Is solo travel on your New Year’s resolution list for 2020? Not sure where to start? Look no further! Here’s a mega list of the 20 best solo travel destinations in 2020!

Whether you’re looking for nature, adventure, or kicking it in big cities, keep reading for some awesome ideas for the hottest places to travel solo to around the world in 2020!

Solo Travel Destination 1: Tokyo, Japan

Despite being such a huge city, Tokyo isn’t so overwhelming when you’re traveling solo. It’s easy to not feel alone when you’re totally immersed in a vibrant and buzzing city. There’s a lot to see, but even if you’re short on time, it’s totally worth it!

Tokyo has the best to offer when it comes to nightlife and eating out alone is never awkward. Be sure to check out cute restaurants like Ichiran, where you can eat all the ramen your heart desires, behind a curtain! 

Not to worry, getting around Tokyo on public transit is super easy. Check out this guide on planning a Tokyo Self-Tour by Train.

Another main reason why Tokyo is one of the best solo travel destinations in 2020 is because of how polite everyone is! No one stares and people are more than willing to help you if needed!

Solo Travel Destination 2: Malta

best islands for solo travelers malta

Malta is an adorable little European island near Italy that is highly overlooked! It actually won one of Alyssa’s World’s Best Islands awards for Best Solo Travel Destinations, so we’re adding it here as well!

The island is small enough to navigate on your own by rental car or local buses. You can explore the cute cobblestone towns, or relax all day at the stunning Blue Lagoon featured in the photo above!

If you’re looking for a tropical yet charming solo travel adventure, definitely add Malta to your list!

Solo Travel Destination 3: Ubud, Bali

If you’re looking to ball on a budget while traveling solo, look no further than Bali, Indonesia! PRO TIP: way less expensive to stay in Ubud than nearby Seminyak and less crowded. 

Be sure to get all of your Instagram pictures at these spots! And, if you’re willing to take the road less traveled, Flores Island is perfect for exploring and taking cute pics with Komodo Dragons! 

Solo Travel Destination 4: Antarctica 

If you’re looking to experience Happy Feet in real life, look no further than Antarctica! Alyssa took a 10-day journey to Antarctica from Buenos Aires with Quark Expeditions and she had the best experience.

Paddleboarding isn’t just for tropical climates, and is the perfect way to get up close and personal with the Antarctic wildlife. If you’re wondering whether or not you should go on a solo trip to Antarctica, DO IT! 

Solo Travel Destination 5: Easter Island

Located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Easter Island is home to hundreds of Moai, or the head-shaped statues that everyone can recognize. We’ve cracked the code on how the statues were erected, but not so much on how they were moved.

It’s pretty expensive to get to Easter Island, but this tiny gorgeous island with its breathtaking views, bright blue waters, cliffs and palm trees is well worth the visit!

 
Solo Travel Destination 6: Rajasthan, India

Get ready to feel like royalty! Rajasthan is a state in India made up of many different cities, and is known as the land of the royals. If you’re looking for a totally different experience from Agra and New Delhi, look no further. 

You’ll feel like a total princess (and no, you don’t need a prince to tag along!) when you visit cities like Jaipur and its forts and palaces, take a camel safari in Pushkar, scope out the blue houses in Jodhpur, or take a gondola on the massive Lake Pichola. 

Solo Travel Destination 7: Madagascar

If you’re an adventurer, then Madagascar is for you! Who wouldn’t want to live out their dreams of getting to see real life lemurs?! Lemurs are actually endangered in Madagascar and tourism helps keep conservations and reserves running, so there’s your reason to go!

Madagascar is super rugged and unique so you should totally check out the tours of the more untouched areas. If these aren’t reasons to pack your bags, Mikea Forest sure is!

 
Solo Travel Destination 8: Iceland

Wanting to cool down a little? Iceland is the perfect getaway for solo travelers. Majestic and otherworldly, Iceland offers the most unreal sights! The best part: you can totally rent a car and drive around to see things for yourself.

Take a self-tour of the South Coast and dive between the continents along the Golden Circle. After a long day, relax and take a dip in the Blue Lagoon, or other natural hot springs!

Don’t be afraid to go to Iceland in the winter months, winter in Iceland is just as magical!

