26 Productive & Entertaining Things to Do While You Self Isolate in 2020

Whether you are forced to or choosing to self isolate right now, the most important thing is to keep yourself sane.

When they announced we were going under a mandatory two week quarantine in Spain, I slightly panicked. Anxiety started to rise within me as the feeling of being trapped sprung to the top of my mind.

But then I realized something! Whenever I’m not traveling, I typically spend two weeks binge-doing everything I need to do that I can’t while on the road!

So take it from someone who knows how to fill every hour of the day with productivity or entertainment! This list will keep you occupied, organized, and hopefully anxiety free!

1. Create a List of Goals

via GIPHY

Use this list if you’d like, or create your own! Lists are essential to productivity, and will make you feel great when you check things off! You can make one for the overall time you’re staying in, and/or ones for each day. I do both!

2. Limit the Amount of News You Watch

via GIPHY

In case you haven’t noticed, the news plays 24/7 and mostly on a loop. There’s not a ton of new stories, just the same ones over and over again which can induce stress and anxiety without you even realizing it.

Try to only check the news in the morning and maybe once in the evening for updates. Be sure to also watch or read from credible sources like the World Health Organization.

3. Deep Clean EVERYTHING

via GIPHY

If you’re going to be washing your hands ten times a day, you might want to make sure you don’t just re-germ yourself as soon as you touch something. Take a full day to deep clean and disinfect EVERYTHING!

From floors and counters, to even all of your clothing and shoes!!

4. Donate 1/3 of Your Closet

via GIPHY

While you’re at cleaning all your clothes, now is a good time to go through and get rid of some things! Play “Love it or Leave it” and try to get rid of at least 1/3 of your closet! Anything you haven’t wore in a year or two needs to go. Also anything that doesn’t fit anymore (no one likes to admit it but we all grow!).

Be sure to still clean the clothes you’re going to donate…just in case…

5. Spend 5 Minutes Each Morning Repeating a Positive Mantra

via GIPHY

Repeating positive mantras can boost your mood, spirits, and and amp you up for the day…even if it’s spent inside. Every morning, repeat a sentence or two that you want to remind yourself of. Here are a few examples:

“I am a strong, compassionate person. I will do great things to day.”

“Today is a new opportunity to better myself and do something amazing.”

“The universe is giving me an opportunity to do something new, I will take full advantage of it.”

“I have achieved great things, I have so much love, I am fortunate for what I have, and grateful for my life.”

6. Limit Binge-Scrolling on Social and Reading Negative Comments

via GIPHY

It’s no surprise that screen times have skyrocketed up 40% since the Stay Inside movement. But that doesn’t mean you should be constantly scrolling and ESPECIALLY not reading or partaking in negative comments.

I know it can be juicy or entertaining, but it can also rile you up inside and lead to anxiety and negative thoughts.

Also, if you are the type of person to look for things to combat-comment, you need to STOP. RIGHT. NOW. Nobody needs that right now!!! Including yourself!

7. Do Yoga in Your Living Room

Staying inside, sleeping a lot, and a general lack of movement can make your body super stiff. Clear out a space inside (or outside if you have it!) and do some yoga! It’s super easy to follow online classes and tutorials!

Luckily for me, my boyfriend is a yoga/meditation instructor, so we made a couple videos of routines you can do in small spaces! I’ll post these tomorrow!

Bonus points if you get the yoga-music and incense going!

8. Learn How to Dance with YouTube Tutorials

via GIPHY

Something I really wanted to do when we moved to Spain was learn Flamenco dancing. Now that we are stuck inside, I am doing YouTube dancing tutorials!

Take the extra time to learn a dance you’ve always wanted to know! Perks of doing it at home is you can dance like no one is watching!

9. Create a Quarantine Journal

via GIPHY

Sometimes it can do you good to reflect. Start a journal and document each thing you did during the days you’re home. Didn’t do much? Include some things (preferably positive) that are being reported about the situation and in the world!

10. Learn a New Skill or Technique

via GIPHY

Have you always wanted to learn a new job or life skill? Now is a great time to take advantage of the millions of blogs and courses that can teach you to do just that!

