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 across 6 continents and 54 countries.
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.
