Ryan said she is passionate about travel, particularly South America and Brazil, and looks forward to helping Chimu travellers and trade partners plan unforgettable holidays. 

“Travel gives us a way to see the world in a new light, understand people we’ve never met and sparks a passion for life itself. I hope to show clients that same passion though their time in Latin America and the polar regions,” she said.
