Hello !
It'’s great to have you here! I’m Ibtissam, Project Manager by day and storyteller by night.
I’m also a mindfulness advocate with a serious case of wanderlust. I love chasing sunsets, climbing mountains and coffee shops!
I created Awakened Voyages to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and awaken your adventurous side (because we all have one). Whether you are a solo traveller, a full-time worker or a thrill-seeking family, you will find everything here from hiking adventures to road trips to wellness holidays but the emphasis will always be on travelling slowly, letting go of expectations and being enchanted by every moment. I hope you feel inspired to take a break from your busy schedule and follow your passions.
