Oui, je suis jolie ET je voyage en solitaire

Alyssa Ramos

VOYAGE – J’entends déjà Regina George, de la comédie Lolita malgré moi, me rétorquer: “Ah, parce que tu te crois belle?” Sans oublier les commentaires -du type “Attendez, cette c*nne est vraiment en train de s’apitoyer sur son sort?”- que cet article va à coup sûr générer. Croyez-moi, j’ai entendu bien pire à mon sujet lors de mes voyages en solitaire.

On pourrait trouver louable qu’une jeune femme travaille dur pour se payer ses voyages et ose se balader seule à l’étranger. Mais non. Certains trouvent ça totalement incompréhensible.

Laissez-moi donc vous éclairer: je voyage seule parce que je ne vois pas pourquoi je ne le ferais pas. Je n’aime pas dépendre des autres pour voyager. Je ne sais toujours pas me servir de mes atouts pour acheter un billet d’avion en ligne et, même si bon nombre d’inconnus louches ont proposé de m’offrir le voyage, j’ai toujours décliné car je préfère être seule que jouer les potiches.

Alors, mettons les choses au point:

1. Non, je ne suis pas une pute

2015-07-23-1437688088-2736565-11704834_10106423856227473_2986301348940874480_n.jpg

Une jolie fille seule à l’étranger s’apparente presque automatiquement à une pute. Je ne plaisante pas. Si je me maquille, si on voit ma peau, si je mets un legging -ou, j’ose à peine le dire, si je suis en bikini-, je subis invariablement les regards lourds de sens de ceux qui s’attendent à me voir racoler mon prochain client.

C’est non seulement extrêmement gênant et agaçant, surtout quand ces regards s’accompagnent de ricanements et de murmures que je peux parfaitement entendre, mais aussi décevant dans la mesure où certains semblent incapables de concevoir qu’une “belle jeune fille” puisse partir seule, pour le simple plaisir de voyager!

Il y a quelques mois, j’ai rencontré un Allemand sur une plage à Cuba qui m’a confirmé que la plupart des gens pensent qu’une jolie fille voyageant seule ne peut être qu’une pute. D’ailleurs, il m’a dit que les habitants du coin l’avaient mis en garde contre “les jolies Cubaines qui parcourent les plages à la recherche de touristes avec lesquels discuter” et que ce phénomène existait dans presque tous les pays. Et on s’étonne que les femmes me regardent comme si j’allais leur voler leur mari!

2. Non, je ne cherche pas à me remettre d’une rupture

2015-07-23-1437688136-8230342-djabeach.JPG

Voyager en solo pour oublier une rupture douloureuse reste une idée de génie mais, contrairement à ce qu’on pourrait croire, ce n’est pas du tout pour cela que je le fais. Je ne m’attends pas à ce que les personnes que je croise soient au courant de ma situation amoureuse ou de ma passion pour les voyages, mais j’aimerais qu’elles évitent de penser que je suis seule parce que je viens de me séparer et que j’ai désespérément besoin de me changer les idées.

Oui, oui, je sais, pour la plupart des gens, à 27 ans, il faut penser sérieusement à se mettre en couple. Je tiens simplement à leur rappelle qu’on est en 2015! La seule chose dans laquelle je m’investis à l’heure actuelle, c’est mon voyage autour du monde, et je trouve que je me débrouille très bien toute seule.

3. Oui, je me suis payé mon voyage

2015-07-23-1437688213-7621613-G0360903.JPG

Des regards suspicieux à l’inévitable “Qui a pris la photo?” quand j’en publie une sur les réseaux sociaux, la question principale pour beaucoup de monde semble être de savoir qui a payé pour tout ça.

Alors, pour répondre à votre question: Salut! Je m’appelle Alyssa, j’ai un boulot comme vous, et je choisis de dépenser tout mon argent dans les voyages. Je ne me fais pas secrètement entretenir par un vieux plein aux as, je n’ai jamais demandé l’aide de mes parents ni lancé de campagne de crowdfunding ou gagné un concours. J’ai tout payé. Ce n’est pas parce que je suis une “jolie fille” que je suis incapable de gagner de l’argent et de l’économiser plutôt que de tout claquer en shopping. En fait, je dis toujours que je préfère m’acheter un billet d’avion plutôt qu’un sac, et je n’ai pas de problème à m’y tenir.

