PODCAST Episodes & Resources

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:

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!




Rapa Nui (Easter Island)



Iguazu Falls

Episode 3: Everest Basecamp Packing & Training

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”!

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!!!
