I’m Kerry Heaney, an Australian food and travel writer helping travellers discover where to go and what to eat through trusted storytelling and real travel experiences. Through my website, Eat Drink and Be Kerry, and contributions to leading publications, I share destinations, dining experiences and regional escapes that inspire readers to travel better and eat well wherever they go.
With more than 20 years in travel writing, I specialise in food-led travel and regional experiences, connecting readers with destinations and experiences worth travelling for.
Meet Kerry
Travel has always been about discovery, but for me, the real stories begin at the table. Whether it’s a roadside bakery, a chef championing local producers or a hidden regional winery, food is often the gateway to understanding a destination.
Based in Queensland, I have spent years exploring Australia’s regions and international destinations, sharing stories that encourage travellers to look beyond the obvious and discover places through local food, culture and people.
My readers trust my recommendations because they come from personal experience. Every hotel, restaurant, tour or destination featured has been genuinely explored, tasted and experienced.
