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

Why I did not like Bali, at first:

I landed in Bali alone, Sara was back in Italy to spend some time with her family and I did not want to go all the way back and then again head for East. Being by myself could already have been one reason not to like Bali, but it is not what I will be talking about in this post.

I decided for a hotel in an area that could allow me to explore both South and North of the island and I opted for the area of Kuta towards Seminyak.

After landing, I paid the Visa On Arrival fee as I wanted to extend my stay for more than 30 days and then made my way out of the airport

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!

Discover now the 10 tips that will make you wish to book a flight to Edinburgh in Scotland

How to choose your itinerary through immense China

China has been on our bucket list for a long time but, let’s be honest, it is such a huge country that needs proper time to visit.
That’s why until this gap year, we had never really found the perfect break to devote our yearly two weeks holiday to it.

So it’s not a surprise that, with more time for travelling, we have immediately signed up for it.
Plus, we managed to do that as part of the mythical Trans-Mongolian rail trip.