4. Oui, c’est à mon tour de vous juger

2015-07-23-1437688354-6956874-Escondido.jpg

À mes yeux, nous sommes tous égaux… jusqu’au moment où vous jugez utile de me faire part de vos commentaires désobligeants. Au début, je ne pensais rien de la tenue de randonnée criarde que vous portez pour escalader la moindre colline, encombrée de tous les accessoires dont vous ne vous servirez jamais, et puis j’ai remarqué votre air estomaqué et vos murmures au sujet de mon ensemble décontracté (je refuse de dépenser une fortune dans du Lycra). Désormais, c’est à mon tour de vous juger: vous n’êtes pas seulement un touriste, mais aussi un imbécile.

5. Vous me trouvez juste jolie? Pas de souci

2015-07-23-1437688047-4621484-bluelagoon.jpg

Je sais, je sais, j’ai l’air d’être une belle c*nnasse à me plaindre des gens qui me matent alors que je devrais “m’estimer heureuse d’avoir un corps pareil”. Mais c’est parce que je bosse dur pour payer mes voyages, sans jouer de mon physique avantageux, que je suis blessée d’être jugée sur mon apparence.

Mais bon, je suis une grande fille, et j’admets aussi que tout le monde n’est pas mal intentionné. Certaines personnes me trouvent juste jolie et c’est très gentil de leur part. Ils ont sans doute du mal à croire que je ne suis pas bête, que je peux être super marrante et que je suis responsable d’une organisation caritative, mais c’est toujours mieux que de passer pour une pute!

  • For all the queens and princesses who aren't getting that royal treatment they deserve at home -- go to Samarkand, Uzbekistan where you can dress up and feel like it at one of the most beaitiful places in the world!

Always remember though, you are the main person who can treat yourself like royalty, and you always should!

What do you do for yourself to feel like the "royal treatment"? For me it's little things like ordering bubbles on the plane even tho I'm in economy. 😁

Comment "queen" and ill DM you my full travel itinerary and tips for Uzbekistan, including how to book this photoshoot!
  • Don’t forget to vote today, preferably for kind, cultured, people with good-morals. 😁

Trust me, I do not want politics in my posts, but once again it seems like politics are always interrupting my travels, and I had to talk about this one!

I know I get judged a lot for what I do and wear…but when it’s by a representative from the U.S. gov who is in a country where I’m wearing the local fashion of, and they laugh and make a snarky remark to another minion, that’s where I have to call someone out. 

Overheard at the train station in Samarkand, Uzbekistan by a couple of my group trip guests, was “Look at that b*tch in pink” by a member of Rubio’s delegation who were there doing security checks for his upcoming visit.

The group of horribly dressed older men and one woman then had the joke on them when they were given a tour of a bazaar…where the local fashion I was wearing was prominently on display everywhere. 🫠

Just goes to show that if these Gov officials can talk badly about a U.S. citizen abroad, just imagine what they think of you all back home! 

So this is my response as a very proud “b*tch in pink”, and this whole situation is a great example of WHY I always purposely wear hot pink on my travels 🤗💖

PS stop starving your own people Marcocito!!!
  • Which of these is your travel type, and is it accurate with where you’d like to celebrate Dia de los Muertos in Mexico?

Save this for future trip planning!

This is my 10th-ish year living on/off in Mexico, and I’ve been very fortunate to get to experience Dia de los Muertos in a few different cities! But no matter where you go, the most important thing is that you remember and celebrate those who have passed!!!

You can find all the events happening by searching social for “city name + Dia de los muertos events” 💀😁

Or you can just wander around the barrios or cemeteries! Not joking, the cemeteries are all open and decorated, just be sure to pay your respects and not just go for photos…

Speaking of which, all photos of me are real locations, just with a little enhancement and graphics 😬

Are you celebrating your passed loved ones today? Where??
  • Anyone else have a bunch of random currency from various countries all over the place? What do you do with it all??

