About Me

Exploring Mexico's Coasts: From Cancun to Cabo
Exploring Mexico's Coasts: From Cancun to Cabo

With over a decade of experience in the travel industry, I am the owner and manager of Awaken Travels, a full-service travel agency dedicated to crafting unforgettable journeys. Mexico holds a special place in my heart, and I have traveled extensively throughout this vibrant country. I spent a month immersing myself in the beauty of Cancun and the Riviera Maya and continue to return at least once a year to explore and rediscover its wonders.

My journeys have taken me along both of Mexico's stunning coastlines. On the Pacific side, I've visited the charming seaside towns of Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, and Mazatlán, each offering unique experiences from world-class fishing and whale watching to vibrant nightlife and rich cultural heritage. On the Caribbean side, I've explored the pristine beaches and turquoise waters of Cancun, Riviera Maya, Playa Del Carmen, Cozumel, and Tulum. Whether arriving by cruise ship or staying on land at luxurious all-inclusive resorts, boutique hotels, or private villas, I've experienced Mexico's diverse offerings firsthand.

As a Mexico Travel Specialist, I bring a wealth of personal experience and professional expertise to create unforgettable vacations tailored to your desires. I have a deep understanding of Mexico's rich history, culture, and natural beauty, allowing me to craft itineraries that go beyond the typical tourist attractions. Whether you're interested in exploring ancient Mayan ruins like Chichén Itzá and Tulum, snorkeling in the world's second-largest barrier reef, swimming in the sacred cenotes, or indulging in authentic Mexican cuisine, I can design a journey that reflects your unique interests.

My passion for romance travel has led me to specialize in destination weddings and honeymoons in Mexico. I have orchestrated numerous weddings in breathtaking settings, from beachfront ceremonies with the Caribbean Sea as a backdrop to intimate gatherings in lush jungle settings or elegant affairs in grand resorts. Our team at Awaken Travels is dedicated to handling every detail, ensuring that your special day is seamless and unforgettable.

While I possess extensive knowledge of Mexico, I believe in the power of teamwork. At Awaken Travels, our dedicated team of travel advisors works collaboratively to provide exceptional service. As the owner and manager, I oversee the agency's operations and vision, while our experienced agents focus on planning and booking your travel arrangements with meticulous attention to detail.

Mexico is a destination that offers something for every traveler. For adventure seekers, there are opportunities for zip-lining through the jungle canopy, exploring underground river systems, or diving in the crystal-clear waters of Cozumel. For those seeking relaxation, the serene beaches and luxurious spas provide the perfect escape. Families can enjoy eco-parks like Xcaret and Xel-Há, offering interactive experiences with wildlife and nature.

Our strong relationships with top suppliers, resorts, and tour operators in Mexico allow us to provide exclusive offers, upgrades, and VIP experiences. We stay up-to-date with the latest travel trends, safety protocols, and destination information to ensure that you receive the best possible advice and service.

At Awaken Travels, we are committed to providing personalized service that exceeds your expectations. We take the time to understand your travel preferences, interests, and needs, creating a customized itinerary that reflects your vision of the perfect vacation. We handle all aspects of your trip, from flights and accommodations to excursions and special experiences, so you can relax and enjoy your journey.

We also prioritize sustainable and responsible travel practices. We support local businesses, promote cultural sensitivity, and encourage environmentally friendly tourism to preserve the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Mexico for future generations.

Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, a group adventure, or a corporate retreat, we are here to make your travel dreams a reality. Let us share with you the magic of Mexico and help you create memories that will last a lifetime.

She Took Care Of Everything
Reviewed By Sean - Chandler, AZ | Traveled to
We wanted to go to an All Inclusive - Adult Only - Resort in Jamaica. Way too many options for a non traveler like me to know what is good & real vs. a touristy rip off. Not only did she show us the "Good Places"... But she got EVERYTHING lined up. She got us freebies, and discounts, and most importantly: She monitored our travel. We were never "alone" during our transition into and then out of complete and total relaxation! Well done Cindi!

My Key to a Great Vacation
Reviewed By No Nickname - Arizona | Traveled to
I am a do-it-yourselfer but that no longer applies to my vacation plans. After spending over a week trying to find a workable combination of airfare, hotel, car and Disney Land tickets I finally cried uncle and set out to find a travel agent. I reached out to 10 agents and no one came near the responsiveness and understanding of exactly what I was looking for except for Cindi Sanden at Awaken Travels. Cindi gave me many opportunities and wound up saving me over $1,200 (in addition to a lot of headaches) for my trip. She is now my one and only travel agent. I will never try to do it on my own again with her in my corner!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Honeymoon to Jamaica
Reviewed By Stacie - Virginia | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Cindi was very responsive and helpful. She helped us plan our honeymoon to Jamaica. The only down fall from the trip was not having seat assignments together on the flights.
Cindi Sanden responded
"Thank you so much for taking the time to review our services Stacie. I am sorry to hear you were disappointed that you were unable to sit together on your flight. Because of your budget for the trip your reservation was for Basic Economy Flights and unfortunately when you book these budget flights you are unable to pre-select your seats. It was my true pleasure helping you plan your Honeymoon to Jamaica and I wish you joy and happiness in your marriage and life. "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials

First Overseas Honeymoon Made Easy
Having never been overseas, my husband and I turned to Awaken Travels for help planning our honeymoon to Italy. Vijal and Teresa worked together to make sure we had a great itinerary and always was willing to answer any questions we had. Everything from our transfers, to our hotel stay to our tours went seamlessly. Teresa answered any questions via text despite the time difference and being across the world. Teresa even answered a question I had on Christmas night when my husbands name was incorrect on his boarding pass! Then her and Vijal had a one on one call with me the day before we left to go over any and all questions we had. We missed our connecting flight due to delays and Teresa called the transfer company on behalf of us to make sure we would still have a ride at midnight. We would definitely use them again to plan our next trip because they take so much of the stress and planning off of you!
