Hello everyone, I’m Alyssa Ramos, the American travel blogger stuck in Kuwait who self-evacuated myself and several others successfully — we are all back in the US right now. This post has all of the information that I found and used to get out of that area, as well as the links to the whatsapp group chats I started to try to help you all share rides out.

*UPDATED MARCH 10, 2026 We are hearing from a lot of people in the group chats that they are getting out safely with the info we’ve provided and finding others to share rides with, and they are giving some other important updates! As of today:

  • Muscat Airport in Oman has been very functional and calm
  • Riyadh Airport in Saudi still has a lot of delays and cancellations.
  • There is an option for a cheaper bus that goes from Riyadh to Jeddah (safer airport there) with tickets on: https://satrans.com.sa/ for 150 SAR!
All smiles AFTER we made it out of Kuwait and to Riyadh airport

Just to note — I can’t respond to direct messages or texts right now, there are just too many at the moment, but if you write in the group chat, we now have a lot of helpful moderators, and I reply as much as I can in there.

Something else — I am NOT trying to persuade anyone to leave, I am just offering help with the option and information about my experience. I cannot tell you if I think it will be safe for you or if you’re better off waiting it out. The gov posted “evacuate immediately” but also the gov did nothing to evacuate anyone, so it’s really up to you do decide what you want to do.

And just to be clear, we all did everything to contact the US gov for help, I even messaged the US embassy in Kuwait on February 26 to ask if it was still ok to come there since we heard Trump’s threats to attack Iran. We enrolled in STEP, I even called the consulate on Feb 1, and it was no help. See the end of this post for ways I think the governments can easily evacuate everyone, and feel free to send them this post!

In short here is my story and what I did to self evacuate:

Trying to keep everyone in good spirits, though I knew how terrifying and traumatizing this would be for my friends.
  • We arrived in Kuwait on February 28th, and upon landing heard the news that the US/Israel attacked Iran. Shortly after landing, we heard missiles overhead at the airport. We were told to go to the hotel because they were closing the airport. Two hours later, a drone hit the airport causing significant damage and some injuries to staff.
  • After sheltering in place at a hotel for 3 days, constantly hearing interception explosions and sirens, and seeing the gov’s “evacuate immediately” posts, we decided to self-evacuate
  • I received contact information for SUV transfers from a local Kuwaiti influencer (@hello965) and from a guy named Ale who DMed me info he had found
  • We immediately booked an 8 person SUV for $1200 split between 6 people
  • At 5am (day 4 in Kuwait) we woke up to more sirens and explosions, so we asked the driver to come earlier, and we left Kuwati City at 7am
  • I asked everyone to wear a hijab just in case Iranian drones were somehow able to see us (to avoid looking American)
  • We crossed the Kuwait and Saudi borders with no problem. There was no one else there and it was very fast. They also don’t make you take lake all the luggage out to scan it.
  • The total drive was around 8 hours from Kuwait City to Riyadh Airport
  • 1.5 hours is a drive through southern Kuwait, where all the military bases are, so that was the scariest part
  • The rest is mostly through the desert of northern Saudi, with nothing but sand and camels.
  • Our driver was very kind and safe, and stopped for bathroom breaks when needed (don’t expect anything fancy)
  • On the way, I used this fare finder website to book a direct flight out to Cairo, knowing it was the safest bet to just get out. The other girls used the United or Delta app to get direct flights to USA through London.
  • We went to the Marriott by the airport first to wait for flights, assuming the airport was a target
  • When I finally boarded the flight to Cairo, they stopped boarding and closed the airspace overhead due to imminent threats.
  • We waited an hour in the plane, then finally got the all-clear and we were able to leave!
  • Once in Cairo, I booked a flight back to the US through Switzerland.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SELF EVACUATE BY LAND

  1. Either a transfer company (car and driver, see info below), rental car, or bus/train but we haven’t found those yet. You need a transfer ALL THE WAY from city to city, if you do to the border, there is a 2km gap in between checkpoints!
  2. An eVISA to enter Saudi Arabia or Oman – Visa on arrival is not an option
  3. Valid passport
  4. I’d recommend water and snacks, but there were places in Saudi Arabia we stopped at for them too
  5. Also would recommend travel insurance for emergencies (they don’t cover war… but in case of vehicle accidents etc)

HOW TO GET EVISAS

Again, you cannot get a visa on arrival at land border crossings into Saudi Arabia, and only a few major ones in Oman. Some nationalities cannot even get an eVISA at all unfortunately (I heard Indian passports cannot).

We are working on getting in touch with the Saudi tourism board and government to see if they would consider temporary transit/evacuation-free visas.

**eVisas can take between 24-48 hours so apply for them ASAP if you want to leave immediately!!

Here are the official websites for eVisas for Saudi Arabia

Uploading your passport page photo and a passport photo is tricky on their websites, but you can upload the photo into chatgbt and ask it to make it the right dimensions for a Saudi evisa and it does…

Here are official websites for eVisas for Oman

Transfer Companies and Drivers for KUWAIT to SAUDI

First — many people keep asking which is safer to go to, Dammam airport or Riyadh. At this point, I wouldn’t say either is “safe”, but I would say you have a higher chance of getting a flight out of Riyadh (like I did). The safest bet is Jeddah or Medina but that’s a very, very far drive.

