Travel has always been less about the destination for me, and more about what happens when you get there. It’s waking up on a river cruise with a charming European village drifting by your window. It’s seeing your child’s face light up the first time they spot the Disney castle. It’s the unexpected detour that somehow becomes the highlight of the entire trip.
Because moments don’t collect themselves.
Welcome to your next adventure!
Hey There–I’m Ryen,
Montana native, mom of two, and someone who believes time is the most valuable thing we have to spend.
That belief is what brought me here. In 2019, I made it official and became a travel advisor, turning a lifelong love of planning into something I get to do every day. I build fully custom vacations for my clients — not templates, not one-size-fits-all packages — real trips designed around what matters to you.
My job is to take the stress off your plate so all you have to do is look forward to going. And because I work with top travel partners, my planning services are completely free to you.

Adventures by Disney Norway: Day Four
Our time in Flam and Undredal left quite the impression on us and if you’d told me that our morning leaving Flam would begin with a bus ride through Norway’s longest tunnel, I probably would have thought: dark, boring, and maybe even a little claustrophobic.