For example, I just launched a course on how to become a Pinterest Virtual Assistant, and also my Wanderlust Workers course which teaches you how to find and apply to freelance jobs!

11. Apply for Side Hustle Jobs

via GIPHY

Once you learn the techniques for becoming a free lancer, go ahead and fall into that rabbit-hole of browsing remote jobs online! There’s TONS of websites with job listings, and they all take A LOT of time to apply for!

12. Clean Out Your Email Inbox

via GIPHY

Something no one ever wants to do…but now you have plenty of time to! Even better than only deleting — make folders for the items your keeping, and set up labels for incoming mail so you don’t have to manually sort them every day.

13. Edit and Organize Photos

via GIPHY

Whether you take a million photos like I do, or have a box of old actual photographs. We all know that the piles of them stack up! Now is a great time to go through ones you want to keep to use, or just keep because…well who throws away photos?!

Pro tip: Google Photos allows unlimited photo storage! So if you put the app on your phone or desktop, it’ll automatically save everything, giving you room to free up space on your devices without feeling like you’ve lost them forever!

Want to up your editing game? I’ve got plenty of tutorials for you:

14. Write About Your Favorite Memories

via GIPHY

Whether you want to be a blogger, dream of writing your life story, or just enjoy reminiscing about good times; writing about it is a great way to do all of that!

Make a list of your favorite memories, grab some hot tea (or wine), and write away!

15. Play Games That Make You Think

via GIPHY

When all the shops closed before I could grab board games, I realized I had a plethora of them on my phone! AND I could play them with other people without coming in contact with them, which is both #socialdistancing goals, and great for not annoying my boyfriend!

Some of my favorites I’m currently playing:

  • Words with Friends (username “Alyssa is coolest”)
  • Trivia Crack (Username “Alyssa.r.ramos”)
  • HeadsUp ….has to be played with someone else, but extremely entertaining!

16. Read for One Hour Every Day

via GIPHY

We all say we “need to read more”. Now is your chance to do it! Even better, write short reviews for them to recommend to others!

17. Try a Completely New Cooking Recipe

via GIPHY

For those (like us) who have limited food options, try to have some fun with them! Have you ever tried Ramen lettuce wraps? WE HAVE.

The internet is your recipe heaven! Or get creative like we did!

18. Try the Trending Challenges on TikTok

via GIPHY

I was against TikTok at first, but I have to admit, it’s pretty entertaining. Not just the videos to watch, but challenges to try!

Some require you to learn a new dance or workout, and some will test your creativity and editing skills!

Follow me on TikTok: @mylifesatravelmovieREAL

19. Join Webinars or Online Video Classes

via GIPHY

Right now with many companies and people working from home, the amount of free (and paid) webinars and online classes is increasing!

Many social media scheduling platforms like Tailwind and Later are offering free webinars on how to continue creating content when you are confined to home.

In person class teachers are also switching to video classes — like my boyfriend who is doing his meditation classes via Zoom!

20. Practice Learning a New Language

via GIPHY

Have you been meaning to brush up on your Spanish or French skills? Maybe you want to attempt Mandarin or Arabic?

Download either a free app like DuoLingo, or professional course like Rosetta Stone (they have a SALE going on now!) and dedicate one hour per day to practicing!

21. Facetime Friends and Loved Ones

via GIPHY

How many times have you said, “Shit I forgot to call Auntie Florence AGAIN!” Now is the time to catch up with loved ones and friends who you tend to forget about thanks to your typically chaotic schedule!

22. Give Yourself an At-Home Spa Day

via GIPHY

Tell Alexa to “Play Spa Music”, turn the shower on hot, spray your favorite aromatherapy, and let the steam and zen transport you elsewhere. Give yourself a mani/pedi, do a facemask, or even make your own with kitchen ingredients!

Here’s an easy one for a scrub:

  • Boil half a cup of green tea
  • Add sugar until it has a gritty consistency
  • Add enough honey to make it stick together
  • Apply in circular motions to face!

23. Do a 10 Minute Meditation Before Bed

via GIPHY

I listen to Sleep Music on the meditation app Insight Timer every single night. It puts me to sleep right away without fail! It also has tons of short to long meditations you can follow.

