    Very useful in Croatia

    Having this card in two languages made my life so much easier at hotels and restaurants in Croatia, and I didn't have to explain what dairy free meant, as they would read it in their language. The staff also took the card into the kitchen to the chefs to make sure they were covering everything. What a great idea. Thank you!

    Worked great in Mexico

    Its great. I bought it for an upcoming trip to Mexico, and I wasnt pleasantly surprised to discover that it is in English on one side and Spanish on the other so it will stay in my wallet at all times and be used in the U.S. as well.
