Let me help you discover your next big adventure

Stick around and we’ll dive into the nitty-gritty of planning epic adventures while keeping our blood sugar in check. We’ll swap stories about the time we forgot extra supplies and share tips on how to pack a backpack that’s part outdoorsy gear, part mobile pharmacy.

But more than that, this blog is about proving that a diabetes diagnosis isn’t the end of your story – it’s just the beginning of a new chapter. A chapter filled with breathtaking views and the sweet taste of victory (sugar-free, of course).

Welcome to my little corner of the internet!

I’m Crystal, your travelbetic bestie (that’s travel + diabetic, in case you were wondering 😉). My life of wanderlust came to a screeching halt when I got my diabetes diagnosis. Talk about an existential crisis! I was faced with some scary thoughts: Can I still hike? Is it safe to be miles from civilization? Will I have to trade in my boots for a life of, well… less adventure?

Spoiler alert: The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT!

As I scoured the inner reaches of the web, what I came up with was disappointing. I quickly found that, although travel blogs are plentiful, sooo few represented someone like me. That’s why I started this blog.  It’s a place for me to share my all my favorite things – with my annoying little sidekick. And, give to you what I so desperately needed when my life got turned upside down. Think of this blog as the ultimate travel guide for the insulin-challenged explorer.
