Foodmadics: travel and taste with Sara and Ale

Welcome to our blog, we are Sara & Ale: we are Italians and we love to travel and taste. We coined the term Foodmadics to describe those who travel & taste like us.

Sara is sweet, quirky, funny and writes all the content in this blog. She is a great travel planner but also disaster-prone and a little bit of a scaredy cat sometimes. Shh, don’t tell her this last part or she’ll put on her angry face..

Ale (like the beer, yes, but pronounced differently!) is cheeky, methodical and sometimes extremely annoying. But hey, he was the one deciding to build this website

England: 10 reasons to visit and their local food

From the countryside in Cotswolds that seems to come out of a Jane Austen book, to the traditional English breakfast in the morning, England has changed its past bland food history and in the recent years, many places that offer great food blossomed in the country. You can now experience simple but tasty gastropubs and great restaurants alongside with the traditional afternoon teas and fish and chips or pies. If you are visiting Dorset or Cornwall, we recommend tucking in the fresh fish produce (mussels are a number 1!) at places like Rick Stein’s restaurants. If you are planning a visit, do not forget to put down in your list Dorset, Seven Sisters, Cornwall and get a taste of Wales at Rhossili Bay.

Guide to walk the Zhangjiajie natural park in China:

We decided to visit the Zhangjiajie natural park in August, during low season in the course of our long trip in China. The temperatures were quite high and we do not recommend to do the same if you have the chance to plan for a different period of the year.

You should always check that you are not visiting in correspondence to a national Chinese holiday or you will end up walking around with hundreds of people pushing each other and taking selfies.

Expect always many people in the park, but this guide in 7 steps will put you in the condition to find yourself alone surrounded by magnificent nature.
