Meet Alex Rivers
Eighteen years ago, I set out on a journey that changed how I see the world. What started as a curiosity about distant places became a lifelong passion for understanding cultures, landscapes, and the people who call them home.
Flyinges.com is the result of those years of exploration—60 original essays, each one a deep dive into places that shaped me. This isn't about checking boxes or chasing bucket lists. It's about sitting with a local family, learning their stories, and understanding what makes a place truly matter.
My Philosophy
Travel with Respect
Every place I visit has people who call it home. I believe in traveling in a way that honors their traditions, supports their communities, and leaves their lands better than I found them.
Go Deeper
Surface-level tourism misses the point. I seek out the stories behind the landmarks, the people behind the attractions, and the meaning behind the customs.
Write with Purpose
Every article on Flyinges.com is 1,600+ words of original research and personal experience. No AI-generated content. No sponsored placements. Just honest storytelling.
Places That Shaped Me
Iceland
Where I learned that nature is not something to conquer, but something to listen to.
Morocco
Where the medinas taught me that getting lost is often the best way to be found.
Japan
Where tradition and modernity dance together in perfect harmony.
