Freda J. Ryland

I’m Freda J. Ryland, a travel writer passionate about uncovering the hidden beauty of the world. I’ve been fortunate enough to explore incredible places, immersing myself in their stories and the people who make them unique. Through my books, I want to take you beyond the ordinary and offer a personal, meaningful perspective on travel.

I’m always on the lookout for those quiet, unexpected moments—whether it’s a hidden alley, an unforgettable meal, or a surprising piece of history. My guides mix practical advice with personal stories, inspiring you to create your own travel memories.

My recent book, Utah’s Best-Kept Secrets, shows how I approach travel writing. It’s more than a guidebook; it’s a journey into Utah’s lesser-known spots, filled with hidden gems and tips to experience the state in a way few travelers do.

When I’m not writing, I’m planning my next adventure or reflecting on the ones I’ve had. I’d love for you to join me on this journey.

Stay tuned for updates on upcoming releases, and let’s explore the world, one chapter at a time.
