Another Word For Travel (AWFT) was born out of one simple but powerful idea: travel should feel different. We’ve all seen the cookie-cutter itineraries—mass-produced trips thrown together by people who’ve never actually left their comfort zone. That’s not who we are. We created AWFT to disrupt the traditional travel model and build something intentional, personal, and life-affirming.
We believe that travel isn’t just about going places—it’s about feeling something.
It’s about connection, transformation, and joy. That’s why our motto is:
“We don’t book travel, we design experiences.”
At AWFT, we specialize in curated group trips that feel like coming home. We've led unforgettable journeys to more than 25 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. Every destination is hand-picked. Every itinerary is thoughtfully crafted. Whether you're exploring the streets of Accra, soaking up the energy of Tokyo, or hiking through the mountains of Peru, you’ll know you're traveling with a purpose—and with a community that feels like family.
Our goal is to make world-class travel accessible. We design experiences that don’t break the bank but never cut corners when it comes to quality. Every traveler—no matter their budget—receives top-tier service, personalized attention, and the kind of trip they’ll talk about for years.
Once you travel with AWFT, you're not just a guest—you’re family. And once you're in the AWFT family, you'll never want to leave.
