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

Antigua: 10 reasons to visit and their local food

From the incredible 365 beaches of Antigua to the taste of the mahi-mahi, Caribbeans are nothing far from a paradise on earth – you can trust what everyone is saying!

Accommodations are mainly for honeymooners but will suit backpackers as well with some additional research. If you want to spoil yourself, you can find rooms with views directly on the seaside. Forget cocktails for once (but do try Pina Coladas..) and taste fresh coconuts, plantain chips and natural juices relaxing by the side of the beach. Welcome to paradise, welcome to the Caribbeans..
