Who Am I?

Hi, I’m Haydn Connolly, the creator of The Allergy Travel Guide - a resource dedicated to helping fellow travelers navigate the world safely while managing food allergies.

I’ve had a severe dairy allergy (anaphylaxis) since childhood, along with minor allergies various fruits. Growing up, I quickly learned that eating out wasn’t always simple, and traveling to new places came with even more challenges. From miscommunication in restaurants to navigating different food labeling systems, I’ve experienced firsthand how overwhelming it can be to explore the world while staying safe.

But I refused to let my allergies limit my adventures. Over the years, I’ve traveled to many destinations across Europe and even a bucket list trip to Japan. I discovered some great tricks to allow me to enjoy new cultures, cuisines, and experiences even with my dietary restrictions.

I created The Allergy Travel Guide to share my knowledge, tips, and personal experiences with others who don’t want their allergies to hold them back. Whether you’re looking for restaurant survival tips, allergy-friendly products or travel hacks, this guide has got you covered.

Food allergies shouldn’t stop you from seeing the world - they should empower you to explore smarter. I hope this guide helps you travel with confidence, knowing that adventure is always possible with the right preparation.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy travels!
