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!
Samoa has been on my bucketlist for quite some time now, and I’m beyond fulfilled after finally traveling there! Chances are if you’re reading this you already know where it is and what’s mostly there, but for generality, I’ll start from the top! For starters, there are two “Samoa’s” and they’re separated by the International Date Line; one that’s it’s own...
If you’re looking for a true hidden gem and bucketlist destination, use my Samoa Islands key travel information to book this trip! Not to be confused with American Samoa which is just next door, independent Samoa is not Westernized, which allows it to retain its cultural charm.

Finding the cheapest healthcare isn’t easy. In fact, the cost of healthcare is increasing in many countries, and especially in the US, so finding free healthcare countries or even universal health care countries is a hard. Enter two magical words: travel and tourism. Well, I guess we can also throw in “expat”, and “digital nomad” now as...
Eeewwww how terrifying are the words “invest money” and “save”? No one wants to do that, yet everyone does want to travel, and the result is usually a bunch of people complaining that they have no money to travel. You can literally start an investment account from anywhere. Well, I am not one of those people, because I started saving all my...

The name Cook Islands is probably not the first that comes to mind when you think exotic island and beach vacation, but trust me, it is! I kept hearing more and more about these South Pacific islands, so decided to add them to my 2010 bucketlist of “Most Remote, Exotic, Cultural Islands in the World”, and wasn’t disappointed! For starters, this gorgeous island is...
If you’re looking for an exotic vacation destination that’s way more epic than the usual choices, check out Rarotonga in the Cook Islands!
