Advisor - Carolyn Ryan

About

An interior designer and home CEO who loves squeezing all the juice out of a lemon – aka full itineraries. I love the hi-low mix, a little canvas tent safari meets five-star hotels.

Home airports

PBI and JFK –  life between the two islands.

My travel style

I spend every moment exploring, savoring and sharing new adventures. I drag my family along with me and I'm thankful for my open and curious children. I'm normally active in the morning, hiking in nature or touring great cities. I love winding down in the afternoon with a spa or wellness experience and a glass of the local adult beverage with my husband or travel friends. I believe in making a personal connection in each community I visit and giving back through ethical, responsible and community-focused travel.

One thing I can't travel without...

My silk weighted eye mask.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. Touring the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina on a third grade school field trip opened my eyes to the exotic excitement of the world. 

  2. I had to pre-pay for dinner in Zimbabwe during their 2010 inflation, when the price changed between starting the meal and finishing it. 

  3. A snake charmer in Fez taught me how to make serpents dance.