I love meditation apps because you literally just have to listen and follow along with the recordings. It’s so easy and makes you feel so good afterwards!

Other popular meditation apps are HeadSpace and Meditate.

24. Pretend You’re in a Fancy Restaurant

via GIPHY

Our one year anniversary was on the day we were told by police we had to stay inside…we had plans to at least have a picnic somewhere outside since restaurants were closed, but we weren’t even able to do that.

So instead, we bought groceries, and make a nice dinner, set the table with candlelight and flowers, and dressed up in the fanciest clothes we brought.

Why not turn your dining room into a fine-dining restaurant?!

25. Start Watching a New Show or Movie

via GIPHY

I wouldn’t say this is productive at all, mostly just entertaining. If you want to be productive I’d suggest searching documentaries!

But if you want entertainment, here’s a list of all the movies and shows people suggested from Instagram:

You, Bloodline, 100 Humans, Hunter, Prison Break, Money Heist, Quarantine, Coco, The Stranger, 4 Weddings and a Funeral, The Office, Hot Date, Cheer, Dirty Money, Rupauls Drag Race, Altered Carbon, Hustle, Jungle, Dolemyte, Grace and Frankie, Black Mirror, Schitts Creek, The Crown, Power, Lock and Key, Avengers, Dirty John, Prisoners, Elite, Society, The Circle, Pandemic, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Jumanji, The 100, Sex Education, Ozarks, Love Sick, Kingdom, Messiah, Toy Boy, What/If, Jane the Virgin, Epidemic, Crash Landing on You, Outlander, Don’t F*ck With Cats, Mrs. Maisel, Narcos, Casa de Papel (Spanish)

MY Favorites: (warning, I love Rom-Coms, silly movies, destination movies, etc.) Outlander, You, Grace and Frankie, What/If, Family Guy, Locke and Key, Dynasty, Burlesque, Good Girls

26. Make a List of Life Goals

via GIPHY

Now more than ever is a great time to make a list of future life goals. Whether it’s things you want to improve on, things you’ve always wanted to do, places you always wanted to go, or a game plan for getting back on your feet when this is all over. Write. It. Down.

I’m a strong believe in manifesting your destiny. The more you write it down and talk about it, the more likely you are to do it, and make it happen. Plus it’ll be a great reminder when you get back into your daily grind and forget about all those big dreams you usually don’t have time to think about!

Hope you all have enjoyed this post! I had a lot of fun making it from my “Casa Quarantina” in Barcelona!

Alyssa Ramos is one of the first original travel blogger/influencers who helped normalize solo female travel. She’s been to 146 countries so far, plus Antarctica 4x, and all of her tips are on this blog!

One of the World’s Most Traveled Women 146 countries (solo, so far) • 7 Continents Expert • Activist • Entrepreneur GroupTrips: @mylifesatraveltribe
  • Before the term “influencer” or “content creator” existed, I was one of the original travel bloggers, unknowingly helping pioneer what is now a multibillion dollar Creator Industry.

I helped transform solo female travel from taboo to trendy, and taught thousands of people how to work remotely and build a brand.

I’ve done so much more than just create content, although hardly anyone sees the behind the scenes. And it’s been 14 years that I’ve owned the title of travel bloggers/influencer so…

Allow me to re-introduce myself.

I am Alyssa Ramos, the founder of My Life’s a Travel Movie brand, one of the very first travel “influencers” and one of the pioneers of the creator industry, of normalizing solo female travel today, of influencer-hosted group trips, and of getting paid to travel via social media!

I started my blog in 2012, then started using social media to promote it in 2014, earning me the title of “influencer”but what was never fully seen was the entrepreneur behind it who helped create an entire new industry with no money and when hardly anyone believed it would work.

Soon after I became one of the first travel blogger/influencers to make a full time living from it, I was asked to speak at conferences, interviewed in the press, and I was one of the very first people to make the courses about how it’s done (they didn’t exist when I started!)

I had a big dream to get paid to travel the world, and to normalize solo female travel, and once I succeeded, I kept going.

Today I am not only a travel influencer, but also a humanitarian, animal activist, a trailblazer, an author, speaker, writer, entrepreneur and…one of the most experienced solo female travelers in the world.

