The Ryder Life

I’m Lynn, an American who traded the beaches of New Jersey for the rolling green hills of Ireland.With my 4 little explorers—Levi, Wylder, Hadley, and Cali—we’ve made our home in a cozy 300 year old dwelling which we converted into our countryside cottage.

Here in Ireland, life has a slower rhythm. We embrace organic, healthy living—growing some fruit & vegetables,foraging in the hedgerows,& enjoying the beauty of the countryside, while dreaming of one day having our own little mini organic farm with goats and pigs. And when we’re not soaking up home life, we’re off discovering new places across Ireland, Europe,& the world, all while still being a Jersey girl at heart.

Most of our travels are just me & the kids, though sometimes family tags along for special trips. Whether it’s wandering castle ruins, cooking with fresh local ingredients, or road-tripping across Europe, it’s always an adventure

If you love travel, nature, and that cozy Irish countryside lifestyle, join us.