Solo Travel Destination 9: New Zealand

Roadtripping in New Zealand? Awesome! Roadtrippin in New Zealand by yourself in a camper van? Sign me up!

New Zealand has two main land masses: North Island and South Island. On North Island you’ve got beaches and lakes with water clearer than the Caribbean, oh, and glow worm caves! On South Island you’ve got beautiful lakes surrounded by pine trees and a whole lot of sheep.

Check out some must-see stops for a roadtrip on South Island!

Solo Travel Destination 10: Egypt

Think traveling to Egypt solo is unsafe? Think again! Tourism in Egypt is on the rise, so you better take advantage of it!

There’s a TON to do, so make sure you leave at least a week to see as much as possible. From the Great Pyramids of Giza to the Nile River and its amazing temples, to King Tut’s Tomb, you’ll be in for an exciting experience! The best part: you can do it all on a budget!

Don’t want to do this one alone? Email info@mylifesamovie.com for information about #MyLifesATravelTRIBE Group Trips to Egypt!

Solo Travel Destination 11: Bucharest, Romania

Bucharest has an incredible social scene and is perfect for those solo travelers who aren’t afraid to go out on the town and have some fun! 

There are a ton of rooftop bars in Old Town where you can try a glass of famous Romanian Blue Wine. There are so many different bars, and when you’ve had enough to drink, be sure to participate in the street dance parties!

If you’re more into sightseeing, there are lots of interesting buildings like the Parliament Palace (the biggest Parliament building in the world) and castles like Bran Castle and Peles Castle. Check out this post to help you plan your stay in Bucharest!  

Solo Travel Destination 12: Seychelles

Okay, did someone say PARADISE?! The Seychelles is a small group of gorgeous island off the coast of East Africa. La Digue is definitely the best island to visit, with all of the Instafamous beaches and those granite boulders you want to just lounge on.

Check out the BEST beaches on La Digue here. Besides breathtaking clear blue water and gorgeous beaches, another reason to visit Seychelles are the Coco de Mer trees,  super rare trees that produce massive Butt Nuts!

Solo Travel Destination 13: Paris, France

Bonjour, Madame! Another iconic city, Paris has something to offer for all travelers alike, including solo travelers! 

Whether you want to see the sights of the Eiffel Tower and the Château de Versailles, ponder the great works at the Louvre Museum, or splurge along the Champs Elysées this city is your oyster!

Why not take a cruise down the Seine River for a few hours? Did you know, there’s a Parisian river cruise designed just for millennials?! 

Solo Travel Destination 14: Aruba

Ahhh, the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean are calling your name! Want to get away on a quick flight from the US to absolute paradise? Aruba is the answer.

Don’t know where to go once you get there? The work is done for you! Check out this post for the absolute best beaches to visit while in Aruba!

 Solo Travel Destination 15: Croatia

It’s definitely not going to be a SHAME if you visit Croatia! Game of Thrones, anyone? Yes, Game of Thrones was filmed in Dubrovnik, but there’s so much more to Croatia than that!

If you’re able to take a tour around Croatia, preferably by car, visit places like Plitvice National Park, the oldest and largest national park in Croatia. BONUS: is has so many pretty waterfalls! Visit Rovinj and explore the walled city, or the ever-popular Split.

Solo Travel Destination 16: London, UK

London is a GREAT place to start solo traveling if you have never done it before. If you’re from the US, you’ll probably find that it’s not as overwhelming as, say, Tokyo. 

There are so many things to do in London! Including festivals, the Harry Potter Studio Tour, afternoon tea, boat trips, and even seeing the Prime Meridian.

But you don’t have to do the typical touristy stuff! This is how you can skip the basic tourist things and do trendy things in London instead.

Solo Travel Destination 17: New York, NY

The city that never sleeps! You don’t want to sleep on New York City. It’s hard to know where to start, so just start!

You can do really expensive (but worth it) touristy things like the Empire State Building, Freedom Tower, or the Statue of Liberty. Or you can find plenty of free things to do like explore Central Park, or walk the High Line.

You can also see TONS of shows on Broadway. Venture out to the neighborhoods in Brooklyn for a more calm experience, or be an adrenaline junkie and ride a helicopter over the city.

