Alexander Valverde

My name is Alexander Valverde, born in the wild, poetic beauty of England’s Lake District — a place where nature teaches you to listen long before you learn to speak.

But my life didn’t stay rooted in one place; it unfolded in ways I could never have scripted.

 

🌄 Living Off-Grid 

​

One of the most transformative chapters of my journey was living off-grid in the Portugal Mountains, surrounded by silence, weather, and wilderness.

Solar electricity.
No noise.
Just fire, stars, and the rhythm of the earth.

 

Living this way taught me:

• Simplicity is sacred

• Presence is a practice

• Healing happens when we strip life back to the essential

• Nature reveals who we are

 

It was both humbling and awakening — a remembering of something ancient within the human soul.

​

🌍 A Life of Travel and Exploration

​

I’ve travelled the world twice, exploring remote landscapes, diverse cultures, and the stories hidden in nature and people. These journeys broadened my understanding of humanity, spirituality, and the quiet beauty found in simplicity.

​

💼 Leadership & Business — From the Ground Up

 

My life also unfolded in the world of business, where I:

• Helped scale Superdry retail into a global brand

• Managed a department of 1,600 employees

• Worked across the hotel and restaurant industries

• Ran two successful Airbnb properties

 

These experiences taught me leadership, patience, humility, and how to stay grounded in highly demanding environments.

​

🎥 Television — Sharing the Journey

 

I appeared twice on Ben Fogle’s “New Lives in the Wild”, sharing my philosophy, off-grid living, and deeper approach to life with a global audience.

​

📸 Photography — Seeing Humanity and Nature Clearly

​

As an internationally published photographer, I seek to capture:

• Nature in its raw honesty

• People in their authentic essence

• The stillness between moments

Photography is how I tell stories without words.

​

🎓 Expertise, Healing, and Inner Work

​

Over the years, I’ve devoted myself to studying the human mind, body, and spirit.

 

My training includes:

• CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

• NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)

• Life Coaching

• Mentoring

• Herbalism

• International Massage Therapy

• Reiki & Energy Healing

• Humanism & Holistic Psychology

 

I also ran a spiritual and psychological healing centre for five years, guiding people through emotional release, personal transformation, and deeper inner understanding.

​

🍃 Spiritual Exploration — Wisdom From Many Paths

​

I have experienced and studied many of the world’s spiritual medicines, always with respect and grounded understanding. These teachings expanded my awareness of consciousness, healing, and the multidimensional nature of human experience.
