About Andrea Andrade
About Andrea Andrade
Today I manage the Luxury Travel Division of Platinum Journeys, but my love of travel started early.
As a child on cross country trips with my family here in the U.S. We would explore various National Parks, the lights of Las Vegas, deserts, prairies, mountains and natural wonders. I believe that this is where my love of wildlife started. Buffalo, wolves, bears and elk flourish across America, and so did I.
Then we went to Mexico, home of my father. I tasted my way through Grandma’s kitchen and experienced local wildlife. Pumas, lynxes, coyotes, armadillos, monkey species and lizards awaited me as we visited many parts of Mexico. The beautiful beaches of Mazatlán and the Yucatan backed up to the jungle combining my favorite experiences of animal wildlife and the beach.
Over thirty-five years later, my love of wildlife and beach comes into play everyday as I plan bespoke vacations to Africa, Thailand and Viet Nam, Galapagos, Croatia, Greece, Bali and Japan.
My experience in Europe consists of many visits to Croatia, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, Turkey, Prague.
I am definitely well travelled and able to assist in almost any travel need you may have.
If you tell me what kinds of experiences you enjoy, I will make it happen. I will provide you with the best tour guides, drivers, and hosts at every destination to provide you with the vacation of your dreams. I will provide you with insider tips and recommendations so you can truly travel “like a local”.

Just as Thailand’s people, cuisine and wildlife excites me, other parts of Asia are equally enchanting. The beauty of Viet Nam surprises many. You have an “Old World Feel” in the north, the beauty of Ha Long Bay and a foodie experience while riding a Vespa in Saigon. Japan’s modern and old culture combine for an exciting trip throughout the country.
Galapagos is all about wildlife. Sea life and land life combine to make Galapagos an experience that is not duplicated anywhere else in the world. I can plan a private excursion or a small group tour with gourmet dining that will be a trip to remember the rest of your life. All you must do is get dressed in the morning and we will do the rest.

Testimonials
France in October was amazing!
Hi Andrea, Just had to write and tell you what a fabulous trip to France you organized for our 50th wedding anniversary. Every detail was flawlessly planned as usual. I do want to let you know that all of our accommodations were wonderful and full of surprises. Your recommendation of the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris was exceptional. We had to add an additional night as we didn’t want to leave. I’d really like to acknowledge the two tour guides we had in Nice and Cannes, Frank and Simon. They were so knowledgeable and such delightful companions. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them. I hope you will pass that on to their superiors. Once again Andrea, thank you for making our travels so effortless and creating such great memories. We are your biggest fans. Until next time, David and Judy Perry.

Always available, always has a resolution when in a bind. And enjoyed a trip she made for me last year. Air, hotel, car – all went smoothly.

Thanks for helping us plan our trip to Croatia
Just a quick note to say “thanks” for helping us plan our recent trip to Croatia. The itinerary was well thought out, and we really enjoyed Zagreb, Plitvice and the coastal cities. The cruise with Unforgettable Travel from Split to Dubrovnik was equally fun and interesting. We appreciate all you did for us and look forward to working with you again in the future. Speaking of which: Do you have expertise with Iceland and Norway? That’s a trip we are thinking about in the coming years.
Have a great week, and thanks again!
