Roseann Ridaoui
Global Travel Advisor
While some people zoom in on a GPS, Roseann Ridaoui folds open a map like she’s beginning a puzzle. The creases, the corners, the handwritten notes from past trips — to her, these aren’t just directions, they’re possibilities.
Roseann’s love for travel runs deep. It’s not just the places she’s been — 24 countries and counting — but the way she moves through them. Slowly. Curiously. Intentionally. Whether she’s wandering through the backstreets of Lisbon or bartering in a local market in Thailand, her joy lives in the details — the small moments most people miss.
She once spent a year living in Russia, teaching and helping children. That experience left a mark on her — a reminder that travel is not about escape, but about connection. Culture. Compassion.
And then, one day, she picked up a tennis racket. That was the beginning of a new kind of adventure — the one where she met her husband, Mo Ridaoui. Two people with very different paths, drawn together by the same values: discovery, movement, and meaning.
Today, Roseann blends her passion for travel with the rhythm of tennis. Together with Mo, she’s part of the heartbeat of Tennis Destination — creating journeys where the beauty of a place is matched only by the power of the experience.
She still refuses to use GPS. But somehow, she always finds the way.
“Every journey is a puzzle. The people, the places, the unexpected — they’re the pieces I live for.”

You can tell a lot about someone by how they travel. Roseann Ridaoui doesn’t rush through airports or scroll through itineraries. She walks with purpose, eyes wide open, map in hand — and joyfully gets lost on purpose.
Travel has always been more than movement for Roseann. It’s been her greatest teacher, her most faithful mirror. From volunteering with children in Russia to exploring 24 countries across the globe, she has always chosen experiences over comfort, stories over schedules.
Her love for maps isn’t just aesthetic. It’s ritual. She traces each line with her finger, imagining what she’ll find — not just landmarks, but people, flavors, unexpected beauty. For Roseann, every journey is a chance to be transformed.
Tennis came later in her life, but when it arrived, it came with Mo — her husband and partner in both travel and love. On court and off, they are a team — blending her eye for exploration with his fire for the game.
Today, Roseann brings her sensitivity, warmth, and global insight to the soul of Tennis Destination. She’s the one making sure every journey feels less like a trip and more like a story you’ll never forget.
Because for her, it was never about just getting there. It’s about how you feel once you arrive.
