WELCOME TO
TRAVEL WITH AWESTRUCK
A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER
Welcome to Travel with Awestruck!
When I first started my career in travel, I could not have imagined what we would go on to build here at Travel with Awestruck. What began as a deep love for exploring the world has grown into something far more meaningful: a thriving, award-winning agency built on heart, hustle, and a powerful sense of community.
Over the years, I have had the honor of helping thousands of clients experience the wonder of travel. Along the way, I have forged invaluable relationships with the industry’s top suppliers, earned prestigious awards, and been invited to speak and serve on respected advisory boards. But what I’m most proud of — more than sales numbers or accolades — is the community that we have created at Travel with Awestruck.
As you know, I founded Travel with Awestruck to be a different kind of agency, an agency in which independence was respected, advisors were well-trained and supported, and client service was placed above all else. I wanted to build a supportive community that was obsessively focused on helping independent advisors build their businesses — not supporting the bottom-line in anonymous back offices.
If you had told me that we would achieve that goal in under three years, I would not have believed you. Today, we have a thriving team of independent advisors, many of which have seen double digit growth in their businesses every year since joining Travel with Awestruck. Our community is diverse, filled with advisors of different backgrounds, specialties, and experience levels. What we all share is an unyielding dedication to supporting our clients and supporting one another to thrive.
Travel with Awestruck isn’t just a name. It is a way of doing business. It is a team of passionate, professional travel advisors who champion one another. We believe in kindness, generosity, and collaboration. We celebrate each other’s wins, and we lift one another up when challenges arise. In this space, there is no competition; there is only community.
As a new advisor, you are not just joining an agency. You are becoming part of something special: a supportive, empowering network of individuals who believe in putting people first and delivering extraordinary experiences with integrity and care. You will learn from leaders and veterans who are still actively booking travel, who understand what it takes to thrive in this business, and who are deeply invested in your growth.
Our tagline, “You mean the world to us, so let us show you the world,” is not just about our clients. It is about you, our advisor community, as well. You matter here. Your voice matters. Your success matters.
Cultivating that success begins today as you enter our advisor support center. As you know, first-class service is the foundation of everything we do. We aim for excellence in every detail. With our carefully selected supplier network, smart systems, and commitment to high-touch service, we deliver awe-inspiring travel experiences that leave a lasting impression.
The contents of this portal are designed to empower you to fulfill that promise to our clients. Developed based on our advisor community's combined decades of experience, this portal contains everything we wish we would have known when we were just starting out. Its contents have been built through years of trial and error and hard lessons that we learned, so that you wouldn't have to.
Inside, you will find:
That said, no one training can teach you everything you need to know about how to be successful in this industry. Please remember to take advantage of continuing education opportunities, including:
Know that our door is always open for you, and do not hesitate to reach out with questions.
Thank you for being a part of Travel with Awestruck. I am honored to guide you through this journey, and cannot wait to see the incredible businesses you will each go on to build.
To travel that awes,
Jenene
