In this Calling in Sick x Ask Alex, I’m answering your real-life questions about navigating international travel with chronic illness… after just getting back from a very impromptu trip to London myself!

We cover:

✈️ The best food I had while abroad 🥜 How to travel safely with food allergies (grocery store hacks, translation cards, and what I always pack) 🧦 If I think compression stockings actually worth it? 🛫 How often I walk on long-haul flights + what I wear when I know I won’t

So if you’ve ever wondered, “do I have to be ‘better’ to travel?” Make sure you tune in to this week’s episode!!

This week, our Substack subscribers also get a bonus Q&A and an allergy friendly print-out you’ll want to pack with you ALWAYS!!

xx, Alex
