OUR STORY

Behind Away,
a couple of travellers.

Away is the story of Javier and Guada: a couple bound, before anything else, by the very same longing to discover the world. More than six years ago, chatting in a bar between travel anecdotes, they gave shape to an idea they had long carried within — turning their way of travelling into their way of living.

Both came from a restless, entrepreneurial spirit, with several ventures behind them. But this time they chose to pour themselves into what truly moves them: to travel, to discover and to accompany others on that adventure. And so, together, the dream that is Away today began to take shape.

The road was not an easy one. The pandemic struck tourism head-on and put the project to the test. They did not give up: they kept travelling together and looking after the travellers who trusted in them. From that shared perseverance, Away Travel Designer was officially born — their most personal venture yet.

Today they still design every journey together, first-hand and with the same discerning eye. A small, deeply personal agency, for those who know that travelling is far more than moving from one place to another.

Co-founder of Away and a Travel Designer through and through.

He has been immersed in luxury tailor-made travel since 2018: he knows the Serengeti trackside, the lodges that never appear in the guidebooks and the corners of Asia and Latin America that reveal themselves only through travelling in earnest. He designs every route with the discernment of someone who has lived it before you.
