Alexandra (AKA Alex) Reynolds describes herself as a twenty-something American whose life fits into two backpacks. In February of 2016, Alex traveled from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Tbilisi, Georgia, and because of that trip, she decided that that traveling is how she wanted to live. She says on her blog, Lost with Purpose, that in a year she left her job, sold her things and decided to start traveling the world, first with her ex-boyfriend Sebastiaan, until the end of 2017, and then alone as she does now.
Her initial objectives were to share truthful and useful information with future travelers who will pass through the destinations that she has already visited and fill out a passport, a goal that she has currently reached. She planned that her savings would be enough to travel for a full year but the money was enough for much more. She has been traveling since 2016 up until now because she decided not to stop. Alex became a digital nomad and, together, with the content she creates for her blog, the social networks and the photographs she takes of the places she visits, she finances her new journeys.
Her current goal is to travel to places that are not exactly touristy and show the truth behind countries with negative media reputations such as Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. With this, she intends to promote tourism in those countries by showing what the media does not show. Alex is living proof that travel can change people so let's get lost with purpose to find ourselves.
