I want to use \"await\"
According to the sails documentation I act as follows: https://sailsjs.com/documentation/reference/waterline-orm/models/create
I think you should make your function async.
async(function(){ var new_place = await Place.create({...}) })();
And if you are using await you should not use callbacks. You should manage the response as explained here
Also you can check this guide of how to manage async in sail.js
