About
Hello, I'm Alyssa. An event planner turned full-time freelance writer. I've always been passionate about culture and travel. I had my first trip to another country when I was a junior college student. That was when I realized I wanted to travel around different countries and write about them.Of course, as with how all dreams go, sometimes you take the roundabout way to achieve them. When I graduated, I worked for an educational organization as an event planner and stayed there for almost eight years. Before the pandemic, I decided I wanted to change up my life. So I resigned. But the market wasn't good. Companies weren't allowed to hire. People were trying to figure things out in the new normal. And I still needed to pay my bills. So I thought, "Why not give writing a try while waiting for this to tide over?" And that's when everything clicked. I dusted my long-forgotten dream from the attic of my mind where it lay hidden, waiting to see the light of day once more. I looked for clients to build my portfolio and experience, eventually landing ghostwriting gigs in the topic I loved best: travel. I wrote for travel companies, such as airlines and hotels, as well as other luxury lifestyle brands.If you're looking for a travel writer with experience writing about various travel topics, I'm your one-way ticket to the content you need. I've written articles, how-tos, luggage reviews, listicles, and a lot of other things. I love researching and details (probably because of my event planner experience where I had to take care of so many details). And those travel itineraries? I can't explain how much I love making those—to the point that whenever I travel with my friends, they always put me in charge of planning every little detail of the trip.
