About me


Taste & Wanderlust
I’m Aleasha, an Irish food and travel blogger. This blog started back in 2018 when I moved to Lille, France, as a way to document my travels abroad—through its food.
Now based in Melbourne, Australia—a city famous for its vibrant food culture—I’m continuing my journey.

Here, I’ll be sharing travel guides, tips, and acting as your travel buddy and travel planner, taking you through the best experiences I encounter.
From uncovering Melbourne’s culinary treasures to exploring Australia and Asia, I’ll help you find authentic spots and hidden foodie gems along the way.

TRAVEL STARTS WITH FOOD
Food is at the heart of every trip I take. I believe the best way to truly understand a country’s culture is through its cuisine—whether it’s street food in Bangkok, a local market in Marrakech, or a hidden pasta spot in Rome. My travels practically revolve around food, and I always hunt down the best eats while avoiding overpriced, underwhelming tourist spots.

Smart Travel, Real Experiences
I’ve traveled across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, always searching for authentic experiences that offer the best value. I believe smart travel is about making the most of your time and money, so I do my research to uncover hidden gems and local favorites beyond the usual tourist hotspots.

I’m always on the hunt for the most authentic flavors, skipping overpriced tourist traps in favor of local favorites. Through my food and travel blog, I share the best eats, helping you taste your way through each destination like a local.
