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!
Travel and photos go hand in hand. After all, photos help keep the memories of your travels alive, plus there’s this thing called Instagram. Whether you’re traveling solo or with a group, you can usually get some pretty epic photographs on your own. All you need is some practice and some excellent travel photography gear! But sometimes you need someone else to take...
Mauritius is a beautiful island off the east coast of southern Africa that definitely needs to be on your bucketlist! I chose to visit it as part of my 2019 bucketlist quest to see the World’s best, and wasn’t disappointed! The scenery is similar to a mini-Hawaii, with lush mountains and a few waterfalls, plus endless clear blue beaches.The people are friendly...
Taipei is an amazing city that reminds me of a mini-version of Tokyo, but I knew there was much more to see in Taiwan than its capital city. I also knew that since it’s an island, there had to be some nature to see instead of just buildings! So I did some research, and found a private tour that would take me up to the Northern Coast of Taiwan where there’s tons of...
Taipei had been on my “To-Go List” for a really long time, and I’m so glad I finally went! I’d heard nothing but great things from people, between the amazing food at the night markets, to the unique cultural towns on the outskirts! I only had a couple of days in Taipei because I was squeezing it in before heading back to the US from the Philippines (slight detour)...
Accomodation is one of the biggest costs people have while traveling. Of course, part of the fun of travel is actually saving for all the things you’ll need while traveling. It gives you something to look forward to, right?! But at the same time, spending a large portion of your travel funds on accomodation is not ideal. Did you know, however, that there is a way for...
Madagascar Day 6: Leaving Mikea and Learning More About Sapphire Sales Mikea Lodge, Madagascar Our stay in Mikea was short but oh so sweet! To be completely honest, I didn’t sleep much because my lucid dreaming was out of control due to the constant stimuli inside the tent, but the daytime experiences were worth it. (That was random of me to say but it means...
Before I start with my recap of our fourth and fifth day in Madagascar, I just want to say that I know my writing formatting is way off on these posts. I never write this long of titles or sentences (at least try not to), so apologies if the content has been somewhat hard to read! Moving right along! Here’s the main highlight days of the tour that Wau...
We woke up in Ambalavao, Madagascar at 6am to stunning views of textured mountains aglow with golden light from the rising sun. It was like getting presents on Christmas morning since we couldn’t see what was around us when we arrived at night! After a quick but delicious continental breakfast at the lodge complete with Citronelle tea, we set off for another 10 hour...
Madagascar has been at the top of my bucketlist for years now. I’m not going to lie, it mostly claimed a spot due to my obsession with the cartoon movie Madagascar, but after doing more research, I came up with a lot of better reasons as well! For me, I wanted to travel to Madagascar because of its rareness and ruggedness. I knew fully well that it would require a...
Continuing on with my 2019 bucketlist of traveling to some of the World’s most rare and unique islands, was a trip to Bazaruto archipelago off the coast of Mozambique in Africa. Initially I added this destination to my island bucketlist because I really wanted to see what I call the “Mashed Potato Sands” that swirl along the bright blue shore in certain areas, but...
