Hello! I’m Alexa, and welcome to my blog. Here you’ll find a mixture of travel adventures in the UK and abroad, Bristol food recommendations and various creative ventures, combined with personal thoughts as I navigate life.

I started this blog in January 2018 after finishing my engineering degree and posted sporadically for a few years. In 2024 I truly got into the swing of things, publishing 15 posts, followed by a further 18 in 2025! I love being able to curate this small corner of the internet, and provide insights and recommendations to others. If I help just one person have a great experience at an independent restaurant or inspire even one trip to a new country then it feels worthwhile.

I love dancing, travelling, eating at independent restaurants and experimenting with just about any creative project I can get my hands on. Follow me over on Instagram @alexaholroydart to see my latest sketching endeavours. Any other questions you might have please don’t hesitate to ask!

Thanks for stopping by!
