About Awakened Voyages
For the love of beautiful places.
Awakened Voyages is an independent travel publication devoted to beautiful destinations and the pleasure of discovering somewhere new.
From boutique hotels and memorable restaurants to destination guides and travel essentials, we share ideas for travelling well, with an appreciation for good design, local culture and the occasional indulgence.
We believe the best travel recommendations aren’t necessarily the most expensive or the most fashionable. Sometimes, they’re a family-run hotel with impeccable taste and a warm atmosphere, or a small coastal town that invites you to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasure of doing absolutely nothing.
Meet Ibtissam
Awakened Voyages was founded by Ibtissam Chakib, a British-Moroccan travel writer based in the south of England, with a lifelong love of travel and a particular weakness for beautiful hotels, good food and places full of character.
Having worked across the travel and hospitality industries, she brings both a traveller’s perspective and an insider’s understanding to the stories and recommendations featured in the publication.
