About
Hi Lovelies! I’m Becca. I’ve been living the Gluten Free Dream since Fall of 2016 after I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in October 2016. I’m a Celiac but I’m also an avid backpacker, hiker, outdoor advocate and lover of wild spaces. When I was diagnosed I struggled to find resources that talked about how to enjoy the outdoors while being Gluten Free. Much of the backpacking food and gear is not suited to those with Celiac Disease. So I decided to create this space to talk about all things Gluten Free in the Outdoors. Here you will find information on how to travel, backpack and hike while being 100% Gluten Free, along with information about amazing Gluten Free brands that can help you keep up all of your activities.
In addition to managing Gluten Free Outdoors, I also founded a non-profit Celiac Portland. Our mission is to build a more inclusive environment for those living with and affected by Celiac Disease & Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. I also work full time for a non-profit combating climate change while going to graduate school for my MBA.
When I’m not working or spending times outdoors, I’m also a banjo player, mom to the cutest little kitty (Panther), soccer player, traveler, yogi, climber, friend, gardner, planner, adventurer, crafter, explorer, cyclist, book lover and partner. The beach will forever be my happy place. I grew up on the West Coast and call the Pacific Northwest Home.
