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: We begin by listening. Your goals, pace, and personal style shape how we plan, ensuring that every itinerary reflects your preferences and priorities rather than a formula.

  2. Confirm: Once your plan is defined, we secure and verify every element—flights, transfers, hotels, and local arrangements—so there are no loose ends, only confidence.

  3. Anticipate: Our work continues in the background before and during your trip. We monitor the details, stay reachable, and manage changes smoothly so the experience remains uninterrupted.

Destinations

Starting points, not set plans. Every place offers something different, and our job is to shape it around how you like to travel: what to linger over, what to skip, and how it should feel along the way.

  • Front of Imperial Palace Guard Tower

    Tokyo: Tradition & Tomorrow

    Tokyo thrives on contrast. Quiet shrines and morning markets sit beside neon towers and design hotels. The beauty lies in the balance — precision, energy, and calm existing side by side.

  • View of the Eiffel Tower over a bridge with boats on the Seine River, trees, and buildings in Paris, France.

    Paris: The Art of Living

    Paris rewards those who slow down. Breakfast at a café, an afternoon in a museum courtyard, an evening that lingers. The city reveals its rhythm when you let it set the pace.

  • Old Man of Storr Scotland

    Scotland: Castles & Coastlines

    Scotland is best understood through its landscape. Mist, stone, and sea define the experience, from Highland glens to island shores. It is less about sights than about atmosphere and space.

  • A tropical beach with white sand, clear turquoise water, a large rock in the ocean, green foliage in the foreground, and a distant hillside with white buildings under a partly cloudy sky.

    Bermuda: Two Hours, Worlds Away

    Proximity is part of the luxury. Clear water, coral sand, and refined simplicity create an escape that feels far from home yet never complicated to reach.

  • Three llamas on grassy terrain with snow-capped mountains and clouds in the background.

    South America: Deserts to Glaciers

    A continent of scale and variety. From Chile’s Atacama to Patagonia’s edge, each region offers a different rhythm, united by open horizons and quiet grandeur.

What you can expect

  • Effortless Travel, Thoughtfully Managed

    Behind every smooth trip is a lot of careful work. We handle the logistics, watch the details, and stay a step ahead so your experience feels easy and unhurried.

  • Support That Starts Before You Depart

    Our work begins well before your journey does. From early planning through your return home, we coordinate and adjust each element so everything runs smoothly, even when plans change.

  • Reliability You Can Trust

    Whether it is a complex international itinerary or a simple weekend away, you receive the same steady attention every time. You can depend on us to manage the details properly from start to finish.

“A journey is extraordinary when every aspect is anticipated and the experience takes center stage.”
