by Alyssa Ramos Panama wasn’t on the top of my To-Go list, but a sudden offer to go to a country I’ve never been to before was obviously not going to get turned down! Aloft in Panama City was nice enough to host me for a few days, and even set up tours so I could see all that their beloved city has to offer! My initial stereotypical thoughts on Panama...
Every self-respecting city has a fountain at its core, but which ones make the biggest splash?

There was literally block after block of the most opulent architecture that boasted styles from the colonial and baroque...

There have been places (and moments) I’ve loved…and some serious travel fails that I’ve learned from. So in honor and in gratitude of the...

Unfortunately, most of them were learned from my own travel fails, but luckily at least now you can avoid them! Traveling to Cuba is different than many places because...
by Alyssa Ramos If you don’t already know what “Hablo español, pero muy poco” means, we’re in some real trouble. Luckily this is a little cheat sheet for you to take to Cuba, where NO ONE speaks English, or any other Spanish speaking country! Here are the phrases I used the most while I was there: Greetings/Intros “Hablo español, pero...
