Guest Bio – Meet Kerry

Kerry Heaney

Hey there! I’m Kerry, and I’ve been on a delectable journey around the globe for the past two decades as a seasoned travel writer and digital producer. I’m proudly Australian, with sunny Brisbane as my home base.

With Queensland coursing through my veins, I’ve ventured from the lush tropics to the rugged outback, savouring every morsel and moment along the way. Whether it’s sinking my teeth into freshly caught seafood by the coast or discovering hidden culinary gems in the heart of the hinterland, I’ve made it my mission to taste the essence of every destination I encounter.

When I’m not penning down my latest gastronomic adventures, you’ll likely find me basking on a sun-kissed beach, cocktail in hand, or mesmerized by the breathtaking beauty of a country sunset. Life’s too short not to indulge in its flavour-filled offerings, don’t you think?
