Company Spotlight: How Awayward is Making International Travel Safer
Getting sick while traveling is more common than most people realize. Whether it's food poisoning, a fever, an injury, or an unexpected illness, navigating a foreign healthcare system can quickly become one of the most stressful parts of any trip. You may not speak the language, know where to go, or trust the care you're receiving.
In this Company Spotlight, Dan sits down with Max Levine, CEO and Founder of Awayward, a virtual healthcare platform designed specifically for international travellers. Max shares the personal travel experiences that inspired him to launch the company and explains why calling your family doctor back home often isn't enough when local prescriptions, licensing, and healthcare systems come into play.
They discuss how Awayward connects travelers with vetted, English speaking doctors who are licensed in the country they're visiting, providing trusted medical care wherever the journey takes them. The conversation also looks at why travel healthcare is becoming increasingly important for tour operators, travel advisors, employers, hotels, and study abroad programs as part of their duty of care.
Max also discusses where AI can improve the travel healthcare experience, where human expertise remains essential, and why access to trusted medical care is becoming an important part of the overall travel experience.
Whether you're a frequent traveler or work in the travel industry, this conversation offers practical insights into one of the most overlooked aspects of travel planning.