So far I’ve been to over 150 countries (off the 197 list), all 7 continents (Antarctica 4x), and I average 20 countries per year.

Now I’m going bigger. I’m launching a travel show, more speaker events, writing another book, and I’ve started the Travel Tribe Foundation to give back through my group trips.

Thank you everyone who has been here with me for so long, and welcome to anyone new!

  • I thought I was going to shipwreck trying to get to an existing shipwreck in the Solomon Islands…and I was traveling solo with just a fisherman driving me on his small boat. 😳

But! We made it, even with a massive storm approaching, and I experienced one of the most incredible “my life’s a travel movie” moments in my 12 years of continuous solo traveling!!

I truly felt like I was in a movie! The ship is an old cruise ship that hit rocks and slowly sank as it washed ashore on Roderick’s Bay. It’s only half sunk, so you can swim around it (it’s super creepy and dangerous, don’t do it alone), and since it’s completely unregulated, you can also climb it and zip line into the water (also dangerous, can’t recommend)

The angle of the ship also created one of the most vibrant marine sanctuaries I’ve seen in a while, with lots of actual colorful coral and fish (including clown fish!)

I went to Solomon Islands after my second trip to Papua New Guinea, on my quest to slow solo travel to every country in the world.

Would I go back to the shipwreck? Probably not. That boat ride was terrifying. But I’d go back to see more of the islands in the Solomon’s, there’s so many!

Would you brave the ride to get to this shipwreck?

For any fellow extreme adventurers, my Solomon Islands travel tips and itinerary is on my website linked in bio!

  • D. R. Congo and Silverback Gorillas both have reputations for being extremely dangerous, and that’s true, to an extent. But hear me out.

First a disclaimer: I am one of the most experienced solo female travelers in the world, and I also have a degree in Animal Science plus extensive experience with wild animals. All of my animal encounters are ethical, researched, and done with professionals. My goal is to promote responsible animal tourism that actually benefits and protects the animals, Don’t try to do any of them on your own!

Ok so the Mountain Gorillas! Yes, they can be extremely dangerous! However, many of them have been socialized, and are therefore accepting of human visitors (and very curious)

Gorilla trekking tourism is what protects these beautiful animals, because it generates more money to have them alive, so it forces the govs and other orgs to implement strict rules and anti-poaching efforts!

In fact, these gorillas were almost poached to extinction before trekking became popular, and now most of the trackers (people paid to find the gorillas to trek to) are former poachers! 

I’ve gone gorilla trekking 5 times and it’s always a safe and beautiful experience (the trek is difficult though and can be up to 8 hours through thick jungle)

Now about D.R. Congo…. Shortly after my first solo travels there, Virunga National Park closed and remains closed due to armed conflict with rebel groups..:

I still went to visit Goma several more times, and I truly love Congo, but I will be waiting with anticipation for the safety to increase, because the gorillas in DRC were my top favorite see! 

For more info on DRC or the other 150 countries I’ve traveled solo to, please check out my blog linked in bio!

  • I have a “bucketlist tattoo” that I add to when I complete a major bucketlist check! This one was a double check: seeing a wild Polar Bear and reaching my farthest latitude north (so far): 82 degrees North!

For reference, the geographic North Pole is at 90 degrees North, so we were very close to it! Maybe one day I’ll reach it!

There’s only one tattoo shop in Longyearbyen, therefore it’s officially the northernmost tattoo shop! And I also have tattoos from the Southernmost tattoo shop in Ushuaia for my 4 trips to Antarctica!

Anyone else have cool tattoos?

  • This is my 3rd year being an American living on a vineyard in Italy (married the owner!) and I def have a lot of tea/wine to spill about it 😂

People have this dreamy or glamorous “Emily in Rome”-esque idea about traveling to Italy, falling in love, preferably with someone who owns a vineyard, and living happily ever after…well I did that, and it can be a bit more “difficile vita” than “dolce vita” at times!

Shall I give the full interview for the “real Netflix documentary about an American living in Italy”?? 😂
  • I’ve swam with Orcas, a crocodile, and my for-fun hobby is shark diving, but I draw the line at poisonous swimming snakes. 🙅‍♀️🐍 It really just came up to me like that when I was sitting on the beach on an island in New Caledonia! 

