Hey, I'm Alexandra Hartley!

Portland, OR · Adventure Travel Storytelling

Hi there, I'm Alexandra Hartley, but you can call me Alex! I've always had an insatiable curiosity for the world and a deep love for adventure. Over the past decade, I've explored more than 30 countries, from trekking through the Himalayas to diving in the Great Barrier Reef. My journey has taken me to bustling cities, serene landscapes, and everything in between. Each trip is a new chapter in my ever-growing book of experiences, filled with stories of resilience, discovery, and sometimes, just pure luck! I believe that travel isn't just about seeing new places; it's about connecting with different cultures, pushing your limits, and returning home with a richer perspective on life.

I started Roaming Ramblings because I believe everyone deserves quality information about travel. Whether you're just getting started or looking for fresh perspectives, I've been there — and I want to share what actually works.

Every week I share actionable tips, honest stories, and the kind of practical advice I wish someone had given me earlier. No jargon, no judgment — just real talk.

Let's get lost together!
