In my twenties, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to backpack around the world. It was an incredible experience. I rode the Trans-Siberian Railway, trekked around India, and spent months in Southeast Asia and China. This was not the type of travel I wrote about for Andrew Harper.

Andrew Harper is a luxury travel agency that specializes in exclusive, one-of-a-kind experiences. As a staff writer for their print magazine and website, I wrote about glamorous hotels, private jets, and Michelin-starred restaurants. It was a world apart from my earlier adventures.
