Hi, I’m Collin.
I’m a Type 1 Diabetic. Traveler. Advocate.
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 16. For years, I let diabetes control my choices, especially travel.
But everything changed when I took my first international trip and realized it was possible with the right planning and knowledge.
Now I travel the world, manage my diabetes with a pump and CGM, and help others do the same.
Diabetes is part of my journey, not the end of it.”

After almost 10 years of wondering whether Type 1 diabetes would keep me from seeing the world, I finally booked a solo trip to Italy. Things didn't exactly go according to plan, but that first international trip changed how I saw travel, diabetes, and what I was capable of.
