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

How we planned our trip in Russia on the Transiberian railway:

It has always been Sara’s dream to travel to Russia and cross the (huge) country on board of a train. But planning it in the average 2 weeks’ holiday time you get off from work would have meant a massive rush.

And this is something that definitively does not go well with long train journeys. So the immediate thought that Sara had when starting to plan this sabbatical was to finally head off to St. Petersburg and start the adventure from there.

Scotland Edinburgh: 10 reasons to visit and their local food

From the views from Calton Hill where the whole city of Edinburgh unfolds in front of your eyes, to the traditional Castle that seems to come out from an ancient book, Edinburgh has great charm and it is a necessary stop to understand how different Scotland is from England. Food is not the main reason to travel there but Scotland is the home of probably the best whiskies in the world (no offence, other whisky producers!). If you are visiting and feel adventurous, you should try haggis (read further to discover what it is..) and have a morning start with porridge with whisky to get your energies up and explore the Royal mile and the Old Town!
