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!

If you want to experience Dia de los Muertos in 2020 (or “Day of the Dead), Guadalajara, Mexico is definitely the place to do it! I’ve been trying to make it to Mexico for three years to participate in the festivities, and after finally getting to this year, I’d highly recommend it! In this post I’ll go over everything you could possibly need...
“What do you do about medical insurance if you’re nomadic?” It’s a question I’ve been asked numerous times, including by my own self. My answer is usually “I get travel insurance when I’m abroad, and I try not to do anything when I’m home”. And it’s because after getting in 4 serious accidents, 3 of which required hospital visits, I know better than to not...
There’s definitely an ongoing debate about what the best Thailand islands are for solo travelers (and travelers in general!). Not going to lie, when I first went to the southern Thailand islands four years ago, they were a lot different than they are now in 2019! For example, many of the Thailand islands tours have evolved to using speedboats that take more...
Fall is coming up quick (seriously tho, HOW?!) which means it’s time to announce the 10 best fall solo travel destinations in 2019! Fall is such a wonderful time of year. The air is cool and crisp, the leaves are a beautiful reddish-brown color and life slows down a little. It’s also the perfect time to travel cheaply! Peak travel season is over which...
For the last three years I’ve been hosting solo travel group trips after realizing a very good point! So many people want to travel but don’t have someone to go with. We know that already. So solo travel is usually the only option (other than not going, which is NOT an option), but what about the people who don’t want to go alone? After traveling solo myself for...

Whether it’s the jet lag, or not having enough hours in the day, getting sleep when you travel is something most of us worry about! Sleep is the secret ingredient to getting the most out of your travels. But we’re not talking about getting a little bit of sleep here and there (aka, the...
Recently in the Bahamas, Hurricane Dorian decided to stay put over islands for over 24 hours causing extreme damage. It took away many people’s homes, boats, and even lives. It has left the beautiful tropical islands in shambles. As a Florida native, and someone who can attest to the Bahamas being one of the most stunning chains of islands, I’d like to do...

Want to know one of the main ways I got away with traveling solo full time with just a carry-on? Easy. I just did laundry every week! I know that may sound a bit complicated. You may be wondering where you’d find a washer and dryer, or if it’s expensive to send laundry out. But there’s a more convenient nomad hack for doing laundry when you travel...
Only have one day in London but want to experience all the trendiest things to do? I’m talking quirky twists on typical staples like High Tea, and neighborhood hangouts only a local would know about. There’s been so many times when I only have had one day in London, and ended up doing the basic tourist things only. Well NOT THIS TIME! This time I did some...
