What does full service travel design really look like? 

01. Understanding your vision

discovery

Click the "Work With Us" button below, choose your travel advisor, and submit your trip request form (or email us at info@travelwithawestruck.com).

The first step is all about listening. We schedule an initial consultation call to get to know:
  • Your travel history
  • What experiences excite you
  • What you want your travel to feel like
  • Group milestones and dynamics
  • Timing, flexibility, and logistical constraints

Luxury travel starts with clarity. By getting to know you, we help translate your preferences into a distinctive vision and create a travel profile that guides every decision we make, evolving as we get to know each other over time.

02. desigining your perfect itinerary

During the design process, we leverage our network of thousands of global partners developed over years of experience to craft a custom itinerary that reflects you.

Our travel advisors:
  • Select carefully vetted accommodations
  • Map out activities and experiences that best fit your vision
  • Layer in exclusive access, amenities, and curated moments
  • Arrange transit, including integrating private aviation and charters as appropriate
  • Ensure pacing allows for both structure and spontaneity

The result is a proposal that turns your outline into a thoughtfully choreographed journey.

  • Feedback from you and your group
  • Partner availability and seasonal considerations
  • Logistical needs like transfers, flights, and entry permits

This step ensures the final itinerary is perfectly aligned with your goals and reality before you commit to moving forward.

Jenene is one of a kind! Undoubtedly, the best travel partner our family and company have experienced. Personally, I’ve been working with Jenene for over a decade. Her commitment to providing exceptional customer service is unrivaled. What’s so unique is that it’s just part of her, she’s as authentic as they come. I’m not surprised her business has grown the way it has, she’s passionate, smart, savvy and knows her industry and loves her customers. When Jenene is involved in planning our corporate reward trips and/or our family vacations I have great peace of mind...and that is rare these days. I cannot thank her enough for the countless times she’s confirmed every fine detail, come to our rescue, fulfilled our crazy requests, and gone WAY above and beyond!! The added value you will receive by working with Jenene is truly priceless!

We will never plan another vacation on our own. Jenene planned a flawless and seamless once in a lifetime trip to Italy for our honeymoon. The best hotels in the best locations, private drivers, first class trains, the best tour guides and we didn’t waste a minute standing in a line. Finally, she basically rented out an entire lemon farm for us and the family taught us how to cook some of their family recipes. It was worth every penny. Rome, Florence, Positano in that order! We can’t wait for Jenene to plan our next trip. Thank you for your attention to every detail and your thoughtful design. You’re a rockstar Jenene!

As Vice President of a successful organization and a lover of travel, I and my company have been on several trips over many years for both business and personal reasons. Jenene and Travel With Awestruck have proven to be the reason our trips are so enjoyable from start to finish. Every detail is taken into consideration. Jenene and her staff really care about those they are working with, whether taking care of a larger group of 200+ people or smaller intimate groups of 4-6 people. The personal touch is why we keep coming back to Travel With Awestruck year after year. Jenene’s knowledge and insight of the places we are traveling to have been invaluable to us. I have and will continue to recommend Travel With Awestruck to any individual or organization who is looking to make travel arrangements. Thank you, Jenene and Staff, for always taking care of me and my colleagues at Ohio State Waterproofing.

Jenene was incredible to work with and made planning our honeymoon stress-free. Her knowledge and experience were impressive as she helped us build an itinerary of world-class accommodations and over the top activities at the best prices possible. Even when we had to cancel our trip at the last minute due to a family situation, she made that process simple for us and began right away to rebuild our trip with new dates. Every one of her recommendations was a home-run, and we had the trip of a lifetime. Using Jenene is a no-brainer.

Jenene is the best! I have used her for a few couples vacations, for a
few group trips and a bachelorette party. She made everything so easy and always recommends the best hotels and excursions based on the type of trip you are looking for. She goes above and beyond to make every trip special and unique. I can't see myself ever going on any vacation again without asking for her help.

When I was ready to plan my destination wedding, I knew there was no one else to go to, she is the only person I trust to help me make sure everything is perfect! You are really missing out on having your best possible vacation without speaking with Jenene first.

We can't say enough good things about our experience with Jenene and Travel with Awestruck. Jenene helped us plan a trip of a lifetime across Italy, and from beginning to end everything was choreographed perfectly. From hotels, to transportation, to excursions, to meals, everything was stress-free. Even when our mid-trip train taking us to our next destination was cancelled, due to an impromptu strike, Jenene and her team were able to seamlessly get us on another train at the same time and we didn't have to lift a finger. We would highly recommend!
