Voluntourism is a trend that’s not necessarily new, but definitely on the rise, especially amongst free-spirited, wanderlusting Millenials, like myself. If you haven’t already guessed, voluntourism combines volunteering with tourism, and is so popular that it gets its own travel category! Thousands of soul-searching, culture-loving, good-hearted people...

Yup...
Sydney Blogger Guide Interview with Phoebe Blyth From ManyManyAdventures.com by Alyssa Ramos I contacted Phoebe through her boyfriend and fellow Many Many Adventures blogger Ronnie Charrier, who also lived in Sydney. The two met while traveling and fell in love in Mozambique. Where in Sydney did you live (or stay) and what made you choose it? I’ve...
by Alyssa Ramos Everything seemed like it was in slow motion. The cool, crisp airport air stung my eyes as I squinted around to see where the slow-clap had started from. I had made it. I had flown Malaysia Airlines, and made it to Sydney without going missing. Just kidding. That was actually pretty messed up, but it really was a miracle that I had finally gotten...

by Alyssa Ramos The one hour flight from Bangkok to Krabi wasn’t bad at all, aside from the fact that Kelli almost missed it because she was buying makeup at the airport since she left hers at JFK. We booked last minute flights on SkyScanner for only $40 and had planned on meeting up with my friend Nina, who lives in Krabi and was supposed to show us around and...

By the time I had finally gotten to Lebua at State Tower (27 hours later from South Africa), Skybar at The Dome was already closed, which was pretty much the only reason why I wanted to stay there. Oh, and not to mention, not only did I lose my debit card already at the airport...
by Alyssa Ramos I hated Bangkok before I even got there. It all started with the negative reviews I got from friends, plus the teeny tiny little fact that there was a military coup (when the military overthrows the government) right before my trip that was causing a 10pm curfew and dangerous riots. It was all downhill from there when my journey from Africa to Bangkok...
by Alyssa Ramos The Dramatic Departure “Hey so, listen to me OK? I..eh..love you, and…I will miss you, a lot.” Mr. TDH said meaningfully as he hugged me tightly in the cold, misty, dark, early hours of that last Saturday morning in Muizenberg. My response was nonexistent since my face and arms were buried in his chest as I tried to keep warm and...
