Never imagined I’d be working remotely on a $10M private island but I built and continue to evolve a business that made it possible by never letting the vision fade, even when others did.

Carne Diem Maldives 🥩🇲🇻
As I continue to travel more, it’s a pleasure to also experience both the cultures and cuisine around the world. When in the Maldives, for the first time at the end of October, we tasted and enjoyed what @Carnediem.mv is deemed as “The Best Steak in the Maldives”. You already know we had to try it for ourselves! 

The restaurant utilizes a game-changing technique of grilling, using the reverse-sear process, finishing the meat at 750°C for 90 seconds, rested with mounds of sundried salt (flown in from dry zone of Sri Lanka) and thereafter gently brushed off with a bamboo brush. The melted salt amplifies the flavour of the meat, and therefore no sauce is required, resulting in a subtle art of perfecting the finest steak 

📌 CROSSROADS; Maldives’ largest multi-island integrated leisure and entertainment destination, and also a 15-minute speed boat ride away from Velana International Airport in Male.

Best Thai spot? Best hidden gem?🥩🔥

Everyone comes to Thailand for the pad Thai. I went rogue and ordered the Thai steak with chimichurri sauce instead, and it might be one of the best things I ate all trip.

Everything is made fresh to order, so it might take a little longer than you're used to. Trust me, it's 100% worth the wait. It was so good we left an extra tip on the way out, and the menu was so stacked we'd have come back for round two if it wasn't our last day 😩

If you're anywhere near here, you have to try it.

Hey, if we haven't met yet, I'm Ryan 👋 I'm the founder of @drinktrvl and @trvl.retreats. We travel the world and bring our hydration brand with us everywhere we go. Every flavor and ingredient is inspired by a different country and its local remedies, from Korean glutathione to Ayurvedic ashwagandha. We combined electrolytes, immune support and stress relief into one zero-sugar stick pack, so you can bring the vacation home with you, or take it anywhere in the world 🌴

Dubai chocolate Pepsi… I know how that sounds. Hear me out 🤯🥤

I was fully ready to hate it. Pepsi + chocolate + pistachio sounds like a dare, not a drink. But curiosity won. First sip: crisp Pepsi, exactly how you remember it. Then on the back end, a soft, subtle hint of pistachio that lingers in the aftertaste. Not aggressive, not too sweet, not fake. Just quietly delicious in a way I did NOT see coming 🤷‍♂️

Would I drink this every day? Probably not. Would I grab another one if I saw it? Absolutely 🤝

This is why I love traveling. Every country has random grocery store experiments you'd never see on a US shelf. Half are terrible. The other half (like this one) make you rethink flavor combos entirely 🌍

I thought Coke Plus was Japan-exclusive… turns out Hong Kong has it too, and we drank it EVERY SINGLE DAY we were there 🤯🇭🇰

If you've never heard of it, Coke Plus is a functional version of Coca-Cola that's approved in Japan as a "Food for Specified Health Use." It has added dietary fiber (indigestible dextrin) that's designed to help slow fat absorption from meals and support digestion. 

That's why it's a cult favorite in Asia. People drink it with meals, after heavy dinners, or as their everyday soda. Finding it randomly in a Hong Kong convenience store? Game over. One a day minimum for the whole trip 🤝

This is why traveling internationally hits different. Whole categories of better-for-you products exist overseas that we don't even have in the US yet 🌍

The most stunning view of Hong Kong you’ll ever see 🇭🇰🌆

Skyscrapers stacked against the water. Clouds drifting between the peaks. The entire city spread out below like a postcard that keeps rewriting itself every hour as the light changes. If you’re planning a trip to Hong Kong — this view is NON-negotiable 🤍

Here’s what nobody tells you though. Even if you Uber up, take the tram, or get dropped off right at the main lookout — there’s still a LOT of walking once you’re up top. We’re talking hidden paths, side trails, and lesser-known overlooks that give you angles 99% of tourists never see because they stop at the first viewpoint and leave. 

Save this one. You’ll want it when you’re planning your Hong Kong trip 📌
.
.
P.S. What you didn’t see: 20,000+ steps in Hong Kong heat with a @drinktrvl in my water bottle the entire day. 10 years of travel taught me that the viral views are earned on foot, and the only way to actually enjoy them is to show up hydrated. Full electrolyte stack, immune support, and stress relief in one stick. Zero sugar. If travel’s part of your life, you need it in your bag 🌴

For years, posting about travel felt a little self-indulgent. The pictures, the stories, the “wish you were here” captions. I used to wonder if anyone was actually paying attention or if it was just noise on everyone else’s feed. Then one day a DM hit different → “You’re the reason I finally took the solo trip. Thank you.” And then another. And another. And it hit me — the trips weren’t just for me anymore. They were quietly giving other people permission to go

Fast forward 10 years. Still traveling. Still posting. Still cringe to some people. But now I’m doing it while building a hydration brand inspired by every country, every retreat, every late-night flight, and every lesson travel taught me along the way 🌴

If this is your sign to book the flight. Take the trip. 
Say yes to the retreat. 
Start the brand. 
Build the thing. 
Post the “cringe” content.

