Hey, I'm Max
I'm from Melbourne and I travel off the beaten track. I've been to 39 countries so far and share my trips on Instagram and TikTok as @madlertravel.

A bit about me
I started @madlertravel in July 2025 to show people cheap trips to places most travellers skip.
What I travel for is the feeling of being somewhere new and a bit lost, like standing on the Ala-Kol pass at 3,900m on day four of a horse trek.
