Frequently asked questions
A simple guide to understand how we work, what each service includes, what stays outside the scope, and how to take the first step with AWAYO.
01
About AWAYO
Before talking about destinations, it helps to understand how we work.
What is AWAYO?+
AWAYO is a travel design brand. We help turn a travel intention — sometimes clear, sometimes still undefined — into a concrete, coherent and possible proposal. We work through listening, curation, rhythm and applied travel judgment.
Is AWAYO a traditional travel agency?+
AWAYO does not operate as a traditional package-based travel agency. Our focus is the strategic interview, personalized orientation, curation and, when needed, full travel design. We can guide, recommend and organize decisions, but the exact scope depends on the service hired.
What does author-led travel design mean?+
It means we do not start from a fixed list of packages. We start from the traveler, their moment, the kind of experience they want to live, their budget, available time and the rhythm that makes sense. From there, we build a proposal with a clear point of view.
02
Strategic Interview + Travel Roadmap
AWAYO's entry service: a 60-minute interview and a personalised Travel Roadmap PDF to shape your trip before making important decisions.
What does the Strategic Interview + Travel Roadmap include?+
It includes a prior review of your request, a 60-minute 1:1 online interview, follow-up analysis of the trip, and a personalised Travel Roadmap PDF with a recommended direction, general route and decision criteria.
How much does it cost?+
The regular price is USD 90. During the launch period it is offered at USD 59. The price covers a single trip for one, two or up to three people sharing destination, dates and general route.
What do I receive at the end?+
A personalised Travel Roadmap PDF that brings together: a reading of your travel idea, the recommended direction and route, the distribution of days, mobility and accommodation criteria, and what to prioritise and what to avoid.
How long does delivery take?+
We send it by email within five business days after the interview.
What is not included?+
It does not include a detailed day-by-day itinerary, exhaustive research of hotels or flights, price and availability comparisons, full quotes, organised activities, bookings, ticket issuing, supplier management, unlimited revisions or support during the trip.
Does it work if I still do not know where to travel?+
Yes. In many cases, the value lies precisely there: giving shape to an idea that does not yet have one. The interview helps identify what kind of trip makes sense for your moment, energy, budget and real desire.
Is the amount discounted if I continue with a Personalized Design afterwards?+
Yes. If you hire a Personalized Design within 30 days of delivery, we discount the amount paid for the Strategic Interview + Travel Roadmap.
03
Salidas de Autor
Small group trips, designed and accompanied by AWAYO from start to finish.
What is a Salida de Autor?+
It is a group trip with limited spots, designed and accompanied by AWAYO: a fixed date, a small group, prior preparation and an admission process before confirming your spot. Since the proposal is already developed, it does not start with an individual Travel Roadmap.
How is it different from the Strategic Interview?+
The Strategic Interview is individual and starts from your specific case. Salidas de Autor are group experiences already designed by AWAYO, with a set date and group size.
Are there trips available now?+
We are preparing the first trips. You can see the status of each one in the Experiences section of the site.
04
Bookings, payments and scope
Clarity is also part of the experience. Here is what is useful to know before moving forward.
Does AWAYO book flights, hotels or activities?+
The Travel Roadmap does not include bookings, ticket issuing or hiring. In a Personalized Design or a Salida de Autor, any additional management must be expressly detailed within the scope and conditions of the service.
Does AWAYO accompany me during the trip?+
The Strategic Interview + Travel Roadmap ends with the delivery of the PDF. Accompaniment during the trip is not included in that service; it can be part of a Personalized Design or a Salida de Autor, depending on the case.
What happens if I want changes after receiving the PDF?+
Delivering the Travel Roadmap closes that stage. If you need adjustments, extensions or a deeper development, they are assessed within a Personalized Design.
How do I pay?+
You can pay in Argentine pesos at the exchange rate informed at the time of payment, by bank transfer, Mercado Pago or international card via Astropay or PayPal. The Strategic Interview is paid before the session.
Do you issue an invoice or receipt?+
Yes. The corresponding payment receipt is issued.
Can I change the date of my interview?+
Yes, you can request a free reschedule by notifying us at least 72 hours in advance. Changes requested with less notice, and no-shows, are subject to the Terms of Service.
What happens if AWAYO needs to cancel the interview?+
You can choose a new date or request a refund of the amount paid.
Is the payment refundable?+
Cancellations and refunds are governed by the Terms of Service and by the regulations applicable to distance contracting.
Can I hire the service from another country?+
Yes. The service can be hired from any country, as long as we can coordinate the schedule, the payment method and work properly on the requested destination.
Is the interview in person or online?+
It is online, via Zoom, on the agreed day and time. Once your session is confirmed you receive the access link. If there is a technical difficulty, we can agree on another platform.
05
Before you start
A few answers to know if AWAYO fits what you are looking for.
Who is a good fit for working with AWAYO?+
People who do not want to plan a trip only by piling up recommendations. Travelers looking for a more thoughtful experience, with a better pace, less noise, more coherence and an honest view of the destination.
Who might it not be ideal for?+
For someone looking purely for the lowest price, an immediate closed package, or traditional full-service management without taking part in shaping the trip.
How do I start?+
You can book a Strategic Interview from the corresponding page, write to us through contact, or explore the Salidas de Autor if you are interested in joining a group trip already designed by AWAYO.