I had been contemplating going swimming with the turtles nearby, but changed my mind after I saw this!

This was a “Blake-banded Sea Krait”, common to this area in the South Pacific Islands, I’ve heard several divers say they’ve seen them! But no thanks, I prefer sharks. 😂

Animal safety tip: as an experienced animal encounteress, i never ever suggest provoking or trying to “fight off” any dangerous animal that isn’t actively trying to attack you. Stay calm and still and let it pass like I did in this video. Then, feel free to run. (Jk I’d still suggest carefully and slowly backing a way, keeping an eye on it).

What would you do if you saw a swimming snake?!

  • I’ve stayed at over 500 hotels in my 12 years of traveling to around 20 countries per year, here’s 20 that absolutely blew my mind and I cannot forget!!

Swipe to see each caption for the name and location of these beauties (and some just bizarre!)

I have a full list with links of the hotels here and ones I’ve posted about, linked on my bio! Please use those links if you book these places bc most don’t pay me to give this free publicity so the way I can monetize is using the links, it costs you nothing, and helps me a lot, thanks!! 😁😁😁

The currently viral @shebara resort in Saudi Arabia with UFO looking over-water bungalows! Costs around $2-4k per night and doesn’t include the transfer to get to the island…

Check out my Shebara blog post for full details!

Probably the most bizarre hotel I’ve ever stayed at is this one in Turkmenistan. It’s known as “the wedding hotel” bc it’s where most people have their receptions, but the ground floor wing behind me is open for tourists….except, I was the only one there and it seemed like it had been empty for a while..

You can’t book hotels on your own in Turkmenistan, you have to take a tour and have a letter of invitation. Full blog post with that info too.

I’m scheduled to return to Turkmenistan in October and also next year with @mylifesatraveltribe (sold out though, join the waitlist!)

I never would have guessed I’d end up living on a vineyard and recalling @pacheca.group The Wine House as inspo for a future rental project!!

These wine barrel rooms are in Portugal. Who thinks I should try to build some on our vineyard in Sardinia Italy?

One of the bougiest hotel experiences is at @anantaramaiaseychelles ! The villas are beautiful but it was the 24/7 butler service that I can’t forget!

The Seychelles was my 100th country, and they brought me enough wine bottles to write out the number in my private jacuzzi!

One of my all time favorites is @tulia_zanzibar 😻 it’s one of the most beautiful, thoughtfully designed, sustainable resorts I’ve experienced, AND it has a water slide!

Scotland surprised me a lot with its incredible hotel options! Namely, all of the castles! There’s so many of them!!!

  • Yes, that is a real, wild Crocodile. Yes, I swam with him (several times) Would you dare?

This is Panchito the Crocodile, he lives alone in Casa Cenote which is close to Tulum. Crocs are not commonly found in cenotes (pronounced “seh-note-ay” and are deep fresh water reserves throughout the Yucatán peninsula ) and no one is really sure how he got there.

Panchito is allegedly “friendly”, but it’s more like “unbothered until provoked”.

Recently for the first time ever Panchito attacked a swimmer because some unintelligent people were throwing rocks at him to try to provoke a reaction for a video 😡

Even this last time when I was there, while I was freediving in the cenote, other tourists were loud and slashing at Panchito, causing him to interrupt his tanning session, jump into the water, and dive under the mangroves until the people were gone (I watched all of it and was honestly a bit scared when he came swimming towards me underwater).

Anyway! If you want a unique wildlife experience, check out Casa Cenote but do not disturb Panchito!!! Or any wildlife! Animal karma is real!

I live in Tulum half-time and have lots of posts and tips about it and also this cenote, all on my website along with tips for over 140 countries - MyLifesAMovie.com

For any fellow extreme adventurers, my Solomon Islands travel tips and itinerary is on my website linked in bio! ———————- For anyone new here: Hi!

