The author, a travel writer living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), shares personal anecdotes about navigating travel with a chronic condition. Despite the challenges of IBD, including hospital visits and uncertainty, the author embraces spontaneity and adventure, highlighting experiences like zip-lining in Costa Rica and swimming with manta rays in the Maldives. South Africa stands out as the most accommodating destination for travelers with digestive disorders. The author concludes that while Crohn's disease may complicate life, it has also spurred a passionate love for travel and exploration.
In the last four months, I've zip-lined in Costa Rica, swam with manta rays in the Maldives, and even attended wine tours in South Africa.
Getting diagnosed with a chronic condition was the catalyst I needed to realize I couldn't count on tomorrow. When it comes to travel, as long as I'm in remission, today is the day.
