About

Hi, I'm Alex.

I'm the creator of Trails, Rides & Tides — a personal blog for me to share my experiences in the great outdoors.

I want this page to be a collection of some of the places I have been, both above and below the waves, and hopefully inspire a bit of adventure in the people that visit. You should find a few stories about where I have been as well as some practical tips for how I did it. Nothing crazy — just an average guy trying to see as much of the world as possible before he dies. Enjoy!
