Can you fly with a stoma? How do you prepare for travelling abroad? And what happens if things don’t go to plan?
In this episode, Sophie (@monastoma_and_me) joins us for an honest conversation about travelling, hiking, and navigating new experiences while living with a stoma. From packing supplies and getting through airport security to managing leaks, unfamiliar food, and limited facilities, she shares tips and advice from her own experiences.
We also get into the realities of outdoor adventures - from staying comfortable on long hikes to maintaining your routine when you’re away from home.
