Travel has been my lifelong passion ever since I embarked on a student exchange to Vancouver, Canada, at just 14 years old. That transformative journey taught me the thrill of exploration, the beauty of cultural immersion, and the art of crafting meaningful experiences.
Fast forward to today, and I’m the proud founder of Andrea Martin Travel, where I specialise in creating tailor-made itineraries that turn travel dreams into reality. With a wealth of experience in the travel industry, I’ve worked in various roles, from consulting in a bustling retail store to assisting in emergencies at Melbourne Airport. These experiences have shaped my ability to handle complex travel needs with care and precision.
What I Do Best
My clients know me for my kind-natured, above-and-beyond approach. What sets me apart is more than just my title - it's my genuine commitment to crafting journeys that are uniquely yours. Whether it’s planning a luxury cruise, a hiking adventure, or a family road trip, I thrive on creating itineraries that are as unique as you are. My meticulous attention to detail ensures your trip is seamless, stress-free, and filled with unforgettable moments.
Why Clients Love Working With Me
My clients appreciate my dedication, reliability, and knack for finding those hidden gems that elevate a trip from great to extraordinary. I take pride in being with you every step of the way, from the initial planning stages to your safe return home. It’s this commitment to personal service that has earned me loyal repeat clients and the honour of receiving the ‘Above & Beyond Award’ at the Travel Partners conference in Singapore in 2022.
My Adventures & Style
2024 was a year of incredible adventures for me, each enriching my ability to guide my clients. I sailed through the glaciers of Alaska on a Seminar at Sea with Norwegian Cruise Line, snorkelled in the turquoise waters of Croatia, and spent six unforgettable weeks traveling the world. Highlights included Christmas in New York, New Year’s Eve in Washington, D.C., hiking the rugged Scottish Highlands, and cruising the Mediterranean.
I have a soft spot for Europe and North America, where the mix of history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes never fails to inspire me. Whether it’s enjoying fresh tapas in the Spanish countryside, wandering through charming Italian villages, or hiking scenic trails, I bring a wealth of firsthand knowledge to my planning process.
Top Bucket List Adventure
Travel has taken me to amazing places, but my bucket list continues to grow! Road tripping through Utah’s breathtaking canyon region and exploring South America’s iconic sites are at the top of my dream adventures.
Why Choose Me?
If you’re looking for a travel professional who listens, cares, and delivers, I’m here to help. My flexible, mobile setup means I can work with you no matter where you are in Australia or where my travels take me. Together, we’ll create a journey that matches your unique interests, style, and budget.
Let’s turn your travel dreams into unforgettable realities!

Having Andrea to organise our travel has been the best experience. Her patience, expertise and knowledge are truly exceptional. All I do is give her a hint of what we like doing and approximate dates when we can get away, and she comes up with really great ideas, deals and choices for us. Then after we pick one she puts it all together with additional suggestions to give us a great holiday. As well as providing the security of knowing she is available if we need any extra help or advice along the way. I can't recommend Andrea highly enough as a very experienced Travel Expert with the best communication and willingness to always assist you.

Andrea has been very helpful and accommodating for us as we plan our trip to the Mediterranean and Prague. She has all the little tips to safe and hassle free travelling... especially when you are past middle aged! I would recommend Andrea to anyone.

Our family enjoyed an incredible 2 weeks in Vietnam. I spoke to Andrea over the phone & gave her all our "must do's". Soon after we received a super detailed itinerary. We appreciated the in-home visit when Andrea gave us our travel documents & went through the trip in great detail. Everything about our holiday was amazing. We would absolutely recommend Andrea to anyone wanting to help to plan their dream adventure.

Andrea has become my bestie! Overseas travel is a privilege and a treat if everything goes well but it’s important to get things organized in advance. With Andrea’s advice and help I have been just sooo much more relaxed and confident. Everyone should have an Andrea bestie!

Andrea was very pleasant to speak with. She was patient with my somewhat tricky connections and shopped around to get me a good deal on my flights. I would recommend her.

I went to New Zealand to spend a couple of weeks with some old friends. It is only a short hop but these days nothing is as simple as it used to be and I really appreciated Andrea’s advice and assistance. It was good to know also that she was there for me if anything went wrong. Now I’m looking forward to a bigger adventure with more help from Andrea.

Andrea planned our 6 week honeymoon to America & Canada in 2023. She made the process of such a big trip so easy and stress free! Cannot recommend more highly. From plane tickets, rental car, to all our attractions that were then presented to us in hard copy as well as digitally. Our highlight was definitely a helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon which included a champagne picnic as the sun was setting. Promptly responded to all of our questions and queries and was flexible with meet up times etc. during the planning process. 10/10