You never know who’s watching, and you never know whose life is quietly shifting because you decided to keep going.

P.S. What you can see: I'm sipping on the Limoncello flavor of @drinktrvl while riding this outdoor "elevator" at our hotel in Phuket, Thailand. If you plan to travel to Thailand in September, be prepared for excessive humidity so drink a lot of water, trust us! 🥤 by @ryanhgraham

The Start of Something New at TRVL (Please Read)👇🐘

🐘 Phuket Elephant Care — no riding, no tricks, no performing. We fed them, they bathed, we left. That was the whole visit
💚 10% of all proceeds from this video, or any video featuring these elephants, goes straight to the sanctuary
🛒 Website or TikTok Shop — both count, same pledge
📆 Tallied at the end of every month and sent, every month
📈 If the orders show up, that number goes up from 10%
🌍 And Thailand is just the first one

This is how we’re running it from here out. Every country we film in, we find a cause that’s actually doing the work on the ground, and the content we make there pays into it. Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, and wherever the next trip lands. Not a campaign, not a one-month thing, the way the brand wants to move as we explore different cultures.

Because a travel brand that takes from every place it visits and gives nothing back isn’t a travel brand. It’s a tourist.

And it’s still the same stick you’d buy anyway:
Good product, good causes, zero sugar 🌴

Most hydration stops at electrolytes. Here’s everything inside every TRVL stick 🇰🇷

We built TRVL on the road: red-eyes, packed itineraries and 20,000-step days through markets like Myeongdong. Plain electrolytes never covered all of it, so we went looking for the ingredients that do.

One stick, three jobs: hydration, immune support and stress relief.
🥥 Coconut Water: the natural base, rich in potassium 
🇵🇰 Pink Himalayan Salt: sodium + chloride, the minerals you sweat out most 
💧 Potassium + Magnesium Glycinate: a gentle, well-absorbed mineral pair 
🦴 Calcium + Phosphorus: rounding out the 1,830mg electrolyte stack 
🍊 Vitamin C: 990mg of daily immune support 
☀️ Vitamin D3 + K2: the sunshine vitamin and its partner, for days spent on planes and in offices 🇰🇷 Setria® Glutathione: the master antioxidant we saw everywhere in Seoul, and our secret weapon 🍵 L-Theanine: calm focus without the drowsiness 
🇮🇳 Shoden® Ashwagandha: an adaptogen for a calmer stress response 🇿🇦 Kanna: a South African botanical for a calm, positive mood 
🍹 Tastes like Vacation w/ Zero Sugar

Flights, time zones, packed days: you need more than simple electrolytes. Pack TRVL before your next trip.

The biggest fear when you travel isn’t a missed flight. It’s getting sick 👇✈️

Getting sick before a trip, in the middle of one, or the week you get home ruins everything. And let’s be real, we all have lives to get back to. Nobody wants to burn extra PTO being sick from the PTO they just took 😅

So here’s our friendly reminder before your next grocery run: your trip prep shouldn’t turn into a grocery list of supplements. One bottle for vitamin C, another for vitamin D, a tub of electrolytes, something for stress… it adds up fast, and none of it fits in your carry-on.

And the biggest thing to watch for: make sure your immune support isn’t just glorified candy 🍬

Flip the label. A lot of immune and hydration products hide sugar in there to make them taste good. But when you’re run down or trying to stay healthy on the road, sugar isn’t doing anything for you. No study says sugar supports your immune system, so why is it in a product that’s supposed to help you feel better?

That’s why TRVL is one stick with zero sugar, built from the rituals of the places we travel:
🍊 Vitamin C + D3/K2 for daily immune support
🇰🇷 Setria® Glutathione, the “master antioxidant” Korea’s beauty culture runs on
🇮🇳 Shoden® Ashwagandha, rooted in centuries of Ayurvedic tradition
🇿🇦 Kanna, a South African botanical for staying calm and balanced
🍵 L-Theanine, the calm focus found in East Asian tea culture
🏔️ Pink Himalayan salt + coconut water for real electrolytes

Before your flight, during the trip and after you land, it’s one stick and a glass of water. You’re getting more than simple electrolytes, and none of the sugar 🌴

Your last morning in a new country (in our case, Phuket), we walked the airport fridge and asked the real question: what actually works when you’re sitting in a dry cabin for 14 hours?

1. Plain water: needed, but it doesn’t replace the sodium + potassium you lose
2. Sports drinks: built for sweating, not sitting, so you don’t need the sugar
3. Coconut water: great potassium, low on sodium and everything else
4. (not featured) Tea + coffee: fine early, but time the caffeine and pair it with water

So we pack one thing that covers all four. A week of TRVL sticks fits in a crossbody, and one stick has 14 ingredients.

💧 1,830mg full electrolyte stack
🍊 Vitamin C + D3/K2 + Setria® Glutathione
🌿 Shoden® Ashwagandha + L-Theanine + Kanna
🍹 Tastes like Vacation w/ Zero Sugar
