by Alyssa Ramos Many people have asked me how I make money to travel as much as I do — usually noting that all it seems like I do is “blog”, and “blogging can’t be that lucrative, right?” Well, kind of, I actually only recently starting making (some) money from it, but the rest of the time, I write a crap load of content for other...
Trust me when I say that I've traveled solo enough to know every safety tip for traveling like a ninja, and staying out of harms way. Here's my top safety tips!
They say that traveling changes your life, and I’d definitely have to agree, because even when I’m home in LA, I find myself on a constant search for adventures and new things to try. Recently, one of those things was jetpacking, because, well, who doesn’t want to fly?! I scheduled a flight with Jetpack America on a sunny Wednesday afternoon, and...

You would think...
Heading to Iceland? The Southeast Coast of Iceland is a bit farther than the normal Iceland itineraries, but it’s SO WORTH IT, especially if you want to see Jökulsárlon glacier lagoon! If you’re worried about the distance, just keep in mind that not only did I do this roadtrip in a day (from and to Keflavik), but I also went straight from a red-eye flight...
Scariest part of my Iceland trip was venturing inside Rauðfeldar Canyon...a troll grave waterfall/ice cave with dead birds & a sunglass stealing troll.
by Alyssa Ramos I am convinced that everything in Iceland is magical, and that absolutely includes the pure bred Icelandic horses that you’ll see all throughout the country. As a huge horse fan, and female in general, I was instantly enchanted when I saw the various colored horses with long, wild manes almost everywhere I looked as I drove along the single-lane...
