Helping you explore the world with personalized travel planning and expert guidance.

Hi! I’m Riza, the founder of Ayson Travel.

Originally from Pensacola, Florida, I spent 15 vibrant years in New Orleans after graduating from Loyola University and now call San Clemente, California home. I believe travel has the power to change lives and the world, which is why I specialize in planning trips that focus on cultural immersion, local connection, sustainability, and a spirit of adventure. As an avid scuba diver and former member of Scuba Diving Magazine's Fintest Team, I’ve tested gear for major dive brands and even spent time as a diver and naturalist in the Caribbean Tunnel exhibit at the New Orleans Aquarium of the Americas. I’m also a former fitness entrepreneur — I owned a kickboxing gym for 10 years and helped people transform their lives through health and movement. Now, I help people transform their lives through travel. From curating unforgettable journeys to supporting women-owned and local businesses across the globe, I bring intention and heart to every itinerary I create. Beyond travel, I’m a fitness enthusiast, museum lover, music festival fan, and guitar player who’s always seeking that elusive work-life balance. Life is an adventure — let’s plan yours together.
