Leyla Kazim Will Inspire You to Take a Big Bite Out of Life

Leyla Kazim describes herself as a Londoner with a passion for exploring our planet and discovering new cultures and cuisines along the way. A lover of far-off lands and all things gustatory, her website and accompanying social media pages chronicles her thoughts, experiences, and endeavors, inviting you to tag along.

Having co-created Lonely Planet’s much-anticipated book: The Ultimate Eatlist, The World’s Top 500 Food Experiences, Kazim knows what she’s talking about. “I was brought up surrounded by exceptional cooking from my Mauritian mother and Turkish-Cypriot father,” she writes on her website, “appreciating the huge range of flavors available in the culinary world is something I actively seek out and happily partake in on a daily basis.”

“The reason I, and so many others, love travel so much is because it is surely the best way to smash through pre-conceptions and break down cultural barriers,” she further explained in a recent interview with Mother Tongue. “When we are once again able to move freely post COVID-19, I hope people will see what a gift we’d been taking for granted travel really is. I hope we will approach travel with the ambition to immerse ourselves in new cultures so that we can acknowledge, celebrate, embrace, and learn from our cultural differences, rather than persecute them.”

According to Kazim, she shares her experiences, with the hope that they might ignite a sense of adventure in others. If not, at least they can enjoy her inspiring presence.
