We’re here to help you plan an incredible trip.
We’re Matt and Alysha, the two endlessly curious (gluten free) travelers behind this site.
A couple of years ago, we quit our jobs and spent two years on the road in a converted Honda Odyssey exploring the western United States before spending three months in Europe.
After two years on the road, we put down roots in Portland, Oregon, and have fallen in love with the Pacific Northwest (Matt grew up in Seattle).
Now, we spend about six weeks a year in Europe, and the rest of the year exploring places closer to home.
We plan (and pay for) all of our own travels, and we use our first hand knowledge to write detailed travel guides to the places we love to help YOU plan an amazing trip.

Hey There! We’re Matt and Alysha
We’re Matt and Alysha, the two endlessly curious gluten free foodies behind Wheatless Wanderlust. We believe that travel is about learning, discovery, and connection.
We’ll help you become a more active participant when you travel – as opposed to an observer – by helping you find ways to connect with locals through cooking classes, walking tours, and more.
We write detailed travel guides to help you forge deeper connections, and hopefully we’ll help you discover something new along the way.
PS: Matt has Celiac Disease, and we write gluten free travel guides to help you find the best safe gluten free restaurants around the world!

How to Visit the Vatican (Museums + St. Peter’s Basilica)
The combination of the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Basilica is quite possibly the most impressive collection of art in the world (the Louvre is the only collection I can think of that comes close in breadth and impressiveness). Now, I’m not saying it’s my favorite collection of art – I generally prefer museums that…
