Welcome to Feastio, a food blog for travelers always looking for their next best meal. If your trip planning is motivated by food, you're in the right place. You're in the right place if your eyes light up at a beautifully presented dish. If you celebrate life with the most delicious food you can find, you, my friend, are in the right place.
My vision for Feastio is to create a website highlighting the best restaurants in the world and a community of readers sharing their favorite food and drink experiences with us through social media.
Please help us get started by following Feastio on Instagram or Facebook.
What To Expect
Initially, I will focus on the restaurant scenes in three of my favorite cities: Austin, Mexico City, and Lima. After traveling and living abroad for eight years, I moved to Austin in April 2016. Known for its mouth-watering Texas barbecue, Austin has a thriving food and bar scene with plenty of events to keep foodies busy.
I first visited Mexico City in 2013. Since discovering a direct flight from Austin in 2017, I returned four times within 12 months. It's also on my shortlist of foreign cities where I might want to live one day.
Since 2011, I've spent eight months in Lima, using it as a base to explore Peru and South America. In the process, I've become a big fan of Peruvian food, and Lima has some of Latin America's best restaurants.
Feastio, however, will reflect much more than these three cities. I'll share my stories as I continue traveling to new countries and returning to some old favorites. I'll also look back and share some of my favorite meals from the past.
Would it surprise you that I've taken photos of nearly every meal I've eaten abroad in over 50 countries since December 2007? If not, you're in good company. I have been taking food photos for as long as cell phones have had cameras.
While not the focus of Feastio, I also consider drinks, including cocktails, beer, and wine, to be within the scope of this blog. Expect to see coverage of bars, breweries, and wineries, too.
You won't find recipes, dietary advice, and home cooking. There are plenty of other sites delivering that info.
Editorial Policy
As an active member of professional organizations, such as the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW), International Food, Wine, and Travel Writer's Association (IFWTWA), and Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA), I pride myself on acting ethically and transparently in my work.
I pay my way for 99% of my travel and dining experiences. I'll indicate as much in the article and related social media posts if I'm invited somewhere at reduced or no cost, such as a food event or press trip.
It's my goal to balance delivering a high-quality reader experience with the need to earn money through advertising. I may include affiliate links for products and services I use and recommend. I don't intend to accept guest contributors as Feastio gets going. If and when this changes, I'll let readers know.
