Awaken Travel Club | Arizona Chapter
Led by Maren Rosendahl. A place to come together and share stories about the places you have been, the destinations you dream of, and the experiences that inspire you.
Anthem, Arizona
The Escape Society is Arizona's home in the Awaken Travel Club. It is a place where people come together to share stories about the places they have been, the destinations they dream of visiting, and the experiences that inspire them.
Expect fun field trips and local adventures throughout our amazing state and city, plus the kind of bucket-list, off-the-beaten-path trips that turn into the stories you tell for years. Whether you are a seasoned traveler or just getting started, there is a seat for you here.
Each event has its own page with the details and how to sign up.
Swap tales of the places you have been and the trips that stuck with you
Talk through the spots still on your bucket list and how to actually get there
Fun local outings and getaways throughout Arizona and beyond
