Paul Ryan
As our Co-Founder and CEO, Paul Ryan knows a thing or two about travel. He's spent much of his life exploring the world, and despite having visited more destinations than most of us could dream of, his list of places to discover just keeps growing.
Together with fellow founders James and Brendon, Paul created Inspiring Vacations with a simple vision: to help more people experience the world and create unforgettable memories through travel, without the hassle of organising it all themselves.
With the Silk Road and Patagonia among his next adventures, Paul is always planning his next trip. He loves nothing more than getting together with fellow travel enthusiasts, swapping stories, sharing recommendations and talking about all the incredible places still waiting to be explored.

Favourite travel memory: Taking Mum and Raffi to Africa. From safari in Kruger to Victoria Falls, and celebrating Raffi’s 8th birthday there — getting to experience it all together made it pretty hard to beat. 
Favourite destination: South Africa 
I loved Cape Town and then being out on safari in Kruger — such completely different experiences in one trip.
Where I’m off to next: Hopefully Scandinavia! It’s been on my bucket list for ages and I’d love to experience it in winter — Northern Lights, glass igloos, huskies, the lot!
