My First Week in Thailand

Two people sit on the ground, mixing ingredients together in a bowl

Hi! I’m Madison, a Business major at the University of Oregon, and I’m currently interning as a Financial Analyst in Bangkok, Thailand. One of the identities I’m highlighting during my time abroad is living with celiac disease—a chronic autoimmune condition that requires me to follow a strict gluten-free diet. Traveling or living in another country with this condition adds an extra layer of planning, caution, and adaptation, and I wanted to share what that’s been like so far.
