Does anyone have any travel tips for travelling in Mexico, Guatemala and Cuba.

As a non Spanish speaking gluten free and low dairy traveler, I am a little scared about eating with food allergies in another language.

I have done some research into central america, and found that there are a number of dishes which use corn based ingredients, rather then wheat based, but there is still plenty of flour and gluten in their cooking as well. 

My flatmate also tells me often there foods are spicy so they cut it with cheese and sour cream (which I can not eat) So I think i will have to work on my cast iron stomach and build up my tolerance to spicy foods. 

I found these great

Spanish Cards for Gluten free Travellers

Spanish Cards for Dairy Free Travellers.

So my plan it to print out a few of these to gift to chefs, waiters, or who ever is feeding me if I am not down with the lingo.

Do you have any travel tips?

I was wondering if any of you have been to these destinations and had any travel tips for me? If so could you leave them in the comment box below on my blog. So other readers can benefit from our advise. 😀 Thanks