D. R. Congo and Silverback Gorillas both have reputations for being extremely dangerous, and that’s true, to an extent. But hear me out. First a disclaimer: I am one of the most experienced solo female travelers in the world, and I also have a degree in Animal Science plus extensive experience with wild animals. All of my animal encounters are ethical, researched, and done with professionals. My goal is to promote responsible animal tourism that actually benefits and protects the animals, Don’t try to do any of them on your own! Ok so the Mountain Gorillas! Yes, they can be extremely dangerous! However, many of them have been socialized, and are therefore accepting of human visitors (and very curious) Gorilla trekking tourism is what protects these beautiful animals, because it generates more money to have them alive, so it forces the govs and other orgs to implement strict rules and anti-poaching efforts! In fact, these gorillas were almost poached to extinction before trekking became popular, and now most of the trackers (people paid to find the gorillas to trek to) are former poachers! I’ve gone gorilla trekking 5 times and it’s always a safe and beautiful experience (the trek is difficult though and can be up to 8 hours through thick jungle) Now about D.R. Congo…. Shortly after my first solo travels there, Virunga National Park closed and remains closed due to armed conflict with rebel groups..: I still went to visit Goma several more times, and I truly love Congo, but I will be waiting with anticipation for the safety to increase, because the gorillas in DRC were my top favorite see! For more info on DRC or the other 150 countries I’ve traveled solo to, please check out my blog linked in bio! ———- Please follow me @mylifesatravelmovie for more extreme adventures with purpose 💖 #alyssaramostravels #mylifeisatravelmovie #mylifeisatravelmovie

I have a “bucketlist tattoo” that I add to when I complete a major bucketlist check! This one was a double check: seeing a wild Polar Bear and reaching my farthest latitude north (so far): 82 degrees North! For reference, the geographic North Pole is at 90 degrees North, so we were very close to it! Maybe one day I’ll reach it! There’s only one tattoo shop in Longyearbyen, therefore it’s officially the northernmost tattoo shop! And I also have tattoos from the Southernmost tattoo shop in Ushuaia for my 4 trips to Antarctica! Anyone else have cool tattoos? ——————- For anyone new here: Hi!

This is my 3rd year being an American living on a vineyard in Italy (married the owner!) and I def have a lot of tea/wine to spill about it 😂 People have this dreamy or glamorous “Emily in Rome”-esque idea about traveling to Italy, falling in love, preferably with someone who owns a vineyard, and living happily ever after…well I did that, and it can be a bit more “difficile vita” than “dolce vita” at times! Shall I give the full interview for the “real Netflix documentary about an American living in Italy”?? 😂

I’ve swam with Orcas, a crocodile, and my for-fun hobby is shark diving, but I draw the line at poisonous swimming snakes. 🙅‍♀️🐍 It really just came up to me like that when I was sitting on the beach on an island in New Caledonia! I had been contemplating going swimming with the turtles nearby, but changed my mind after I saw this! This was a “Blake-banded Sea Krait”, common to this area in the South Pacific Islands, I’ve heard several divers say they’ve seen them! But no thanks, I prefer sharks. 😂 Animal safety tip: as an experienced animal encounteress, i never ever suggest provoking or trying to “fight off” any dangerous animal that isn’t actively trying to attack you. Stay calm and still and let it pass like I did in this video. Then, feel free to run. (Jk I’d still suggest carefully and slowly backing a way, keeping an eye on it). What would you do if you saw a swimming snake?! —————— For anyone new here: Hi!

I’ve stayed at over 500 hotels in my 12 years of traveling to around 20 countries per year, here’s 20 that absolutely blew my mind and I cannot forget!!

Swipe to see each caption for the name and location of these beauties (and some just bizarre!)

I have a full list with links of the hotels here and ones I’ve posted about, linked on my bio! Please use those links if you book these places bc most don’t pay me to give this free publicity so the way I can monetize is using the links, it costs you nothing, and helps me a lot, thanks!! 😁😁😁

The currently viral @shebara resort in Saudi Arabia with UFO looking over-water bungalows! Costs around $2-4k per night and doesn’t include the transfer to get to the island…

Check out my Shebara blog post for full details!

Probably the most bizarre hotel I’ve ever stayed at is this one in Turkmenistan. It’s known as “the wedding hotel” bc it’s where most people have their receptions, but the ground floor wing behind me is open for tourists….except, I was the only one there and it seemed like it had been empty for a while..

