About Andrea

Andrea DeNucci always knew she wanted to travel internationally, the problem for her was figuring out the best time to go and how to make it happen. With everything that life entails (school, work, pets, money, etc.), it was hard to find the perfect time to go. Growing up, her family traveled frequently within the United States but never overseas.

Then in February of 2014, she made the best decision of her life and made her first solo international trip to Thailand!! The trip was life-changing for her and she is so happy she took the leap and went!!

Andrea cannot wait to see where life takes her next and hopes for many more years of life-changing trips ahead.
