Hi ๐Ÿ‘‹ Iโ€™m Alex โ€” an American living in France, writing about food, travel, and life abroad.

This is the start of Alex and Beyond, a place where Iโ€™ll share stories from life in the South of France, travel journeys, and food adventures. Before this adventure, I spent 15 years working in tech across Washington D.C., London, and Amsterdam.

Now Iโ€™m exploring a slower, tastier life, often with my husband, Mehmet, and our dog, Bindi ๐Ÿพ in tow. You can watch our dog-friendly travel adventures on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@alexandmehmet

I'm an American in her 30's on a "mini-retirement" in France after leaving corporate life. I've been living abroad for 6+ years (London & Amsterdam). I share stories of my travels, life in France and destination tips.