You can’t book hotels on your own in Turkmenistan, you have to take a tour and have a letter of invitation. Full blog post with that info too.

I’m scheduled to return to Turkmenistan in October and also next year with @mylifesatraveltribe (sold out though, join the waitlist!)

I never would have guessed I’d end up living on a vineyard and recalling @pacheca.group The Wine House as inspo for a future rental project!!

These wine barrel rooms are in Portugal. Who thinks I should try to build some on our vineyard in Sardinia Italy?

One of the bougiest hotel experiences is at @anantaramaiaseychelles ! The villas are beautiful but it was the 24/7 butler service that I can’t forget!

The Seychelles was my 100th country, and they brought me enough wine bottles to write out the number in my private jacuzzi!

One of my all time favorites is @tulia_zanzibar 😻 it’s one of the most beautiful, thoughtfully designed, sustainable resorts I’ve experienced, AND it has a water slide!

Scotland surprised me a lot with its incredible hotel options! Namely, all of the castles! There’s so many of them!!!

The currently viral @shebara resort in Saudi Arabia with UFO looking over-water bungalows! Costs around $2-4k per night and doesn’t include the transfer to get to the island…

Check out my Shebara blog post for full details!

Probably the most bizarre hotel I’ve ever stayed at is this one in Turkmenistan. It’s known as “the wedding hotel” bc it’s where most people have their receptions, but the ground floor wing behind me is open for tourists….except, I was the only one there and it seemed like it had been empty for a while..

You can’t book hotels on your own in Turkmenistan, you have to take a tour and have a letter of invitation. Full blog post with that info too.

I’m scheduled to return to Turkmenistan in October and also next year with @mylifesatraveltribe (sold out though, join the waitlist!)

I never would have guessed I’d end up living on a vineyard and recalling @pacheca.group The Wine House as inspo for a future rental project!!

These wine barrel rooms are in Portugal. Who thinks I should try to build some on our vineyard in Sardinia Italy?

One of the bougiest hotel experiences is at @anantaramaiaseychelles ! The villas are beautiful but it was the 24/7 butler service that I can’t forget!

The Seychelles was my 100th country, and they brought me enough wine bottles to write out the number in my private jacuzzi!

One of my all time favorites is @tulia_zanzibar 😻 it’s one of the most beautiful, thoughtfully designed, sustainable resorts I’ve experienced, AND it has a water slide!

Scotland surprised me a lot with its incredible hotel options! Namely, all of the castles! There’s so many of them!!!

I’ve stayed at over 500 hotels in my 12 years of traveling to around 20 countries per year, here’s 20 that absolutely blew my mind and I cannot forget!!

Yes, that is a real, wild Crocodile. Yes, I swam with him (several times) Would you dare? This is Panchito the Crocodile, he lives alone in Casa Cenote which is close to Tulum. Crocs are not commonly found in cenotes (pronounced “seh-note-ay” and are deep fresh water reserves throughout the Yucatán peninsula ) and no one is really sure how he got there. Panchito is allegedly “friendly”, but it’s more like “unbothered until provoked”. Recently for the first time ever Panchito attacked a swimmer because some unintelligent people were throwing rocks at him to try to provoke a reaction for a video 😡 Even this last time when I was there, while I was freediving in the cenote, other tourists were loud and slashing at Panchito, causing him to interrupt his tanning session, jump into the water, and dive under the mangroves until the people were gone (I watched all of it and was honestly a bit scared when he came swimming towards me underwater). Anyway! If you want a unique wildlife experience, check out Casa Cenote but do not disturb Panchito!!! Or any wildlife! Animal karma is real! I live in Tulum half-time and have lots of posts and tips about it and also this cenote, all on my website along with tips for over 140 countries - MyLifesAMovie.com ————————— For anyone new here: Hi! I’m Alyssa Ramos of @mylifesatravelmovie - one of the most traveled and most experienced solo travel women in the world! I’ve been to 146 countries so far over 12 years, and love rare destinations and animals! My goal is to inspire you to travel off the typical path and to shatter negative stereotypes about “dangerous” destinations. Follow me for expert tips and inspiration!
