Welcome to Anushka Eats The World!

When I first started picking restaurants in foreign countries, I found it overwhelming. I had to go through thousands of suggestions and read so many reviews, not knowing who to trust or not.

My parents trusted me enough to let me pick, but not every choice I made was successful. There were times when I'd select a place that had good reviews, but many of them were from people who were looking for something different in their food than we were. Over time, I learned how to properly sift through reviews and look for travelers who were similar to my family.

However, this was still very cumbersome, and I often felt like going through that process took the joy out of eating out for me. I always wished that someone would make lists of restaurants they recommended in certain countries or cities for someone similar to them in their tastes. This way, I could find like me and then follow their recommendations to make my life easier and my vacation more relaxing.

Thus I decided to start my Instagram page to be that person for you. I can make your experience in the countries I've visited a little less complicated, at least when it came to your food.

Given that I'm a teenager, Instagram is right in my forte, so I started there by posting every time I was in new countries. I made sure I tagged the location so whoever was looking at the posts could then go there themselves.

However, I felt like the Instagram page didn't fulfill my original purpose. There was a depth lacking in my posts and the content I was spending my time on. People would like the posts, but I wasn't sure it matched the need I had set out to fulfill.

I then turned to my friends and family. I asked them what I should do to expand on what I was currently doing and make it so that people would actively find my pages and recommendations. I researched the best next steps for me, and there was an overwhelming response that a blog would be the best way forward.

Thus, I started this website to centralize my restaurant lists and give you guys a little more detail than I could on Instagram.

I also realized that my audience, young people traveling with friends on a budget, and everyone reading this now rely heavily on blogs and social media to plan their trips. With a combination of Instagram and the blog, I would be a useful resource. I have traveled to just over 20 countries and am familiar with planning trips around food or fitting in as many food experiences into a journey as possible. Furthermore, I am an adventurous eater, and I feel like many people eat the same food if they rely on very touristy reviews. I would give you a more local and authentic food experience.

So that being said, welcome to my blog, where I will share my restaurant recommendations and reviews for places near and far. Please bear with me as I get the hang of things around here and make this experience the best I can for you. In the meantime, my Instagram is up and running, so go check it out @anushkaeatstheworld. Happy eating!!
