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.

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

Greece: 10 reasons to visit and their local food

From the stunning sunsets in Santorini that seem to come out of a postcard to the hidden wineries in the centre of the island, Greece is the perfect holiday getaway with hundreds of islands to be discovered and the great beaches of Folegandros and Corfu that will relax your mind and your soul. Your cravings for good food will be satisfied by local fresh fish in abundance, light greek salads and hearty moussakas – a traditional dish made of lamb meat, potatoes and aubergines.