I started using a cheap coupon organizer to keep track of it all, especially since I repeat many of the countries I go to, and it has been so much easier that just a bug wad of colorful bills!

If I know I likely won’t return to a country, I usually give the cash away though, or keep a small bill as a souvenir!

Never would have guessed my fanciest most valuable wallet would be the $5 one that stores priceless memories from 155 countries! (Well I don’t have cash from all of them, maybe just 50, but still!)

What’s your most valuable priceless possession?

  • Sneaky fabulous way to see Registan Square in Samarkand before it opens: book this photoshoot!

((Comment Samarkand to get sent my full Uzbekistan travel guide plus the contact info for this photoshoot!))

Various colors, jewelry, and masculine costumes available as well! Cost is around $47 for the outfit, photos, and a video!

Highlight is definitely "flying" around Registan Square, and you really have to run to get those videos!! 😂

Would you do this or nah?

  • Questions literally no one has ever asked about making 'smores or likely at the Darvaza Gas Crater (AKA "Door to Hell") in Turkmenistan.

((Comment "crater" and ill send my full blog post about how to go here! I've been twice now,))

This is a massive crater that collapsed in the desert when people were drilling for natural resources decades ago. Someone thought it would be smart to light it on fire, and it has been burning non stop ever since...

Rumors are it will close down soon for the gov to sell the gas, so go see it while you can! Or join one of my group adventures there!
  • When life brings you to the Door to HɛIl, roast some marshmallows, throw a dance party with friends, strap your seat belt on tight, and HOLD ON for a wild ride out of there! ...both figuratively and literally.

This is the famous Darvaza Gas Crater in Turkmenkstan, Aka the "Door to Hɛll". I went here solo last year and then recently brought my Travel Tribe which was waayyyyyy more fun...perhaps too much fun!!

First of all, I've never seen people enjoy that minivan Mario Kart race through the barren desert before 😂 or thought anyone would be down for Turkmen beer roadies. 

Then the looks on all of their faces when we drove up to the gas crater at night made the journey not only worth it but priceless!

We then proceeded to have an aggressive game of UNO (a must on our adventures), too much Turkmen wine (that's similar to port) and a very uncomfortable sleepover in yurts with "Chanel" and "Versace" bedding. IYKYK.

Also, can't believe I found marshmallows there, or that one of the guides just lit a hole on fire to roast them, but the smell of gas was very unappetizing so they were not consumed (by me).

FYI everyone is still saying the Darvaza Crater will be extinguished soon so the gov can capture the gas to sell, so go see it while you can, if you're up for a truly wild adventure!!

More wild and weird stories from our 5 Stans Group Adventure coming soon! 🤪

Is this on your bucketlist??
  • Tajikistan is one of the 5 "Stans of Central Asia" and the one that most people looked at me with confusion when I list off the names of them!

But it's not surprising, since it only became an independent country in 1991 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Drop me a comment if you have questions about the geopolitics there today 😁

Traveling through Tajikistan felt like a truly unique and authentic experience, especially in the local markets and towns,  since not many American citizens venture there (so we were told).

The first thing we noticed in Panjakent was that the women all had super sparkly hijabs and clothing...so we went straight to the bazaar and bought the same! We got a lot of smiles and thumbs up after that!

We then explored the 7 Lakes of the Fann Mountains, getting there early before the day trip groups, and experiencing the lakes all to ourselves while avoiding traffic jams on cliffside roads that aren't for the feint of heart!

If you do the "5 Stans", definitely do more than a day trip to Tajikistan! 

And if you dont want to figure out the crazy logistics for all 5 yourself, sign up for our waiting list for the next ones with @mylifesatraveltribe
! 

BTW the kids are yelling "Tajikistan the best!" and permission was asked to make the video...even though they video-bommed me 😂💖
  • Samarkand the second time was even more magical! Since I went here last year, they’ve now started doing these “flying dress” photoshoots at Registan Square for around $67, which was definitely worth it!

Go super early (6:30-8) to avoid anyone in your photos AND to avoid annoying other travelers trying to take photos 😬

We also got a few group pics with the Travel Tribe! It’s definitely been extremely fun being here a second time with them!!
