Although there is a common belief that love tends to find you when you aren’t looking for it, Alana Morrison decided to be a bit more proactive with her love life. She joined the cast of Love Island for its first American season, and her quest for true love began. Her story didn’t have the happy ending she was looking for, and she was only on the island for a little over a week.
Still, the experience proved to work in Alana’s favor and it has helped her rise through the ranks of social media popularity. Now with a large following on Instagram, Alana has put herself in a better position to accomplish her dreams – and maybe, just maybe, love will find her along the way. Here are 10 things you didn’t know about Alana Morrison from Love Island USA.

There is typically a casting process for Love Island, but Alana didn’t enter it. Instead, the show came to her.

10. She’s All About Being Positive
Things in life don’t always go as planned, but having a positive outlook can definitely help when dealing with difficult situations. Alana likes to avoid negativity and tries to find the silver lining when she can. For example, being on Love Island didn’t turn out the way she wanted it to when she was dumped on day 9.
