Ryan is a huge fan of Spain, especially Barcelona and the Spanish Riviera. Barcelona is a city of Soccer lovers, FC Barcelona being the top rated soccer team in Europe. Barcelona also houses incredible cathedrals and churches, prominent amongst them being La Sagrada Familia, Barcelona Cathedral and Esglesia de Betlem. Make sure you watch the Flamenco dance show on your visit to the vibrant city of Barcelona. The city has a fantastic nightlife too, with a wide range of pubs and eateries serving you around the clock. Another tourist hotspot in Spain, the Spanish riviera or Costa del Sol (literally "Coast of the Sun") is a region in the south of Spain in the autonomous community of Andalusia. Home to incredible blue water beaches, villas perched on the hills and a relaxed lifestyle, the Spanish Riviera is no less beautiful, though slightly cheaper, to its counterpart in France. Get on a sailboat, yatch or speedboat to explore the beauty of this gorgeous riviera as you sail across the blue waters of the Mediterranean.

South Africa is a phenomenal country located on the Southern tip of Africa. Popular for its scenic countryside, wineries and Nature parks, South Africa attracts millions of tourists each year. Ryan has built wonderful memories of travel in South Africa and a Safari in the Kruger Wildlife Park was the highlight of his vacation in South Africa. A ride on the cable car to the top of the Table Mountain was a mesmerizing moment, the views of the mountain on one side and the ocean on the other were breathtaking. South Africa is a fantastic place to take a self drive holiday. It has incredibly scenic highways that run through mountains and valleys, many of them edged on the ocean side. But of course, nothing beats a Safari excursion to the world famous Kruger National Park or Pilanesberg National Park - home to Africa’s Big Five—lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo. Wildlife tourism is well developed and there is no dearth of safari resorts in South Africa. Many travelers combine their South Africa vacation with a trip to Mauritius, located just 4 hours away by flight and a gem of an island destination for ocean lovers.

The US state of Alaska, bordering Ryan's home state of British Columbia in Canada, has been another one of his favourite vacation memories. Alaska is wilderness combined with adventure; definately not for the faint hearted. A pristine natural landscape comprising of vast greenlands, national parks, vast oceans with exquisitive marine life and Fjords, Alaska is an adventure on the edge of the globe that will leave you mesmerized and asking for more. Take a boat or wildlife cruise to get up close to glaciers and wildlife of the Kenai Fjords National Park as you cruise through hundreds of miles of jaw dropping scenic beauty of Alaska. Watch whales swim in their natural habitat on a cruise to Juneau shore excursion. Alaska is also one of the few places where you are see the Northern Lights Phenomena, also called Aurora Borealis, a spectacular lights show orchestrated by nature. A perfect alternative to Scandinavia for North American tourists, who can save tons of money on their flight tickets by choosing Alaska over Norway for this charismatic cosmic light show !

New York is a city of all reasons and seasons, a city Ryan considers to be close to his heart. An iconic city and a symbol of Western capitalism, New York is one of the largest commercial and financial centres in the World. The city centre of Manhattan hosts the United Nations Headquarters, Wall Street, Central Park, Broadway, and many famous buildings and is amongst the most expensive real estates in the World. The New York city harbour light cruise overlooking the Statue of Liberty was a truly 'American' excursion for Ryan. With a vibrant nightlife scene, Ryan has frequented top clubs and bars across New York and rates the city as one of the best nightlife cities globally. Take a Carriage ride around the Central Park to feel the real spirit of this metropolis, which houses such a large greenland in the city centre surrounded by skyscrapers. One can also take a side trip to the majestic Niagara falls on the US Canada border, a natural spectacle that draws millions of tourists all year round.

Walking through the Swiss Alps has been a top favourite for Ryan, which he visited with Blake Lively just before they parted ways. Switzerland is an epitome of natural beauty, gorgeous mountaineous landscape and an incredible country life. One of Europe's top tourist magnets, Switzerland is also a popular skiing and hiking destination for adventure seekers. A cruise on the lake Geneva provides a glimpse of the Swiss Alps that will leave you mesmerized. Zurich, Lucerne and Montreux are splendid cities to visit as you tour around the Swiss country. A unique excursion to take your kids or for the kid in you is the Lindt Home of Choclate Museum in Zurich, which gives you a glimpse into the history of choclate making and fascinating facts on choclate making through multimedia presentations. Plus unlimited choclate tasting when you take the tour of this one of its kind museum.
