AWE365 About Us

The two founders of AWE365, Luke and Nathan, met when doing a snowboarding season in Whistler, Canada in 2004 and have been adventure buddies since. We set up AWE365 in 2013 to share our passion for action sports and adventure travel.

Our other partners – the two Mark’s – are as passionate about the outdoors, travel and adventure as we are. Collaboratively we have more than 50 years experience in the adventure travel industry, covering everything from writing to advertising sales, SEO to social media and website building to video editing.

A big reason for setting up AWE365 is that just like you we want to do more of the sports we love. We want to travel, have adventures and do more of everything from skydiving to scuba diving. So when we are not at our desks, we are probably doing extreme sports and having adventures of our own.

Goal of AWE365

Our aim is to build the largest global network of adventure holidays, vacations, active day trips and action sports worldwide. To provide impartial information, reviews from personal experience and advice from our own adventures.

Ultimately we want every adventure, everywhere to be on AWE365. We want to give you all of the options. To help you arrange your next trip, to find an experience, to learn a new action sport or to travel to less visited parts of the world.

We don’t want you to pay over the odds for your adventures and we want activity providers to be paid the full booking amount. For that reason, we have chosen not to charge commission on bookings that happen through AWE365. This means you get the best price and the suppliers are not losing a portion of their income.

We want to offer every adventure, everywhere. So we offer a free way for all adventure providers to promote their trips without paying a penny. If they wish to pay for upgraded advertising they can, but our goal is to give you maximum choice, so we don’t want companies not to join just because they cannot afford to.

What is AWE365?

AWE represent Air, Water and Earth – the essential ingredients for outdoor action and adventure. Without air and the wind that blows, water in its many forms and earth with its ups and downs, adventure sports would be pretty dull.

365 obviously signifies every day of the year. It’s about getting out and having adventures in all seasons, making the most of your life and of everyday. For that reason we also use the hashtag #AdventuresEveryday.

But AWE or in this case ‘awe’ also has another meaning. The definition of awe on Dictory.com is, “an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration, fear, etc., produced by that which is grand, sublime, extremely powerful, or the like.”

When you apply this to the great outdoors it is the awe you feel towards thundering waves, towering mountains or thick jungle. And if you have adventures or do action sports in these environments it is awe-inspiring. Or as some would rather say, “awesome…
