Welcome to Autism Adventures Abroad!

Founder Alex Stratikis is a leading autism travel & tourism expert for all your accessibility/DEI needs. It’s no secret that accessibility is not just a moral obligation that businesses and organizations should now be aligning themselves with, it is an undisputable business opportunity that should not go unnoticed.

What started as a simple travel blog has developed into so much more, with Autism Adventures Abroad now sitting firmly at the forefront of the autistic-led tourism space. Alex’s extensive firsthand experience as a autistic solo traveler paved the way to work with some of the biggest names in the tourism/accessibility sectors across the globe.

Autism Adventures Abroad offers a variety of services including writing, photography, guest appearances at events, workshops and conferences, educational programs, consultancy, workshops & training, as well as interviews, podcasts, travel correspondent and much more – all with the aim of nurturing a more inclusive tourism industry for both autistic travelers and businesses in the sector.

Hey everyone, Alex here! I made Autism Adventures Abroad with a twofold aim in mind: 

• To encourage young autistic adults to travel by sharing my personal journey, insights, hints , tips – as well as practical advice. Whilst also spotlighting examples of best practice in the travel, tourism, and hospitality sectors, in relation to initiatives developed to enable neurodivergent individuals to travel/visit with confidence that their needs will be met, and staff will be understanding and supportive. 

• To work with the travel, tourism, and hospitality sectors to advise and support them via consultancy work, workshops, talks, seminar and conference inputs and an ongoing series of blogs on the Autism Adventures Abroad website and guest articles in several travel and disability magazines, to review and improve their accessibility offering to attract and support neurodivergent adults – a huge untapped customer base. 

I work towards these aims through a range of activities and interventions. I write blogs about my experiences for my own website and for other people’s websites too, I also write articles for travel and disability magazines, participate in Q&A sessions, Facebook Live sessions and other events I have been invited to participate in. 

I also write reviews for tourist attractions, guest accommodation, transportation and other related travel and tourism experiences, writing from my own autistic perspective but also with a view to guiding businesses on what they are doing well and what can be improved. I also participate in invited events, such as accessibility reviews. 

I know I cannot speak for everyone who is autistic, we are as individual as every other person on this planet but, I hope whoever you are, you find my posts informative and enjoyable, and you get to know me and my autistic perspective of this amazing world we live in.
