K. Alex Beaven is a writer and journalist who focuses on travel, food and drink, health, and news. Alex spent three years (pre-social media) backpacking and working around Europe, Asia, Australia, and Southern Africa using word-of-mouth recommendations and well-worn guidebooks. She loves Mexico, Iceland, and anywhere with ice, snow, and penguins. Her favorite ways to travel are solo, surrounded by wildlife and nature, and within munching distance of the best local eats.
