Hi, I’m Alex.
Florida born, Mediterranean raised. At least for the summers. My mom is Greek, my dad has roots in Naples, and somewhere between those two coastlines I figured out what kind of traveler I am.
I’ll be honest with you. I’m not as organized as what you’ll find on this site. Building Her Passport Life is partly how I’m teaching myself to be. I’ve been working remotely for the same company for 8 years. The only reason I have a 9-to-5 is because it keeps me organized. Don’t tell my managers, they might think I don’t love my job. I do. It gives me the life I want and I know how lucky I am for that. Though I’m pretty sure they’re jealous when I join Teams calls from very good views.
ADHD means a packed itinerary lasts about one day before I abandon it for a random village I spotted from the car window. So I stay longer. I find a base, I rent a car, I figure out where locals actually eat. Two weeks minimum, usually more.
I’m good at photographing other people. When the camera turns on me, I have no idea what to do with my hands. I’m hoping this site teaches me that too. At least to remember to pose, to remember to take the photo. And maybe one day, to actually stay somewhere as long as I planned.
Love, Alex
