The Bucket List Mermaid

Author: Alexandra

Home / Alexandra
Meet the adventurous mermaid, Alexandra! Once an EMT and medical school student, she decided she wanted to help people live, rather than just survive. She traded her stethoscope for a mermaid tail, dedicating her life to helping fellow wanderers conquer their adventure bucket lists. Now, she lives full-time in an RV and swims around the world as a travel blogger and yoga instructor, sharing inspiring tales and must-visit destinations through traditional bucket lists, reviews, and guides.
