I love to travel, haven't been anywhere yet but i hope to use this business as an avenue to enable me cross off all the countries I have written and talked about for years. I love sports, quiet person, not so fun to be around but i am actively working to open up more to help me interact better with people. 

I was a travel agent from 1977-1988, then switched to a career in international shipping. Now that I’m retired I want to return to my passion and sell travel part time. Over the last 48 years I have traveled to more than 45 countries, taken several tours and about 18 cruises. I want to continue checking countries off my bucket list now that I have the freedom to travel anytime and anywhere. Many of my friends have recently retired and I live in a retirement community so I would like to help my friends and neighbors fulfill their travel dreams. 

I’m Cindi Sanden, founder of Awaken Travels and a luxury travel advisor with over a decade of experience. I specialize in creating bespoke journeys and offering travel coaching to help clients achieve transformative and meaningful travel experiences. Based in Tennessee, I serve as Vice President of ASTA Chattanooga and lead Keep Soddy-Daisy Beautiful, a nonprofit focused on community beautification and environmental initiatives. When I’m not planning life-enriching trips, I enjoy exploring the outdoors and traveling with my family.

Travel has been a passion of mine since my first solo trip before the age of 12! From family vacations to Hawaii and Florida, to unforgettable sports trips, I feel the best memories come from new experiences. After a 30-year career in retail,  I’m excited for my next adventure, to share my love of travel, and help others create their own incredible adventures. Whether it’s a family trip, a golf get away or a well-earned escape to the beach (Puerto Vallarta has been my winter retreat!), I’m here to make travel effortless and unforgettable. Let’s start planning your next adventure!
