About Alex in Wanderland

Alex in Wanderland is the personal travel blog of Alex, who began blogging to document a two month trip to Southeast Asia in 2009 and left New York to travel full time in 2011. The site has grown into a broad travel resource with more than 1,700 posts since 2009 and a menu of guides, ebooks, a portfolio, and retreat offerings. Alex writes about destinations, hotels, diving, and life on the road, and the site has expanded into a boutique travel company and rental properties. Posts are image-rich and appear to rely on Alex's own photography.

Alex writes like a pen pal who moved abroad and kept sending long, warm postcards. The archive leans toward long-form, first-person essays that mix personal reflection with practical tips, and the voice in the 4,800-word 2025 recap feels intimate, candid and occasionally wry. You will find detailed hotel crushes, diving writeups, island guides and gear-forgetting confessions alongside planning resources and ebooks. Reading the site is like settling in for a proper catch-up, complete with lots of photos and many internal links to plan the trip that inspired the story. Posting is leisurely, a few times a year, so new material appears sporadically.
