Owner & Travel Specialist

Hi, my name is Cindi, and I’m the proud owner and manager of Awaken Travels.

Our agency is dedicated to crafting exceptional travel experiences for clients around the globe. When you connect with us, I make sure you’re matched with the best agent for your particular trip, drawing on our team’s expertise to deliver a personalized and seamless experience. Whether it’s myself or another specialized agent, you’ll always be working with someone who has in-depth knowledge and a passion for making your travel dreams a reality.

Personally, I specialize in luxury small ship cruises, river and expedition journeys, adults-only vacations, and bespoke travel experiences. I’m especially fond of Virgin Voyages and Viking Cruises for their sophisticated, adult-focused atmospheres and top-tier amenities. While I have a special love for Fiji, which I’ve visited twice, my passion now lies in curating luxurious and exclusive travel options that allow our clients to explore the world in style.

At Awaken Travels, our team’s expertise spans all types of travel, including Destination Weddings, Corporate and Group Travel, and so much more. We pride ourselves on our ability to book the world, handling everything from romantic escapes to large-scale corporate events and family vacations. The only type of travel we don’t handle is flight-only bookings, but for everything else, we’ve got you covered.

Since founding Awaken Travels in 2015, I’ve remained committed to ongoing education, regularly attending conferences and industry events to stay at the forefront of travel trends.

My team and I are dedicated to providing the latest insights and best options for every kind of trip.

Based in Tennessee, I live with my husband Nate, our daughter Toria, and our beloved collection of fur-babies and chickens. We look forward to helping you discover the world in a way that’s uniquely tailored to you!
