Who am I?

A man stands at the summit of a mountain.

My name is Alan Palazon and I’m a travel blogger and photographer from South Wales in the UK.

Since the age of 19, my life has mostly revolved around travel and I’ve explored, lived and worked around the world. Some of my adventures include snowboarding in Canada, trekking in the Moroccan Sahara Desert, scuba diving in Panama and hiking volcanoes in Ecuador.

Travelling has been my passion for years, but it was only in 2023 that I started A World Over to share this passion and to help you explore the world more adventurously.

On my blog you’ll find comprehensive destination guides, savvy budget-travel advice based on my experiences and locals’ insights, and travel photography to inspire your next trip.

I focus on adventure and budget travel and always try to seek out destinations that are less visited. You’ll find some city guides here, but more than anything, I’m all about outdoor travel and activities such as hiking and exploring waterfalls.

My aim is to become a leading source of adventure-travel advice to make it easier for people like you who share my passion for this kind of travel to plan your trips.

A World Over is a community driven adventure-travel blog and I want to provide the best content possible. I welcome feedback on my content, especially from locals with insider knowledge and other travellers who’ve been to the places I document.

Thanks for visiting A World Over; I really hope you find my guides useful and that you’ll stick around for the journey.
