I’m Alexander Hayden.

I’ve been traveling full-time for the past ten years. Even as a kid, I grew up nomadic, constantly shifting between places, and ways of being. Wander and Tell is the continuation of that motion: a place to document what it means to live freely, simply, and deliberately.

Here, I write for those who crave freedom—not just from place, but from possessions, expectations, and even identity. What you will find here is a practical guidebook for attaining it.

My goal is to help point you to real, pragmatic methods for gaining freedom; methods that have worked for me.

I hope they work for you too. If they don’t, I hope you forgive me for wasting your time.
