Where we’re at: I’m recapping my two-country, three-island trip to the Caribbean in December 2023. It kicked off here, in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands! Cayman, and the me that visits it, have changed much in the last fourteen years. Today I’m all grown up, and I’ve definitely found my new home away from home on Grand […]

Where we’re at: I’m recapping my two-country, three-island trip to the Caribbean in December 2023. It kicked off here, in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands! As I wandered wide-eyed through Newark Airport, it hit me — I hadn’t been on a plane since returning back from Burning Man in early September, and hadn’t left the country since […]

Traditionally, this post has been one of my most popular of the year. Traditionally, it has also come out in, well, January, ha. However, 2023 is turning out to be a year of big changes for me and there’s been a lot of uncertainty about how this year will unfold. Unlike in recent times, that’s not […]

I transitioned from my Central American spring into my North American summer by tropical island hopping north-bound, from Roatan to Grand Cayman to Bermuda. That was the first half of the month. Then, after a quick spin around Upstate New York, I was island bound again, this time of […]

We’ve all seen the Nicki Minaj video of the Trinidad version. But did you know there are actually smaller carnivals all over Latin America and the Caribbean? Like the Cayman Island’s own Batabano. Batabano is a relatively small and young festival in the […]

First, I was nervous it might kill me a little to go back, because it’s such an emotionally charged spot for me. I spent a happy summer here with the love of my early twenties, a relationship that would eventually turn my heart and life […]

Four years since the day I took off from New York on a one-way ticket. Fourty-eight months since alexinwanderland.com went live. One thousand, four hundred and sixty […]

I’m a little behind on posting this week. But we’re all up and running now, and I think you’ll agree […]

They are easy and fun to write, they do well in search engines, and they get good responses.  Recently, flipping through my passport in anticipation of my upcoming trip to Spain, I realized I had surpassed my 10th foreign country without even acknowledging the milestone! I was already at eleven. Maybe not such […]
