Who We Are

Awen Advisory (ah-when) is a New York-based travel advisory born from a deep appreciation for the journey itself—not just the places discovered, but the anticipation of what lies ahead, the moments of quiet reflection, the connections we build with people and place, and the memories that linger long after.

This philosophy is rooted in experience. For over thirty years, travel has been central to both professional life and personal passion—crossing borders, navigating complexity, and learning that the best outcomes come from preparation, precision, and knowing when to adapt. That same discipline shapes how we approach every journey today: with the rigor of someone who understands that details matter, the foresight to anticipate what others overlook, and the relationships to make the exceptional possible.

Every itinerary is meticulously prepared and quietly adaptable, so you can immerse yourself in the experience while your journey unfolds with ease and meaning.

Thoughtful Travel, Seamless by Design

Your time is valuable. We protect it.

Every journey you entrust to us is more than a plan—it’s a promise. We anticipate the details, manage change with care, and stay with you from start to finish so your only focus is the experience. Our role is to shape travel with judgment, foresight, and quiet care.

  1. Design: Your intent, preferences, and desired pace inform a tailored itinerary.

  2. Confirm: Flights, transportation, hotels, and on-the-ground arrangements are secured and reconfirmed.

  3. Anticipate: Active monitoring and one point of accountability ensure continuity before and during travel.

Starting points, not set plans. We tune each journey to a destination’s rhythm—balancing the iconic with the quietly unexpected—and manage it end to end so it feels effortless.
