Who is Backpacking Brunette?

Hi, I’m Alex Wittman! When it comes to having big adventures on a small budget, no one does it better than me. Five years ago, I moved to Spain with less than $1,000 to my name. I’ve been living abroad and traveling the world ever since.

From money to the downsides of expat life, you can always count on me to keep it real. I want to help you tackle your bucket list regardless of what’s in your bank account. You in?