These companies offer rides to both destinations. Please use my SPREADSHEET if you want to coordinate rides with others!

Group Chats with Others Wanting to Self-Evacuate

Before joining/asking questions in the group chats, please make sure you have read this page thoroughly and have checked out the SPREADSHEET.

There are now close to 2000 people in all of the chats and we are doing our best to help everyone but people keep asking the same questions, which is why I put all of the information on here and made a spreadsheet!

If you do want to find people to share rides with, please put it on the spreadsheet first, then join and say you wrote it on there, with the date and time!

Here are links to our group chats:

Is it Safe to Land Transfer?

I personally felt safe with our land transfer. I used “Abu Kuwait Transport” (listed above) and we had a Bahranian male driver who was very kind and cared about our safety. He also helped us do everything for the border crossing.

**You can see videos from my land transfer and time in Kuwait on the Kuwait highlight of my Instagram – @mylifesatravelmovie

However, in general, I was very scared about potential missiles/drones/etc overhead and falling debris. That was honestly my only fear. And later on it was hitting a camel crossing the road, but we stopped for 7 camel crossings.

For those worried about people-related dangers — the people in these areas are typically very faithful Muslims, which means they are determined to do good, be respectful, and help others. Most men will not even shake a woman’s hand. And our driver asked if it was ok to stop for 5 minutes so he could go pray, and he fasted (no food or water) the entire 8 hours driving us because it was Ramadan.

The local people are who got us out of there and helped us, the local military is who defended us, so I feel a lot safer relying on them than anything else!

Important to note though — I am a professional solo traveler, so this was a very normal idea and procedure for me. My friends were a lot more nervous and frightened, and I completely understand that, so again, if you don’t feel comfortable or safe doing a land transfer, don’t do it!

How to Get Flights Out of Saudi Arabia

I am also a professional flight hacker and very frequent flier, so I used the real time information about airport closures and looked at the map on Flight Aware to determine where to fly to once I reached Riyadh.

My friends wanted to get to the US as quickly as possible, so they said they used the United app and Delta app to find flights with layovers in London then direct to the US (NYC and Boston) for around $2k.

I just wanted to get out of the danger zone, and I wasn’t sure how many more flights would get cancelled, so I first just booked a flight to Cairo for $200, knowing from others and the flight radar that flights were successfully going there from Riyadh.

Once I was safely in Riyadh, I then booked the next flight out, which was on Swiss Airlines with a layover in Zurich, then off to Miami.

Again, I used a fare finder website like this one to see all available flights, but make sure you…

DO NOT Choose Flights with Layovers in:

  • Doha
  • Abu Dhabi
  • Dubai
  • Muscat
  • And potentially even avoid Dammam and Istanbul due to cancellations

Layovers in Jeddah and Medina seem to be the surest option, but we have also heard flights out of Muscat are operating frequently.

Contacts for Help in Other Countries You Might Transfer Through

If you don’t feel comfortable going to or laying over in the places available, I have some contacts you can reach out to for help arranging transportation and even lodging.

FYI the Saudi Tourism Board has told all tour companies and guides to reach out and assist foreigners in any way they can right now!

Saudia Arabia Contacts:

  • Faisal (Riyadh guide) +966 59 301 6043
  • Ahmed (Riyadh guide) +966 55 545 2982
  • Kholoud (Jeddah, female guide!) +966 56 542 1771

Cairo Contacts:

  • Lady Egypt Tours +20 111 105 9992
  • Ahmed (VIP greeting and transfers for Lady Egypt) +20 100 007 8755

Istanbul Contact:

  • Lutfi (Best Turkey Travel) +90 533 481 99 44

How the US Gov and Other Gov’s Can Easily Help

Everything I did and am doing comes from my skills and experience traveling the world, but I know what works, and I know what would easily solve everyone’s problems.

The U.S. gov is currently spending billions on missiles, war crafts, and war in general, and all it would take is maybe $10k to arrange busses for land crossings to get people out of the Gulf countries, and from there people can get their own flights out.

Ideally, they’d also pay for the flights out, but we know that won’t happen, unless you’re a “Trump influencer” (please remember that there are GOOD influencers out there too, like me, and the Kuwaiti influencer who helped us).

USA Government and all other governments need to simply fund the land transfers, again, easiest by charter bus, and designate them as “safe options” to make those of you who are still skeptical about doing it feel safe. However, it needs to be done in a way that doesn’t make it obvious that it is government related, or it will just create a moving target.

Saudi Arabia Government could really help by allowing temporary evacuation transit visas available at the borders.

Media and Press Interviews I’ve Done So Far:

I’ve been interviewed on several news stations and other platforms have written about my story, if you’d like to see them, all are below (that I know of). I am working on writing my own story out soon.

  • 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 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!

  • 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!

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!

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!
