About Ken
My husband David Fannin and I have been traveling together since 1999 and our passion for exploration has taken them across 39 States and 13 countries. From taking planes, trains, cars, boats, and ships, to discovering new experiences like lying on a beach in Greece or hiking an active volcano in Indonesia - no adventure is too great for us. Our motto, “when travelling to places for the first time, be brave and explore!”, is inspired by Ken's life-long journey of learning and exploration. Born and raised in Arizona, he toured the world with a performing group, stayed with host families, and gained valuable insight into the cities, towns, and regions he visited. He later worked for Neiman Marcus for 24 years, traveling to New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, France, and Germany.
Meanwhile, David was born in Athens, Greece and had the pleasure of living near the original airport and watching planes take off and land. His family made it a priority to explore the country while they were there. After moving to Fort Worth, Texas with his father’s retirement from the US Air Force, David continued to travel around the world and expanded his knowledge of unfamiliar cultures and cuisines.
Together, we strive to bring travelers unforgettable experiences and make the world more accessible to everyone. Join us on our adventures around the world!

I booked a cruise to Greece in October for 9 people and was connected by Celestyal to Ken Ohlwiler. Not only did he spend time explaining everything so thoroughly, he answered ALL my questions. In addition, having to been to Greece numerous times, he has extensive knowledge of the ports, hotels, restaurants, and things to do in the area and provided great recommendations. He responds immediately to calls or emails and takes away the typical stress of travel planning from afar.He is a true pleasure to work with - Avoya is fortunate to have him represent you as an independent agent.- Carolyn B.
Friendly prompt service- Felix G.
Made a lot of efforts to make our dream vacation come through. We were stopped to buy our cruise vacationby the cruise policy that we couldn't embark at the Greek island. After the agent found out about the policy, the agent tried to help us look for other options but our itinerary was not flexible enough. Thank you for all the efforts considering our restricted itinerary.- David F.

Ken has been a major asset for us while planning a Virgin Voyages Mediterranean cruise, helping us select accommodations and tours in Barcelona and Athens before and after the cruise. We feel that he knows exactly the kinds of activities that would appeal to us.- George F.
