Are you looking for inspiration to travel around the world with celiac disease? In this blog I am going to talk to Lauren from @thenomadiclifers. We connected on Instagram after I put out a call to bloggers around the world with celiac disease. Lauren and her family live a nomadic lifestyle and both her and her two sons have celiac disease. They have lived in Laos, Madagascar, Australia and Mongolia, among others. I was of course curious how they do that and how it works – you can find out in this blog!
Introduction
Lauren has been living in multiple places around the world since 1997. Together with her husband and two children, they form a family of expats who live off the beaten track. They don’t let celiac disease get in the way of them exploring the world and are happy to help other travellers nervous about traveling to unfamiliar locations. Lauren and her family love nothing more than to share their experiences and help other expat families navigate life and travel abroad.
Where it all started
Lauren’s husband is from Australia, herself from Zimbabwe. They were living in Australia when the children were born and Steven was offered an opportunity at a company in Laos. He wanted a new challenge and Lauren found it difficult raising the children in Australia so far away from family. Living internationally ticked the right boxes and allowed them to travel to relatives more easily. Lauren: Australia really is the end of the earth and not a cheap or easy place to get in and out of with a family.
