About
Hi and welcome to Travel and Taste with Tracy!
It’s nice to have you in my little corner on the web. Welcome to my blog, Travel and Taste with Tracy, a place where travel, food and a little everyday inspiration come together.
I created this blog to inspire you to explore more, experience new cultures and make the most of the opportunities life has to offer. Here you’ll find travel guides, practical tips, itineraries, destination inspiration and food from around the world, along with plenty of ideas for making travel more accessible, including travelling with kids.
I’m a firm believer that great travel doesn’t have to be complicated. I love researching, planning and putting together the details that make a trip come together, and my aim is to take some of that work off your hands. Whether you’re looking for inspiration for your next holiday, a detailed itinerary to help plan your days, or simply wondering where to eat and what to see, I hope you’ll find something here that makes your own travels a little easier.
And then there’s the food. From recipes inspired by places I’ve travelled to, to tried-and-tested favourites from my own kitchen, food is an important part of how I experience the world. After all, some of the best travel memories are made around a table.Here you’ll find everything from travel guides and tips, to delicious recipes from all around the world. Besides that, I write about what’s close to my heart.
My Story
I’m Tracy, a travel and food blogger based in Auckland, New Zealand, a city I’ve proudly called home for almost 25 years.
My love of travel and food began when I was young and has only grown over the years. I’ve always been curious about the world, discovering new places, experiencing different cultures and, of course, tasting my way through them.
Over the years, my husband and I have travelled across Australasia, Europe, the United States and Asia, always looking for the next place to explore. We love discovering the well-known highlights, but just as much, we enjoy finding those little experiences that make a destination memorable.
One of our most memorable adventures came in 2018, when we took a sabbatical and spent almost six months travelling through Europe with our three-year-old. We explored Eastern Europe, spent time in the South of France and Portugal, and finished with three wonderful months in Spain.It was an incredible experience, and one that reinforced something I’ve always believed: you don’t have to wait for the perfect time to travel. Sometimes, you just have to make it happen.
Travelling with children has also become a big part of our story. It may require a little more planning, but it is absolutely possible. Some of our most rewarding travel memories have been made as a family. I hope the family travel guides and practical tips here show you that travelling with kids can be both achievable and incredibly enjoyable.
When I’m not travelling, you’ll usually find me spending time with my husband and our two kids, cooking or baking, or planning where we might go next.
For me, travel is about so much more than ticking destinations off a list. It’s about the experiences, the people, the food and the stories you bring home with you. It’s about stepping outside your everyday life and seeing the world from a different perspective.
That’s what I hope to share here!
So whether you’re planning your next adventure, looking for travel inspiration, searching for your next great meal, or simply love discovering somewhere new, I’m glad you’re here.
Thanks for joining in and staying on this journey with me. I hope you find something that inspires you to explore, taste and experience a little more of the world.
xoxo
Tracy
