more than 30 years, and so much more. The final schedule for the GFFAFest has not yet been posted, but I know I will be on the speaker stage both days and will post my speaking times as soon as I can. I will also have a seat at the bloggers booth, so be sure to stop by.

Will I see you on October 1st and 2nd? I hope so!

Gluten-Free Friends and Celebrities in Texas

Two weeks ago, I went to Texas for the very first time. I had a great time enjoying the weather and the sites of San Antonio before heading to the GFFAFest in Austin. My favorite part about this event was all of the smiling, gluten-free faces. I saw old friends and met new ones. I connected with longtime readers and Facebook friends that I only ever "met" online. I learned about new products and new blogs that I never heard about before. Meeting people is always my favorite part of writing this blog and attending events. You already know that I think these are the real gluten-free celebrities in our community. They aren't on TV (well, some are!) and they aren't in movies but they are the people that day in and day out advocate for our celiac and gluten-free community. This isn't everyone I met during my few days in Texas, these are the only people pictures I have.
