About · Make room for what matters.

Hi, I'm Ryen.

Entrepreneur · Author · Traveler · TV & Podcast Guest

My grandparents, Grammy (Darlene) and Grampy (Nels), taught me that a place for everything makes room for everything else. That lesson turned into a career: I founded Simply Luxe and spent years on TV, on stage and in homes sharing it.

Along the way I kept a promise to myself to see the world. I've now been to 60+ countries, and in every one I do a headstand.

Luxe living, to me, isn't about more. It's about living well with less, traveling with intention and collecting moments instead of things. This site is where I share that next chapter: travel stories, books, and the people and places that inspire me.
