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!
Preface: There is A LOT that goes on during my travels that I don’t record on video, or show on social media. In fact, it usually seems like an entirely different experience from what I post, because I know I have to abide by the infamous algorithms, which is why I enjoy writing about what actually happens! During my solo adventure in Socotra, I had a lot of...
Socotra Island is an extremely remote, difficult, yet unique and beautiful destination, which many people don’t think to travel to. Therefore, there isn’t a lot of solid information or posts with travel tips to prepare you for a intense week there. The famous Dragon’s Blood Trees of Socotra that are only found on this island! I wasn’t aware of...
Dragon Blood Tree forest in Socotra Island – Copyright @mylifesatravelmovie Let me just start out by saying that Socotra Island is one of the most intense adventures I’ve had in my ten years of traveling solo, but absolutely worth it. This relatively small island has drastic and stunning landscapes, plus a lot of endemic plants, like the famous...
This year, 2024 will officially be my tenth year of traveling solo! I went on my first ever solo trip when I was 26, thinking I was “too old” to travel solo, but low and behold, I discovered a whole wide world, and I have been diligently exploring all of it ever since! There’s so many things I’ve learned, but here are my top ten, and hopefully...
Yes you read that correctly, I recently got engaged in Italy, to an amazing Sardinian man! Everything about this has seemed incredibly fateful and part of the universe’s plan for me, and it’s one of my favorite travel stories yet, so I decided to write it out! *I am working on an extended mini-book with more details but for now here’s our story: The...
Going to Lake Como in winter was honestly a very random decision. Especially since I am not a fan of cold weather. However I suddenly had also random plans to spend NYE in Switzerland, and my birthday was a few days later, so I thought it would be fab to spend it in Lake Como. Despite many people warning me that many things are closed in the winter, I went anyway...
I was told the gov is waiting for all of this to fall down on its own…and there was nothing preventing me or other toursits from walking on it! Recently I stumbled upon a bunch of abandoned beach resorts in Boracay that honestly creeped me out and confused the hell out of me. I hadn’t done any prior travel research or anything, so that probably added to...
Why no, I do not want a child traveling with me at the moment. I like my peace. Other people’s reproduction choices has been a hot topic for many people lately, so I’m going to keep posting about being voluntarily childfree and traveling to make sure everyone knows that you don’t have to give anyone a reason or explanation.. We’re living in a...
If Santa didn’t bring you that flight ticket to Germany this year, don’t worry, there are x Christmas Markets in USA that look like Europe! Whether you’re a huge fan of the holiday season, or simply just looking for a mini European-esque escape, or perhaps you just really love gluhwein like I do, you can plan a staycation to these cities to get your...
Preface: Welcome to another of my new “Travel Stories” section of my blog, where I write mini-books about what really goes on during my epic, endless solo travels around the world! Some of these stories just aren’t safe for social media, and most of them definitely require more space than a caption to explain! I also really love writing! Before I...