Seriously, there’s tons of things for everyone. And, you don’t need to feel alone because there are so many solo travelers in NYC at any given moment! For ideas on things to do in NYC that you definitely haven’t thought of, click here!

Solo Travel Destination 18: Nairobi, Kenya

If you love animals, then a Kenyan Safari is for you! With a little planning ahead, you can book an affordable Kenya Safari trip.

The two main locations for Kenya Safaris are Masai Mara National Park and Lake Nakuru National Park. You’ll see all kinds of wildlife, like lions, elephants, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, and more!

Pack your bags and be ready to be totally blown away!

Solo Travel Destination 19: Machu Picchu, Peru

Via the Inca Trail, solo of course! Machu Picchu is a citadel located super high in the Andes Mountains in Peru. It sits 2,430m above sea level and is a Unesco World Heritage Site. 

One of the best ways to get to Machu Picchu is by hiking the Inca Trail (the trail terminates at Machu Picchu!). Once there, you’ll get a surreal view of the scenery and quickly learn that the intricate terraces, temples, and water systems were built in 1300! Are you ready to go yet?!

Solo Travel Destination 20: Hopkins, Belize

Belize is super underrated! A small (English-speaking) country in Central America, it is home to one of the largest barrier reefs in the world! If you’re into snorkeling and diving mixed with a little adventure, Belize is for you!

Hopkins is a small fishing village located in Stann Creek on the southeastern coast. It’s home to a bunch of cool resorts, such as the only Belizean owned resort, and an awesome eco-friendly resort! The resorts are great for families but they also offer tours (including Mayan Ruins tours!) for solo travelers. Can you Belize it?!

  • Before the term “influencer” or “content creator” existed, I was one of the original travel bloggers, unknowingly helping pioneer what is now a multibillion dollar Creator Industry. I helped transform solo female travel from taboo to trendy, and taught thousands of people how to work remotely and build a brand. I’ve done so much more than just create content, although hardly anyone sees the behind the scenes. And it’s been 14 years that I’ve owned the title of travel bloggers/influencer so… Allow me to re-introduce myself. I am Alyssa Ramos, the founder of My Life’s a Travel Movie brand, one of the very first travel “influencers” and one of the pioneers of the creator industry, of normalizing solo female travel today, of influencer-hosted group trips, and of getting paid to travel via social media! I started my blog in 2012, then started using social media to promote it in 2014, earning me the title of “influencer”but what was never fully seen was the entrepreneur behind it who helped create an entire new industry with no money and when hardly anyone believed it would work. Soon after I became one of the first travel blogger/influencers to make a full time living from it, I was asked to speak at conferences, interviewed in the press, and I was one of the very first people to make the courses about how it’s done (they didn’t exist when I started!) I had a big dream to get paid to travel the world, and to normalize solo female travel, and once I succeeded, I kept going. Today I am not only a travel influencer, but also a humanitarian, animal activist, a trailblazer, an author, speaker, writer, entrepreneur and…one of the most experienced solo female travelers in the world. So far I’ve been to over 150 countries (off the 197 list), all 7 continents (Antarctica 4x), and I average 20 countries per year. Now I’m going bigger. I’m launching a travel show, more speaker events, writing another book, and I’ve started the Travel Tribe Foundation to give back through my group trips.

  • I thought I was going to shipwreck trying to get to an existing shipwreck in the Solomon Islands…and I was traveling solo with just a fisherman driving me on his small boat. 😳 But! We made it, even with a massive storm approaching, and I experienced one of the most incredible “my life’s a travel movie” moments in my 12 years of continuous solo traveling!! I truly felt like I was in a movie! The ship is an old cruise ship that hit rocks and slowly sank as it washed ashore on Roderick’s Bay. It’s only half sunk, so you can swim around it (it’s super creepy and dangerous, don’t do it alone), and since it’s completely unregulated, you can also climb it and zip line into the water (also dangerous, can’t recommend) The angle of the ship also created one of the most vibrant marine sanctuaries I’ve seen in a while, with lots of actual colorful coral and fish (including clown fish!) I went to Solomon Islands after my second trip to Papua New Guinea, on my quest to slow solo travel to every country in the world. Would I go back to the shipwreck? Probably not. That boat ride was terrifying. But I’d go back to see more of the islands in the Solomon’s, there’s so many! Would you brave the ride to get to this shipwreck? For any fellow extreme adventurers, my Solomon Islands travel tips and itinerary is on my website linked in bio! ———————- For anyone new here: Hi!

