Mini bio
A childhood on the move.
Lexie grew up in Nevada City, California, with a family that ran a travel agency. By 18, she had visited about 70 countries. In her Escapism interview, she says the idea to visit every country came two months into a backpacking trip after college.
The record that changed things.
Guinness records her final qualifying stop as Mozambique on October 4, 2019, at 21 years and 177 days. Its account counts 195 sovereign countries for the record. She shared her travels through Instagram and YouTube as Lexie Limitless, with an emphasis on what a young woman could experience traveling solo.
New ways to explore.
For Charge Around The Globe, she partnered with Ford to drive an electric Explorer across six continents and 27 countries. The journey finished in Nice on March 26, 2024, with RecordSetter certification. Her subsequent YouTube work includes local life in the Maldives, wildlife in Colombia and solo survival challenges in the Amazon and on a deserted island.
