Kerry Heaney is a writer and content creator with a passion for food and travel, preferably both at the same time!

A highly regarded Brisbane writer with more than 30 years of experience, Kerry’s engaging travel stories appear across multiple news platforms to take food lovers and travellers on journeys around the world. For her, it’s all about where to go to eat and where to eat when you go.

Kerry also is known for her online presence across multiple platforms as Eat drink and be Kerry - a food lover’s guide to travel based on her journeys. This is where she shares stories and recipes inspired by her travels, ruminates on food issues and helps other food-obsessed travellers find their new favourite destinations.

Fourth-generation Brisbane-born Kerry credits her love of potatoes and lemons to her Irish and Maltese heritage. Kerry is a past president of Australia’s peak body for travel communicators, the Australian Society of Travel Writers (ASTW).
