    -Sheryl

  • "Catalin was wonderful. She helped me to find safe, delicious places for our family to eat. When there was not enough information on a website to determine if it was safe for us to eat there, she'd email the restaurant. She made our reservations. Catalin recommended a small town to me that was celiac friendly. She helped me to find restaurants close to our apartment or close to the places we are going to tour. She told me about apps so we could order online and have gluten free meals delivered to our apartment. I'm actually excited now about our trip!"
