About the Author
Hi, I’m Alex Carter, a travel writer and adventure enthusiast with a passion for exploring the world and sharing my experiences through storytelling. I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in Journalism, specializing in digital media and travel writing.
For years, I’ve been traveling to unique destinations, reviewing hotels, and uncovering hidden gems to help fellow travelers make the most of their journeys. Whether it’s a cozy boutique hotel in Paris, a remote island escape in the Pacific, or an off-the-beaten-path adventure, I love discovering places that leave a lasting impression.
Through my writing, I aim to provide insightful travel guides, expert recommendations, and firsthand experiences to inspire others to embrace the adventure. When I’m not on the road, you’ll find me hiking in national parks, trying new cuisines, or planning my next getaway.
Join me as I explore the world!

Golden pagodas and ancient temples might steal the spotlight, but Myanmar hides a coastal gem: 1,200 miles of shoreline dotted with beaches in Myanmar that stand toe-to-toe with Asia’s top destinations.
