I’m Alyssa Ramos, a full-time, self-made, solo traveler who’s been to over 85+ Countries, all 7 Continents, 7 World Wonders, 7 Wonders of Nature, plus I recently climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and dove the Great Barrier Reef!
I created this life of full-time traveling completely on my own, and my goal is to give you as much information and inspiration as possible to make travel happen for you too!
The number one question I’ve gotten about Project Expat is how to get a visa to live to Spain, so here is my complete Spain Long Term Visa Guide! This information is for people who are looking to move to Spain, or stay here for longer than the free 3 month tourist visa. Full disclosure, I was intending on just using the 3 month visa since I was planning on...
This post is just for fun since a lot of people ask what the symbols on my bucketlist tattoo mean! First and foremost; I had always wanted to get a tattoo that symbolized my first, most greatest bucketlist accomplishments, so these are all things I’ve ALREADY DONE, not that are waiting to get checked off! Second, the tattoo is extra meaningful because: A). I...
There are a lot of questions and discrepancies about the “New 7 Wonders of the World” list, probably because there are so many different lists! There’s the man-made wonders, natural wonders, city wonders, and more! This particular list is for the New 7 Man Made Wonders! Most people automatically say the Pyramids of GIza are one of the 7 World...
While we might not be able to travel at the moment, our plans for future trips are being made a lot easier (and cheaper!) by airlines offering discounts and waived fees for future travel RIGHT NOW. That’s right. It means you can book future trips with ease knowing that if you need to change the flight, there will be no change fee to do so. Not quite ready to...
As the coronavirus swept across the world turning our beloved landmarks and cities into eerily barren sites, the photographs people have of their empty cities are haunting to say the least. To see the Times Square or the Duomo in Milan completely devoid of human life is simply chilling. It sends a shiver down my spine in a way that only these post-apocalyptic vibes...
Let’s face it, Mother’s Day Gifts are likely all going to be getting sent this year due to the global lockdown of 2020. The good news is that pretty much anything can get quickly shipped these days, and thanks to the internet, you can get creative with Mother’s Day Gifts as well! For me, since I’m stuck in Barcelona and my mom is in Florida...
Maybe you had to cancel your family vacation since the lockdown started. Perhaps you have kids or siblings who are also dying to get back outside adventuring. Well, while we are all cooped up inside, why not have a family movie night to explore the world via Hollywood? From the French Polynesian Islands to the plains of Africa, these travel-related movies will have...
Wish you were here. And me too. Hold on to your floppy hats and grab your favorite drink, it’s time for the Eat, Pray, Love drinking game designed just for our travel girls currently staying at home during lockdown. If you’re heartbroken over having a trip cancelled due to the pandemic, you are not alone! Instead of wandering the cobblestone streets of...
WARNING!!! There is somewhat disturbing content and photos in this post from my actual accidents! It’s taken me almost two years to write about how traveling solo almost killed me four times…in a row…in less than two months. I’m sure you can understand why. It’s not exactly fun to talk about, and I still get short of breath when I do...
Although I’ve been posting on my Stories daily about what it’s like being an American in Spain during mandatory quarantine, I have to admit I make it look way more easy than it actually is. I try to keep the optimism and positivity high, but I can’t deny that it has been stressful and frustrating AF. Especially since my job and sanity rely on...