  • D. R. Congo and Silverback Gorillas both have reputations for being extremely dangerous, and that’s true, to an extent. But hear me out. First a disclaimer: I am one of the most experienced solo female travelers in the world, and I also have a degree in Animal Science plus extensive experience with wild animals. All of my animal encounters are ethical, researched, and done with professionals. My goal is to promote responsible animal tourism that actually benefits and protects the animals, Don’t try to do any of them on your own! Ok so the Mountain Gorillas! Yes, they can be extremely dangerous! However, many of them have been socialized, and are therefore accepting of human visitors (and very curious) Gorilla trekking tourism is what protects these beautiful animals, because it generates more money to have them alive, so it forces the govs and other orgs to implement strict rules and anti-poaching efforts! In fact, these gorillas were almost poached to extinction before trekking became popular, and now most of the trackers (people paid to find the gorillas to trek to) are former poachers! I’ve gone gorilla trekking 5 times and it’s always a safe and beautiful experience (the trek is difficult though and can be up to 8 hours through thick jungle) Now about D.R. Congo…. Shortly after my first solo travels there, Virunga National Park closed and remains closed due to armed conflict with rebel groups..: I still went to visit Goma several more times, and I truly love Congo, but I will be waiting with anticipation for the safety to increase, because the gorillas in DRC were my top favorite see! For more info on DRC or the other 150 countries I’ve traveled solo to, please check out my blog linked in bio! ———- Please follow me @mylifesatravelmovie for more extreme adventures with purpose 💖 #alyssaramostravels #mylifeisatravelmovie #mylifeisatravelmovie
  • I have a “bucketlist tattoo” that I add to when I complete a major bucketlist check! This one was a double check: seeing a wild Polar Bear and reaching my farthest latitude north (so far): 82 degrees North! For reference, the geographic North Pole is at 90 degrees North, so we were very close to it! Maybe one day I’ll reach it! There’s only one tattoo shop in Longyearbyen, therefore it’s officially the northernmost tattoo shop! And I also have tattoos from the Southernmost tattoo shop in Ushuaia for my 4 trips to Antarctica! Anyone else have cool tattoos? ——————- For anyone new here: Hi!

  • This is my 3rd year being an American living on a vineyard in Italy (married the owner!) and I def have a lot of tea/wine to spill about it 😂 People have this dreamy or glamorous “Emily in Rome”-esque idea about traveling to Italy, falling in love, preferably with someone who owns a vineyard, and living happily ever after…well I did that, and it can be a bit more “difficile vita” than “dolce vita” at times! Shall I give the full interview for the “real Netflix documentary about an American living in Italy”?? 😂
  • I’ve swam with Orcas, a crocodile, and my for-fun hobby is shark diving, but I draw the line at poisonous swimming snakes. 🙅‍♀️🐍 It really just came up to me like that when I was sitting on the beach on an island in New Caledonia! I had been contemplating going swimming with the turtles nearby, but changed my mind after I saw this! This was a “Blake-banded Sea Krait”, common to this area in the South Pacific Islands, I’ve heard several divers say they’ve seen them! But no thanks, I prefer sharks. 😂 Animal safety tip: as an experienced animal encounteress, i never ever suggest provoking or trying to “fight off” any dangerous animal that isn’t actively trying to attack you. Stay calm and still and let it pass like I did in this video. Then, feel free to run. (Jk I’d still suggest carefully and slowly backing a way, keeping an eye on it). What would you do if you saw a swimming snake?! —————— For anyone new here: Hi!

