Introducing on Treasure Sounds:
The Chill Fall Roadtrip Playlist By Alexandra Taylor
As the season slows, Treasure Sounds turns the volume down and the moments inward. This month, travel creator and marketing executive Alexandra Taylor shares her Chill Fall Roadtrip playlist, a soundtrack to embrace simplicity, reflection, and the small rituals that bring calm.
Splitting her time between New York and Hamburg, Alexandra finds balance through movement, morning Pilates, market strolls, and spontaneous weekend drives to nearby towns. Her playlist mirrors her rhythm: grounded, thoughtful, and quietly joyful.

Your name and the work you do?
Alexandra Taylor.
Beyond content creation, I’m a brand growth consultant and marketing executive, working with fashion, beauty, and hospitality brands to scale their businesses internationally. I split my time between NYC and Europe (currently based in Hamburg, Germany).
What do you spend most of your Sunday doing?
If I’m not traveling, I love getting up early, making coffee, and heading to the market for fresh flowers and ingredients for dinner. I’ll usually spend time reading, journaling, maybe taking a Pilates class or going for a long walk, just simple joys that help me reset for the week.
If I am traveling, I love a day road trip to a village or city I haven’t visited yet. Exploring farmer’s markets and local restaurants are always a highlight.
A morning run, gym session or yoga?
Usually a morning run or Pilates, depending on how I’m feeling that day.
Tell us about something in your life you’re most proud of?
I think at this point, I’m most proud of choosing to follow my intuition (that internal guiding light) and go out on my own. Changing course after building a decade-long career to pursue my passion wasn’t easy but it opened the door to opportunities I never would’ve had otherwise. While the challenges are real, the experiences and growth have been more than worth it.
What would you tell your 18 year old self?
You’ll feel like there’s only one path or one moment to get it all right. While hard work is essential, so is trusting yourself and being open to exploration. Try new things, be curious, and learn from the world around you. Life isn’t linear, and your path doesn’t have to be either.
Dreamed holiday?
As a part-time travel creator, I’ve been lucky to visit many beautiful places recently crossing off Torres del Paine in Chilean Patagonia, which had been a dream for nearly 10 years. That said, Japan is still at the top of my list.
How do you find a sense of calm in the midst of chaos?
I step back and remind myself how lucky I am to even have this form of chaos. I lean on my support system, family and friends, and turn to the small rituals that ground me: being by the ocean or sea, a good coffee, cooking, or a slow morning.
If you could be anything else in life what would you be?
A baker or a full-time novelist.
What’s something the world could care a little more about?
Empathy and truly respecting and embracing our differences.
What’s Your ideal Friday Night ritual?
Cooking for myself or friends, or a cozy dinner out. Then a walk through whatever city I’m in, dessert in bed, and a good nostalgic movie (especially if it’s autumn).
If you had 10 minutes to pack to your dream Destination… Where are you going and what are you packing?
I’m headed to Tokyo. I’m packing the Curva Jacket, Nevy Pants, Salle Bodysuit, and Vira Pants for two effortless and versatile looks.
