About

Hi, I’m Alex. I started Elsewhere because I love the planning as much as the travelling: finding the cafés, cocktails and neighbourhoods that give a city its rhythm.

I’m half French, half Swedish, and now based in London. Over the years I’ve realised I travel best when I strike a balance: when to wander, when to pause, when it’s worth booking ahead. I want to eat well, see just enough and come home feeling like I understood something about the place, even if just a little.

Here you’ll find curated itineraries, food and drink picks and reflections on travel. It’s less about ticking off the sights and more about finding the atmosphere, the pace and the details that make a place memorable to me.

When I’m not travelling, I’m probably at a spin or Pilates class, at home in Blackheath with my cats, or planning the next trip.
