Katherine Alex Beaven
K. Alex Beaven is a U.S.-based writer and journalist who focuses on travel, food and drink, wellness, and news. In the dark ages before social media, Alex spent three years backpacking and working around Europe, Asia, Australia, and Southern Africa, relying on word-of-mouth recommendations and well-worn guidebooks. She loves Mexico, Iceland, and Japan, or pretty much anywhere with snow and glaciers, volcanic rock, fresh seafood, or safaris. Her favorite ways to travel are solo, slow, and within munching distance of the best local eats. Alex has been a travel writer for over a decade, and her work has been featured in Lonely Planet, AFAR, Thrillist, Travel + Leisure, The Points Guy, and TripSavvy, among others.
