It's Nice To Meet You
Welcome to my page! My name is Simone Ryan and I’m based in Dublin and bring over 18 years of experience in the travel industry.
Travel has always been my passion, and I feel incredibly lucky to turn that passion into a career. I’ve been fortunate to explore some extraordinary places around the world; from watching whales breach in Hermanus, to spending time with the Masai tribe in Kenya, to soaking up the summertime glamour of St. Moritz, and wandering through the colourful, vintage car lined streets of Havana.
I also have a huge love for cruising. Some of my happiest memories are from family cruises with my children, the mix of adventure, relaxation, and time together is something we all adore. It’s a style of travel that has become very special to us.
I’m delighted to be a Travel Counsellor, as it allows me to be available at a time that truly suits you, not just during traditional business hours. Many of my clients enjoy video calls, and I’m always happy to connect that way. I specialise in long haul, cruise and tailor made travel, creating bespoke experiences designed around your needs.
Travel Counsellors are licensed and bonded in Ireland by the Commission for Aviation Regulation, so your holiday is fully protected and your money is safe.
If you’re planning a trip, I’d love to help you find the perfect holiday for you and your loved ones. I look forward to hearing from you.
Warmest wishes,
Simone Ryan

Couples getaway - MSC DIVINA
When I first thought about this trip, I wanted to enjoy it as an adult trip, without the kids. So, I asked my husband what he thought about cruising. He is usually happy with any itinerary or destination I suggest, so I decided to book the MSC Dvina because of the itinerary. I know some people, when you talk about cruising, prefer new ships, others go for the itinerary. I am the type of person who

Highlights of Jordan
Jordan was on my bucket list for a long time so I was delighted to go on this trip with G Adventures. I was so excited to go that I was counting down the days to the trip. I flew with Egypt Air and had a two hour connection in Cairo before going to Amman. I really loved Amman and I regret that I didn’t add an extra night there. It is a very safe city with lots of options to taste their local and i

Rio de Janeiro
I remember when I was a child watching the Brazilian soap operas recorded in Rio de Janeiro. I used to imagine myself there rollerblading on the boardwalks in Leblon with the view of Sugar Loaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer, listening to Bossa Nova. Rio de Janeiro is an inviting city with a lovely combination of beach and city. When I finished college I decided to take my first trip on a pla

Buenos Aires
I have been to Buenos Aires three times, my friends and I just love the city vibe. My last trip there I stayed at The Design Suites Buenos Aires for four nights. If you like a quiet and charming neighbourhood, I recommend you stay in Palermo or Recoleta. They are nice areas to stay with lots of cafés, restaurants, boutique shops and 5* hotels. Our hotel was located close to the main attractions,

Jambo Kenya
“Jambo!" It is impossible to say this word without a smile in your face. You can expect to hear it a lot when you are in Kenya as the word means “Hello” in Swahili. What a beautiful country! If you are an animal lover, enjoy tasting local dishes and experiencing different cultures, Kenya is the right destination for you. When I was in Kenya in August 2017 for my honeymoon (Migration time), I coul
