“We have been privileged to host talks by Ryan at LSE on several occasions in recent years. These have always attracted large audiences who have very much enjoyed Ryan’s talk and the chance to engage with him in the Q&A session. His talks have always been informative, entertaining and engaging which can be seen from how many people have listened to the podcasts!”

Alan Revel || Head of Events, LSE

“Ryan came to speak at the new Straits Clan club hosted by RGS-Singapore. He captivated the audience with his electric visuals, both of images and videos from expeditions in Nepal, and beyond. Ryan’s natural interaction with the audience after his talk meant the enjoyable Q&A lasted long into the evening.”

Oliver Worsley || Royal Geographical Society Singapore

“It was our honor to pin the Cecilia Beaux pin on your lapel and have you join the legacy list of famous explorers that have also received that honor such as Theodore Roosevelt, Jacques Cousteau and Ernst Shackleton! The Geographical Society audience loved seeing the video clips of such an adventure which you expertly filmed and presented.”

Mary Carroll Donahoe || Geographical Society of Philadelphia

“In an ever changing and shrinking world, Ryan’s life’s journey of growth, change, adaptation and exploration is perfect message for today’s students.”

Rhonan Mokriski || Salisbury School

“We were delighted to have Ryan come speak to our students at Middlesex School. He addressed all 400 of our high school students in an energetic, engaging, entertaining, and inspiring manner. We particularly appreciated his message about “multiple versions of the self”, where he reminded the students that few paths to success are straight lines.”
