However, when asked about his perfect paradise for surfing she is clear: Australia . "There are many point breaks (places where the wave breaks when it hits a ledge on the coastline) with a precious aquatic clarity and a lot wild life to enjoy", she explains. And, although the country is at the top of her list, she does not forget to Sri Lanka and Mexico, who also score high.

She is going precisely to Mexico on her last trip.

The trio heads there in a beautiful vintage van of another of his friends (the good news is that you can also rent it), giving rise to a composition more typical of a clothing catalog that of a road trip: long hair in the wind, shapely bodies, designer smiles ... For her, however, things are quite normal: " I love traveling by van ; Before coming here, I took a trip with a couple of other friends around the Australian East Coast (of course she fell in love with Byron Bay). The power to stop wherever you want to surf or camp has something, something that turns those trips into mind blowing adventures "explains the young woman.

Nothing more? No, she doesn't need it: "Right now I am a perpetual nomad. I have my belongings in several different places, but I try live with as little as possible. The less you have, the less you need; It's amazing when you realize that it doesn't take much to lead a happy and wonderful life ".

In fact, it was her passion for the most abundant element on Earth, the sea, that led her to fall in love with surfing: "When she was in high school, one summer, I was a lifeguard. That meant having eyes fixed on the ocean or for nearly eight hours a day, every day. Finally, I started to take a board with me during the lunch break, and thus I took advantage that beautiful and aquatic playground that I had at my disposal for so much of the day," she recalls.

"As soon as I started I was hooked, and I started traveling to surf different types of waves. From my total respect and admiration for the ocean my passion for surfing grew, because I have never felt more calm and present than in the moment in which I am sliding on a wave ", Lex tells us to say goodbye to her, while she prepares for her next adventure with ad sunset included.
