My mom and I are basically living proof that the wanderlust travel gene exists, except for one minor difference; I tend to travel and do things as dangerously as possible. I don’t do it on purpose, but I mean, if there’s a cliff to be climbed or waterfall to jump off of…it’s going to happen. To be fair, her travels in the pre-cell phone, pre-be-cautious-about-hitch-hiking -days were basically just as dangerous.
Also to be fair, she sees everything I post on social media, including SNAPCHAT, so it’s not like anything is ever really a shock to her. Well…aside from certain photos that you can’t really tell what the outcome was…
I really do try not to scare my mom, especially since she’s all for me traveling the world, but sometimes I forget that I’m sending or posting certain photos that would give any mom a heart attack. So here are my top travel pics so far that have caused the biggest ruckus! And thanks mom for being such a good sport! 🙂

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!
I love this SO much! My mom and I do this same exact dance. And #7… I did the exact same thing. I told my mom I would never go skydiving, then I jumped out of a plane in Africa with “Sorry Mom <3 U" written on my hands. She didn't find out until I uploaded the picture to facebook and tagged her in it 🙂
Wow!! I’m so curious about that last one!! You crazy adventure girl you! Haha generally if my mama is scared it probably means I’m about to do something awesome.
Haha, that’s exactly how I think! I kind of test her first…if she’s spectacle…I do it. LOL! Yeah the last one was pretty bad…I actually wrote about it if you care to read a bad break up story hahaha https://mylifesamovie.com/2015/03/17/not-so-lucky-in-ireland/ 😉
