FAQs
WHAT IS AWECHIEVE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Awechieve is an online platform of digital courses and tools that teach you to plan and book your own trips, no travel agent required and no tech wizardry needed. You move through clear, step-by-step lessons at your own pace, and come out the other side with the skills and the confidence to plan your trip yourself.
WHAT IS DIY TRAVEL?
DIY travel is the art of planning and booking your own trip, with no travel agent and no pre-arranged tour. People go this route for two reasons. First, freedom: you build the trip around what *you* love, the festival, the hike, the tiny museum, the landmark that never shows up in a packaged tour. Second, control over your money: you decide where to be frugal and where to splurge, whether that's budget-smart all the way or first-class all the way. Either way, you have it your way.
IS IT WORTH IT TO LEARN DIY TRAVEL?
Yes, and here's the honest case. You're not buying one trip, you're learning a skill you'll use for the rest of your traveling life. Most people make back the cost of the course on their very first trip, so it pays for itself fast. And even if cost isn't your concern at all, there's real value in building a trip that runs at your pace, around your interests, instead of someone else's schedule.
WHAT MAKES AWECHIEVE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TRAVEL BOOKING SERVICES?
A travel agency books the trip *for* you. Awechieve teaches you to do it *yourself*, which means the trip is genuinely yours, not a package someone else assembled. No prepackaged tours, no forced schedules, no being told when to get back on the bus. And you don't need to be "good with technology" to do it, just curious about the world and willing to follow a few clear steps.
Every course is easy to follow and fully self-paced, so you move as fast or as slow as you like. Some also include a live Q&A session where you can get your specific questions answered.
HOW DO I ACCESS THE COURSES AND RESOURCES ON AWECHIEVE?
As soon as you buy a course, you'll get an email with everything you need to log in. From there, watch the lessons on any device, at your own pace, from your couch or from a café halfway around the world.
HOW CAN I GET ASSISTANCE WITH AWECHIEVE'S COURSES?
The courses are built to be self-paced, but you're never on your own. Reach out anytime through the contact form and you'll get a real, helpful answer. No question is too small.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COMPLETE A COURSE ON AWECHIEVE?
Entirely up to you. Each lesson is just a few minutes long, and the total time depends mostly on how much time you spend on the homework between sessions. Some courses are short and focused, others are more comprehensive.
ARE THERE ANY PREREQUISITES OR REQUIREMENTS TO ENROLL IN ONE OF AWECHIEVE'S COURSES?
None at all. The courses are built for beginners, so you can start fresh with zero experience.
If you're taking them separately, do the DIY Travel Planning Course before the Booking Course, since the booking steps build on the plan you create.
Want both? The Be Your Own Travel Agent course bundles planning and booking together as one package deal, bonuses included.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO ACCESS TO A COURSE?
A full 365 days from the day you register. Learn at your own pace and rewatch any lesson as many times as you want within that year.
WHAT IS A TRAVEL COACH AND HOW CAN THEY HELP?
​A travel coach is part guide, part cheerleader, someone who helps you plan trips you'll actually love and feel confident doing it. That can mean setting travel goals, building your itinerary, sorting out a budget, calming the nerves that come with planning something new, or just sharing the tips and tricks that make the whole thing smoother. The goal isn't to plan your trip for you. It's to hand you the skills so you can plan every trip after this one, too.
