About The Taste Trekker
I’m Jake, a travel enthusiast and foodie with a passion for exploring new destinations, discovering local experiences and, of course, finding incredible food along the way.
What started as a hobby exploring restaurants and sharing recommendations on Google Maps has grown into something much bigger. Today, I’m proud to be a Level 8 Local Guide, with over 12 million views on my contributions, and the creator of The Taste Trekker — a website dedicated to helping people make the most of their travels.
Travel More. Discover More. Eat More.
Whether you’re exploring the world aboard a cruise ship or flying off for your next city break, The Taste Trekker is here to help you discover more along the way.
You’ll find detailed cruise port guides, helping you make the most of your time ashore, alongside cruise ship guides exploring everything from onboard restaurants and dining experiences to the facilities and attractions each ship has to offer.
For those travelling independently, our city and destination guides are packed with inspiration, recommendations and practical information to help you plan your next adventure. From must-see attractions and hidden gems to independent coffee shops, local bakeries and restaurants worth visiting, there’s plenty to discover.
A Passion for Food & Travel
Food has always been a huge part of how I experience the world. I love discovering regional specialities, trying unfamiliar cuisines and finding those little independent places that make a destination memorable.
You’ll still find plenty of honest restaurant reviews and foodie discoveries throughout the website. After all, experiencing somewhere new isn’t just about what you see, but what you taste along the way!
Join the Journey
The Taste Trekker is constantly evolving, with new destinations to discover, cruise guides to explore and foodie experiences to share.
Whether you’re planning your next cruise, organising a city break or simply looking for inspiration for somewhere new to visit, I hope you’ll find something here to help make your next adventure even more memorable.
So pack your bags, bring your appetite and join me on the journey. There’s always somewhere new to explore!
