WE ARE AVNEA
How it all started
After many adventures around the world and over 10 years of (solo) travel experiences, AVNEA’s founder Lotus felt the need to share her unique finds with others. Bringing people together while exploring the world was what she envisioned. AVNEA’S first seeds were planted and trips were created. In the meantime, Lotus became fully nomadic herself and left everything behind in Amsterdam to live a more free and fulfilling life.
Realising and experiencing the benefits of travel for our wellbeing and feeling a call to more meaningful connections and experiences, AVNEA was born.
Within the trips we create at AVNEA, we aim to make beautiful connections, work together with locals and stay far away from mainstream tourist destinations.
At Avnea, every experience has a purpose
Whether it’s to get out of your comfort zone, reconnect with nature, learn a new skill or find a better work life balance, we create our trips for you to become a more empowered version of yourself while supporting and connecting with others.
What we offer
We do that by offering 3 types of trips in different extraordinary destinations around the globe.

It’s extremely important for us to travel with people with good intentions and an overall good vibe. We are looking for people who want to share, grown and support. That’s why we always have a call with anyone who wants to join.
Connection
We love to connect and share. We add different elements to our trips where we share on different levels. By the end of the every experience meaningful connections/friendships have been shaped.

We like to add a little adventure into every trip we organize. Whether it’s a (volcano)hike, ziplining, horse riding, We always like to add an adventurous element to shake things up a little and feel a life.
Purpose
Every experience has a purpose purposeful because you learn something new, or share things, deeper your knowledge, or meet like-hearted others. We also invite your to set your personal intention for the experience.