  • I’ve stayed at over 500 hotels in my 12 years of traveling to around 20 countries per year, here’s 20 that absolutely blew my mind and I cannot forget!! Swipe to see each caption for the name and location of these beauties (and some just bizarre!) I have a full list with links of the hotels here and ones I’ve posted about, linked on my bio! Please use those links if you book these places bc most don’t pay me to give this free publicity so the way I can monetize is using the links, it costs you nothing, and helps me a lot, thanks!! 😁😁😁 The currently viral @shebara resort in Saudi Arabia with UFO looking over-water bungalows! Costs around $2-4k per night and doesn’t include the transfer to get to the island… Check out my Shebara blog post for full details! Probably the most bizarre hotel I’ve ever stayed at is this one in Turkmenistan. It’s known as “the wedding hotel” bc it’s where most people have their receptions, but the ground floor wing behind me is open for tourists….except, I was the only one there and it seemed like it had been empty for a while.. You can’t book hotels on your own in Turkmenistan, you have to take a tour and have a letter of invitation. Full blog post with that info too. I’m scheduled to return to Turkmenistan in October and also next year with @mylifesatraveltribe (sold out though, join the waitlist!) I never would have guessed I’d end up living on a vineyard and recalling @pacheca.group The Wine House as inspo for a future rental project!! These wine barrel rooms are in Portugal. Who thinks I should try to build some on our vineyard in Sardinia Italy? One of the bougiest hotel experiences is at @anantaramaiaseychelles ! The villas are beautiful but it was the 24/7 butler service that I can’t forget! The Seychelles was my 100th country, and they brought me enough wine bottles to write out the number in my private jacuzzi! One of my all time favorites is @tulia_zanzibar 😻 it’s one of the most beautiful, thoughtfully designed, sustainable resorts I’ve experienced, AND it has a water slide! Scotland surprised me a lot with its incredible hotel options! Namely, all of the castles! There’s so many of them!!! An incredibly u
  • Yes, that is a real, wild Crocodile. Yes, I swam with him (several times) Would you dare? This is Panchito the Crocodile, he lives alone in Casa Cenote which is close to Tulum. Crocs are not commonly found in cenotes (pronounced “seh-note-ay” and are deep fresh water reserves throughout the Yucatán peninsula ) and no one is really sure how he got there. Panchito is allegedly “friendly”, but it’s more like “unbothered until provoked”. Recently for the first time ever Panchito attacked a swimmer because some unintelligent people were throwing rocks at him to try to provoke a reaction for a video 😡 Even this last time when I was there, while I was freediving in the cenote, other tourists were loud and slashing at Panchito, causing him to interrupt his tanning session, jump into the water, and dive under the mangroves until the people were gone (I watched all of it and was honestly a bit scared when he came swimming towards me underwater). Anyway! If you want a unique wildlife experience, check out Casa Cenote but do not disturb Panchito!!! Or any wildlife! Animal karma is real! I live in Tulum half-time and have lots of posts and tips about it and also this cenote, all on my website along with tips for over 140 countries - MyLifesAMovie.com ————————— For anyone new here: Hi!

And it’s been 14 years that I’ve owned the title of travel bloggers/influencer so… Allow me to re-introduce myself. I am Alyssa Ramos, the founder of My Life’s a Travel Movie brand, one of the very first travel “influencers” and one of the pioneers of the creator industry, of normalizing solo female travel today, of influencer-hosted group trips, and of getting paid to travel via social media! I started my blog in 2012, then started using social media to promote it in 2014, earning me the title of “influencer”but what was never fully seen was the entrepreneur behind it who helped create an entire new industry with no money and when hardly anyone believed it would work. Soon after I became one of the first travel blogger/influencers to make a full time living from it, I was asked to speak at conferences, interviewed in the press, and I was one of the very first people to make the courses about how it’s done (they didn’t exist when I started!) I had a big dream to get paid to travel the world, and to normalize solo female travel, and once I succeeded, I kept going. Today I am not only a travel influencer, but also a humanitarian, animal activist, a trailblazer, an author, speaker, writer, entrepreneur and…one of the most experienced solo female travelers in the world. So far I’ve been to over 150 countries (off the 197 list), all 7 continents (Antarctica 4x), and I average 20 countries per year. Now I’m going bigger. I’m launching a travel show, more speaker events, writing another book, and I’ve started the Travel Tribe Foundation to give back through my group trips. Thank you everyone who has been here with me for so long, and welcome to anyone new! To follow along with my updates, please comment “travel

