The Philippines was freaking beautiful...I just wasn't a fan of constantly being asked, "Are you alone?" or "Where's your boyfriend?"
Chasing the Northern Lights in Norway isn't something you can just expect to happen on any given day. It's rare, and it's awesome, and totally worth the wait!
via The Huffington Post, by Alyssa Ramos While I’m proud to be a part of the millennial movement that skyrocketed solo travel out of this world last year despite societal expectations, I must admit that I don’t exactly do it because I’m “young without that many responsibilities yet” or because I’m single because…let’s not go there.

via Matador Network by Alyssa Ramos GETTING THESE SHOTS AND FOLLOWERS sometimes ain’t that glamorous! Some shots take forever to get, some are accidents, some are planned, and most are heavily edited. And most of these shots also got me a lot of weird stares while I was taking them.

via Huffington Post by Alyssa Ramos Up until about a year ago, I would have expected myself to be in a serious relationship right now, and getting engaged in five months, since that’s when I’ll be turning 28. Year-ago-me would have expected to be getting married by 29, and having a baby by 30, because that’s what seemed to be expected by family...
