I spent eight years collecting rooms in my head. Now I help you build them.
Thirty-something countries, one carry-on, and an incurable habit of rearranging other people's furniture in my imagination. Travel by Alex is where I translate the feeling of the places I've lived into rooms you can actually recreate — practically, and on any budget.
A timeline of travels
Quit a marketing job, sold most of what I owned, and booked a one-way ticket with a single carry-on.
Three years of slow mornings and tatami light — where I learned that empty space is a design choice, not a lack of one.
A whitewashed summer that taught me how much a single shade of blue can carry an entire room.
Riad courtyards, zellige tile, and the warmth of layered pattern done completely without fear.
A tiny sixth-floor flat — herringbone floors, tall windows, and the quiet art of editing what you own.
Came back for good, poured it all into rooms anyone can recreate, and started Travel by Alex.
Honest about how these rooms are made
Some of the interiors you see here are AI-assisted concept renders — visual sketches I use to show a feeling or a color story before a real photo exists. They're clearly part of the idea, not staged listings.