I thought I was going to shipwreck trying to get to an existing shipwreck in the Solomon Islands…and I was traveling solo with just a fisherman driving me on his small boat. 😳 But! We made it, even with a massive storm approaching, and I experienced one of the most incredible “my life’s a travel movie” moments in my 12 years of continuous solo traveling!! I truly felt like I was in a movie! The ship is an old cruise ship that hit rocks and slowly sank as it washed ashore on Roderick’s Bay. It’s only half sunk, so you can swim around it (it’s super creepy and dangerous, don’t do it alone), and since it’s completely unregulated, you can also climb it and zip line into the water (also dangerous, can’t recommend) The angle of the ship also created one of the most vibrant marine sanctuaries I’ve seen in a while, with lots of actual colorful coral and fish (including clown fish!) I went to Solomon Islands after my second trip to Papua New Guinea, on my quest to slow solo travel to every country in the world. Would I go back to the shipwreck? Probably not. That boat ride was terrifying. But I’d go back to see more of the islands in the Solomon’s, there’s so many! Would you brave the ride to get to this shipwreck? For any fellow extreme adventurers, my Solomon Islands travel tips and itinerary is on my website linked in bio! ———————- For anyone new here: Hi! I’m Alyssa Ramos of @mylifesatravelmovie - one of the most traveled and most experienced solo female travelers in the world! I’ve been to 146 countries so far over 12 years, and love rare destinations and animals! My goal is to inspire you to travel off the typical path and to shatter negative stereotypes about “dangerous” destinations. Follow me for expert tips and inspiration!

D. R. Congo and Silverback Gorillas both have reputations for being extremely dangerous, and that’s true, to an extent. But hear me out. First a disclaimer: I am one of the most experienced solo female travelers in the world, and I also have a degree in Animal Science plus extensive experience with wild animals. All of my animal encounters are ethical, researched, and done with professionals. My goal is to promote responsible animal tourism that actually benefits and protects the animals, Don’t try to do any of them on your own! Ok so the Mountain Gorillas! Yes, they can be extremely dangerous! However, many of them have been socialized, and are therefore accepting of human visitors (and very curious) Gorilla trekking tourism is what protects these beautiful animals, because it generates more money to have them alive, so it forces the govs and other orgs to implement strict rules and anti-poaching efforts! In fact, these gorillas were almost poached to extinction before trekking became popular, and now most of the trackers (people paid to find the gorillas to trek to) are former poachers! I’ve gone gorilla trekking 5 times and it’s always a safe and beautiful experience (the trek is difficult though and can be up to 8 hours through thick jungle) Now about D.R. Congo…. Shortly after my first solo travels there, Virunga National Park closed and remains closed due to armed conflict with rebel groups..: I still went to visit Goma several more times, and I truly love Congo, but I will be waiting with anticipation for the safety to increase, because the gorillas in DRC were my top favorite see! For more info on DRC or the other 150 countries I’ve traveled solo to, please check out my blog linked in bio! ———- Please follow me @mylifesatravelmovie for more extreme adventures with purpose 💖 #alyssaramostravels #mylifeisatravelmovie #mylifeisatravelmovie

I have a “bucketlist tattoo” that I add to when I complete a major bucketlist check! This one was a double check: seeing a wild Polar Bear and reaching my farthest latitude north (so far): 82 degrees North! For reference, the geographic North Pole is at 90 degrees North, so we were very close to it! Maybe one day I’ll reach it! There’s only one tattoo shop in Longyearbyen, therefore it’s officially the northernmost tattoo shop! And I also have tattoos from the Southernmost tattoo shop in Ushuaia for my 4 trips to Antarctica! Anyone else have cool tattoos? ——————- For anyone new here: Hi!

