mylifesatraveltribe mylifesatravelmovie group trips

Welcome to the Travel Tribe community for extraordinary group trips and adventures around the world! It’s the new way to travel solo, and who wouldn’t want to join forces with other like-minded adventurers?

We are the original creators of “influencer-hosted group trips”, and have been hosting them for over 10 years now, on every continent, and in the most unique places!

All of our trips are designed to give you the ultimate experience, from adrenaline pumping activities, to cultural immersion, and making life long friends along the way! Essentially, everything you see me doing on social media, you’ll be doing right along with me in real life!

Our Travel Tribers have said they enjoy our trips because everything is completely handled by our team, so all they have to do is show up! They also say they love the mix of extreme adventures, luxury, and the opportunity to travel to destinations most people don’t go to!

#MyLifesATravelTribe is going into its 10th year now, with over 50 successful group trips, including Antarctica 4 times! Many of the travelers who have done trips with me have gone on to travel with each other or join several more of our group trips!


We are so grateful that our trips fill up quickly, but we have heard it can be difficult to get a spot for new comers since we offer the spots to repeat Travel Tribe Alum first! Therefore we do a poll and pre-sign ups to give everyone a little first-dibs before announcing on social media!

This poll also helps us decide which destinations to choose each year! So please only fill it out for trips you are 75% sure you’d book! We will send the people who sign up on this poll the announcement for the trip booking first, after our alum list!

Your subscription could not be saved. Please try again.

Read What Our Travelers Thought of Our Trips!

Important Things to Note About Our Group Trips!


  • All trips include 4+ star accommodation (unless otherwise noted), transport IN the country (international flights not included), most meals, entry to sites, a local guide, a welcome gift and our admin fees for coordinating and hosting the trips.

  • All spots are based on twin-sharing basis and you will be automatically matched with a roommate unless you know someone going and request them. Single occupancy options are subject to additional fees and availability.

  • Itineraries and accommodations are subject to change due to things like timing and availability (for example, if we don’t have enough time to do something because we spent too long on a previous activity, or if we end up booking more guests than a hotel has space for and we need to switch hotels). (This is very rare).

  • Our trips are mostly in difficult, rugged destinations, and involve extreme adventures. Please do not expect a luxury, hand-holding tour in Europe or USA! Our guides and hosts are not babysitters or butlers, please treat them with respect!

  • We have a STRICT no-drama policy! Please do not join our trips if you are the type to complain about small things, or talk badly about others or the tour if something doesn’t go exactly according to plan! Remember that this is REAL TRAVEL, and sometimes things happen! We depend on you to make the best out of any situation and keep a positive attitude!

All of our #MyLifesATravelTribe trips are through LOCAL tour companies in order to support the country we are in! We also only use companies that are eco-conscious and equality focused!

  • When he suspiciously asks why I didn’t answer the phone all day and I was literally scaling a mountain in Kosovo with my adventure bestie. 🧗‍♀️ 😁

I had no idea we were doing a Via Ferrata on our first day of the girls’ trip, and was actually scared, but it ended up being really fun!

If you’re up for an adventure, it’s in Peja, a beautiful mountain area! All of my travel tips are on my website, mylifesamovie.com !

  • Orca swimming in La Ventana, Mexico has been SUSPENDED indefinitely, but there’s more to it than you might think, so keep reading, or comment “orcas” and I’ll send you the full information about the update, future prospects, and these Sea Safari tours in general.

I know some people will automatically blame influencers for posting about swimming with orcas here (we’re used to it), but please keep in mind that many of us were posting the rules and regulations and urging people to be responsible and also that there was never an official “orca tour”, it’s always been a general Sea Safari, and seeing an orca is never guaranteed or promised.

Anyway, before the 1 year trial, there was allegedly complete chaos, with over 35 boats chasing pods and no regulations about how many boats can be near them at a time or how many swimmers and how long they could be in the water.

The trial period enforced those rules, limiting the number of boats and swimmers and how long each boat can be near the orcas. Many people listened, many did not. So that is now what the authorities are evaluating, to determine if they will continue to allow it or permanently ban it.

All of my posts had clear disclaimers about the rules and how to be a responsible traveler here, and I purposely required that people personally email me for info about the tour to make sure they understood the rules, including that there is no “orca tour” but most people still  specifically asked for that. 

In my opinion, after doing this experience, I don’t really think just anyone should be able to do it or run the tours…so many people just don’t listen or respect rules, and it is dangerous for the animals and themselves.

If they do allow it in the future I think it should be mandatory that a certified marine biologist is onboard most boats, that boats and captains have specific training and certifications, and that tourists have to pay an addition environmental fee so the gov can hire more people to monitor and enforce regulations. Also a smaller amount of spots allowed per day.

I don’t think observing orcas should be completely banned, otherwise people will just continue to go see them
  • Ferragosto is one of the biggest holidays in Italy, every year on August 15th! So definitely don’t come here that day unless you want to experience local celebrations in the form of beach or boat days, and massive feasts with lots of wine! 

Many people celebrate with family at home or at restaurants, so make reservations in advance, and wear your feast-fit 😮‍💨😬

Same applies for boat trip reservations and the beaches that require permits in advance!

This is my 3rd summer living in Sardinia and I put all the tips on my Sardinia Travel Guide on my website! Just comment “Sardinia” and I’ll send it to you!

((Transparency — I actually don’t recommend coming here in August at all because it’s the most hot and crowded month, but if that’s your vibe, you’ll love Ferragosto!))

Have you heard of this famous Italian holiday? Can you name any of the dishes in the vid? 😁

  • You cannot go within 15 feet of animals in Antarctica. But if THEY come up to you…well…what can you do?? 😬

I’ve been to Antarctica 4 times and this was a rare occasion when a penguin suddenly waddle-ran right up to me! It took a lot of willpower not to try and bend down to get closer, but I knew to just stay still and let it observe until it walked away!

Other animals you can see in Antarctica are humpbacks, leopard seals, and Orcas!

LMK if you have any questions about Antarctica!

  • My therapist said I’m a workaholic with ADHD and to find a hobby where I can’t use my phone or laptop that will also keep me captivated for hours, so behold! My new hobby of shark diving! 🦈💖

Unlike regular diving, snorkeling, or swimming, you must always be highly alert, ready to respond, and on the go if you want to try to keep up with them! 

The ultimate workaholic-ADHD-adventurer’s dream hobby, do you agree?

[DISCLAIMER] Yes sharks can be dangerous, but only when provoked or taunted with food. I have extensive experience around sharks and apex predators, and a degree in animal science, all of which I use to promote positive awareness and protection for sharks and other misunderstood animals! 

Happy Shark Week!

  • 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!
