Now that I’ve officially been traveling full time for over ten years, I have decided to start a podcast since, well, I have a lot to say about my travels!

I don’t want to make it just about me (but I do have some pretty entertaining stories if I do say so myself) so I’m going to make a mix of story telling, tips, and motivation! If you have any suggestions for topics, or perhaps people to have on, drop me a comment!

Episode 1: Hi, I’m Alyssa and I Travel For a Living

Link to Episode: Hi, I’m Alyssa and I Travel for a Living

Welcome to My Life’s a Travel PODCAST! I’m Alyssa Ramos from @mylifesatravelmovie, and I was one of the first solo travel blogger/influencers, who has been traveling full time and for a living for over ten years now!

I’m starting this podcast mostly because I can’t use my laptop for 2 weeks while I climb Everest Basecamp, so I’m going to record my travel tips and stories instead of write them!

This first episode will explain how in the f I even started this crazy awesome lifestyle, the struggles of it, and what I plan on talking about next!

If you have any topic recommendations, let me know, otherwise this is what I’ve got so far:

  • Travel & Dating in Your 30’s (and How I Met My Fiance)
  • How to Fund Your Travels & My Top Hacks for Deals
  • How to Deal With Negative, Toxic People Telling You Not to Travel
  • Travel Stories: The Girl Who Wears Gowns in Antarctica
  • Travel Stories: The Time I Almost Died 4 Times in a Row Traveling Solo
  • Travel Stories: The Time I Accidentally Dated a Barcelona Phone Thief
  • Travel Stories: Crossing into D.R.Congo to Trek With Gorillas During Covid

Thanks and chat with you soon!

Episode 2: TOP 10 Bucketlist Checks in 10 Years of Traveling Solo

Link to Episode: TOP 10 Bucketlist Checks in 10 Years of Traveling Solo

The #1 question people ask that I can’t answer is “Where is your favorite place?”. So instead, I am going to explain my Top 10 Bucketlist checks I’ve made in the last 10 years of traveling solo, including which ones I do (and don’t) recommend, and how all of them lead up to where I currently am: about to trek Everest Basecamp! Below are links to blog posts that correspond to what I am talking about, and the cover photo is my “bucketlist tattoo” which is the reference of this list!

Below are links to my travel tips, guides, and itineraries for the places I mention in the episode!

Episode 3: Everest Basecamp Packing & Training

Episode 4: Kilimanjaro VS Everest Basecamp: Which is Harder?

Episode 5: Truths About RELIGION I Learned Through Traveling

Click to Listen: Truths About RELIGION I Learned Through Traveling

DISCLAIMER: this episode talks about alleged facts and (mostly) opinions about religion that might potentially upset some people. Today on Easter I wanted to talk about what led to me being non-religious, and what I’ve learned from traveling that has solidified that decision. And I also had to throw in some info about Easter Island, and why it’s preposterous that we call it that name!

Episode 6: “Don’t Date a Girl Who Travels”: Travel and Relationships!

Click to Listen: “Don’t Date a Girl Who Travels”: Travel and Relationships!

In this juicy podcast episode, I give my view on how it has been trying to have a relationship while maintaining my passion (and career) for travel, and why I think most men CANNOT HANDLE IT!

Plus how I met my now-fiancé, and how it has been trying to “have it all”!

Below are some related blog posts!

Episode 7: How I Started Traveling Solo (Plus Juicy Love Stories)

Click to Listen: How I Started Traveling Solo (Plus Juicy Love Stories)

Today I answer a common question: How I Started Traveling Solo, and I promise it’s a lot more complicated and hilarious than “I just booked a flight and went”.

No, no. I had a mid-20’s life crises, and also lost a job and a boyfriend for going, but then ended up falling in love 3 times, and more importantly, falling in love with SOLO TRAVEL!!!

Below are supplemental story links to what I talk about:

Alyssa Ramos

I’m Alyssa Ramos, a full-time, self-made, solo traveler who’s been to over 85+ Countries, all 7 Continents, 7 World Wonders, 7 Wonders of Nature, plus I recently climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and dove the Great Barrier Reef! I created this life of full-time traveling completely on my own, and my goal is to give you as much information and inspiration as possible to make travel happen for you too!
