Hi, my name is Rachi, founder of Food Voyageur. I have always been involved in food, from the time I was small, and I always wanted to be in the food industry. I was fortunate enough to be born to one of the culinary gurus in Sri Lanka. My dad, Rohan Fernandopulle, was a chef by profession all his life but is now a general manager and chairman in a five-star hotel in Sri Lanka. At the age of 18, I left my home country to pursue a career in hospitality. I left for France to do my bachelor’s degree in Gastronomy and Culinary Arts at one of the most famous hotel schools, Institut Paul Bocuse in Lyon, which is where I really learned the true art of cooking. From there, I traveled the world learning and training under the best chefs and best restaurants in the world, where I learned so many cuisines and flavors that I carry with me today. My final destination was Australia. I live in beautiful, not-so-sunny Melbourne, but I call Melbourne my home now.