This is my 3rd year being an American living on a vineyard in Italy (married the owner!) and I def have a lot of tea/wine to spill about it 😂 People have this dreamy or glamorous “Emily in Rome”-esque idea about traveling to Italy, falling in love, preferably with someone who owns a vineyard, and living happily ever after…well I did that, and it can be a bit more “difficile vita” than “dolce vita” at times! Shall I give the full interview for the “real Netflix documentary about an American living in Italy”?? 😂

I’ve swam with Orcas, a crocodile, and my for-fun hobby is shark diving, but I draw the line at poisonous swimming snakes. 🙅‍♀️🐍 It really just came up to me like that when I was sitting on the beach on an island in New Caledonia! I had been contemplating going swimming with the turtles nearby, but changed my mind after I saw this! This was a “Blake-banded Sea Krait”, common to this area in the South Pacific Islands, I’ve heard several divers say they’ve seen them! But no thanks, I prefer sharks. 😂 Animal safety tip: as an experienced animal encounteress, i never ever suggest provoking or trying to “fight off” any dangerous animal that isn’t actively trying to attack you. Stay calm and still and let it pass like I did in this video. Then, feel free to run. (Jk I’d still suggest carefully and slowly backing a way, keeping an eye on it). What would you do if you saw a swimming snake?! —————— For anyone new here: Hi!

I’ve stayed at over 500 hotels in my 12 years of traveling to around 20 countries per year, here’s 20 that absolutely blew my mind and I cannot forget!! Swipe to see each caption for the name and location of these beauties (and some just bizarre!) I have a full list with links of the hotels here and ones I’ve posted about, linked on my bio! Please use those links if you book these places bc most don’t pay me to give this free publicity so the way I can monetize is using the links, it costs you nothing, and helps me a lot, thanks!! 😁😁😁 The currently viral @shebara resort in Saudi Arabia with UFO looking over-water bungalows! Costs around $2-4k per night and doesn’t include the transfer to get to the island… Check out my Shebara blog post for full details! Probably the most bizarre hotel I’ve ever stayed at is this one in Turkmenistan. It’s known as “the wedding hotel” bc it’s where most people have their receptions, but the ground floor wing behind me is open for tourists….except, I was the only one there and it seemed like it had been empty for a while.. You can’t book hotels on your own in Turkmenistan, you have to take a tour and have a letter of invitation. Full blog post with that info too. I’m scheduled to return to Turkmenistan in October and also next year with @mylifesatraveltribe (sold out though, join the waitlist!) I never would have guessed I’d end up living on a vineyard and recalling @pacheca.group The Wine House as inspo for a future rental project!! These wine barrel rooms are in Portugal. Who thinks I should try to build some on our vineyard in Sardinia Italy? One of the bougiest hotel experiences is at @anantaramaiaseychelles ! The villas are beautiful but it was the 24/7 butler service that I can’t forget! The Seychelles was my 100th country, and they brought me enough wine bottles to write out the number in my private jacuzzi! One of my all time favorites is @tulia_zanzibar 😻 it’s one of the most beautiful, thoughtfully designed, sustainable resorts I’ve experienced, AND it has a water slide! Scotland surprised me a lot with its incredible hotel options! Namely, all of the castles! There’s so many of them!!! An incredibly u

Yes, that is a real, wild Crocodile. Yes, I swam with him (several times) Would you dare? This is Panchito the Crocodile, he lives alone in Casa Cenote which is close to Tulum. Crocs are not commonly found in cenotes (pronounced “seh-note-ay” and are deep fresh water reserves throughout the Yucatán peninsula ) and no one is really sure how he got there. Panchito is allegedly “friendly”, but it’s more like “unbothered until provoked”. Recently for the first time ever Panchito attacked a swimmer because some unintelligent people were throwing rocks at him to try to provoke a reaction for a video 😡 Even this last time when I was there, while I was freediving in the cenote, other tourists were loud and slashing at Panchito, causing him to interrupt his tanning session, jump into the water, and dive under the mangroves until the people were gone (I watched all of it and was honestly a bit scared when he came swimming towards me underwater). Anyway! If you want a unique wildlife experience, check out Casa Cenote but do not disturb Panchito!!! Or any wildlife! Animal karma is real! I live in Tulum half-time and have lots of posts and tips about it and also this cenote, all on my website along with tips for over 140 countries - MyLifesAMovie.com ————————— For anyone new here: Hi! I’m Alyssa Ramos of @mylifesatravelmovie - one of the most traveled and most experienced solo travel women in the world! I’ve been to 146 countries so far over 12 years, and love rare destinations and animals! My goal is to inspire you to travel off the typical path and to shatter negative stereotypes about “dangerous” destinations. Follow me for expert tips and inspiration!
