If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t get everything you wanted out of your trip, it’s because it wasn’t designed with you in mind.
Experiential travel is a highly personal endeavor, anyone can see a destination, but what will you do while away? With the infinite amount of information out there online, it’s difficult to trust the authenticity of the source. Is what you’re reading accurate? Is that particular travel brand or company going to suit your personal travel style?
And with all of the ‘deals’ and ‘promotions’ inundating your social media feed, while they may be tempting to snap up, you are a guest whose vacation deserves highly personalized attention and care, you’re not just another sale.
Let me show you how great it feels when a professional does the heavy lifting, and provide you with a vacation that reflects everything you’ve dreamed of

Meet Ryan Cowden
Giving you the confidence to explore and enjoy destinations in a different way.
Hi there, my name is Ryan Cowden and I am the founder and owner of Avid Nomad Travel.
I’ve always looked at the world a bit differently, from a young age. When I was 7 years old, my grandparents gifted me a Jr. Almanac, igniting my curiosity for life beyond the threshold of my childhood home. I fell in love with everything from geography, culture, classical engineering, and nature. And as I grew older, I realized the gene for a quiet, sedentary life had passed me over. And when the time came for me to get out there to explore, I leaped at the chance, and travel became a lifelong, interactive education.
Avid Nomad Travel was founded to help travelers step out of their comfort zones by introducing them to new landscapes, cultures, and experiences. I work hard to create truly unique travel experiences for clients from diverse backgrounds including LGBTQ travelers. So whether you’re a novice adventurer, a seasoned jet-setter or you just need to escape, I will work with you to create a personalized itinerary that includes experiences that will fuel your own passions, desires, and curiosities.
