Welcome to TravelAlphabet – a travel blog by writer and world explorer Andrea Hendrikx, sharing personal adventures and practical advice for curious, independent travellers.

Originally from New Zealand and now based in Melbourne, Australia, Andrea caught the travel bug early — just three days after her 22nd birthday, she boarded a flight to London to begin her “big overseas adventure.” That first journey sparked a lifelong passion for discovering new places, cultures, and perspectives.

With more than 29 countries explored — many solo — Andrea combines a love of hiking, cultural immersion, and off-the-beaten-path adventures. TravelAlphabet is where she shares the stories, insights, and travel tips gained along the way.
