My Story
From middle seats to first class, I’ve experienced travel from every angle—and I bring that perspective to the trips I design. I’m Ryan, a Fora travel advisor and flight attendant who helps travelers upgrade their experiences, not just their seats. Whether you’re looking for a Mediterranean escape, a luxe honeymoon, or just a better way to explore the world—I’ve got you covered. Let’s start planning your next adventure.
My Travel Style
I’ve been traveling my entire life—across the US and abroad—with family, friends, and now my partner, and I’ve turned that lifelong passion into a profession. As a flight attendant, I see the world from both the crew jump seat and first class, which means I know how to make every type of trip feel elevated. My boyfriend and I are obsessed with travel vlogs, local food scenes, and finding the actual best things to do—not just what pops up on page one. Whether you're looking for a luxe escape or a culturally rich adventure, I’ll craft something memorable, personal, and totally stress-free. All you have to do is say yes—and I’ll take care of the rest.

Fall for Portland: An Autumn PNW Weekend Getaway
Portland is one of those places that just glows in the fall—it’s the time of year that I look forward to the most. With fiery foliage, cozy cafés, and some of the best food and drink in the Pacific Northwest, it’s the perfect place to slow down and savor the season. Whether you’re exploring forested trails, browsing local makers at a weekend market, or sipping Pinot Noir, Portland makes autumn feel magical. It’s a city that feels both grounded and alive—and in the fall, it truly shines.

Malta Like a Local: The Ultimate Guide to the Mediterranean’s Hidden Gem
Malta isn’t just a destination for me—it’s part of my heritage.

From limestone cliffs and festa fireworks to long lunches by the sea, Malta offers a mix of culture, beauty, and warmth that feels both timeless and personal. This guide is my way of sharing the island I love—through the lens of a travel advisor with deep local roots.
