About Me

Rome, Italy
Rome, Italy

Exploring hidden corners of Europe, traveling with a group of like minded women, or experiencing a luxury cruise along majestic coastlines or along European Rivers.  Your vacation is yours - it is an investment in YOU.   I am Sandy McMillen, travel writer, travel consultant and owner of Andaggio Destinations. I believe in the life changing power of travel.  I specialize in creating custom European itineraries for exploring hidden places, as well as planning group travels and Women's Travels.  I have traveled extensively and I bring my first hand knowledge of traveling and my love of history and location research to the table with my clients, helping them to plan the vacation of their dreams.   Why trust your vacation investment to faceless web sites?  Like any good investment, it is important to have a trusted adviser that can help you navigate the Internet offerings, determine the best locations and make suggestions and recommendations for your custom trip, helping you maximize the return on your vacation investment.  Working together, I can help you create and plan your own custom and unique itinerary, leaving you with a lifetime of memories and adventures to share from your extraordinary travels. 

At Andaggio Destinations, we don't just book trips - we create extraordinary client experiences for travel beyond the passport stamp.

Explore like a local

I like to travel off the beaten path - exploring new and hidden corners of countries I visit -- immersing myself in the culture, the people, the cuisine and the history.  I especially love Europe and have traveled extensively through that continent, learning the tips and the tricks of traveling safely and economically along the way.  I encourage my clients to experience the countries they visit and explore like a local.  I pay attention to the details and go the extra mile to ensure that you experience a unique and custom itinerary.  Perhaps you want to attend a culinary school in Italy, or visit Turkey like a local with a small guided group of experts.  I can find those unique trips for you!

Great trip, Sandy made it very easy and enjoyable
Reviewed By T&Z - Fort Collins, CO | Traveled to Rome ~ Italy ~ Europe
We went on a trip to three different citied in Europe and did multiple tours and activities in each. I can't imagine not having Sandy to help line this up for us. Not only was it all set up, but detailed instructions along the way. This is much needed when you're in a place you've never been.

The Best trip of our lives without a doubt! I hav
Reviewed By Sage - Franktown, CO | Traveled to Europe
Sandy was fabulous to work with. Her attention to detail is above and beyond. We took a two week trip to Europe with our two teenagers. We had very clear instructions getting from place to place down to what we should or should not tip drivers, tour guides etc. The tours she connected us with were top notch. Thanks to Sandy we had a spectacular trip and will have great memories. I highly recommend Sandy to help you plan your next trip.

Sandy Made All the Difference!
Reviewed By Amy J. - Denver, Colorado | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
I had not worked with a travel agent before and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! Sandy saved us so much money and time with her expertise. She made it easy for us (children included!). From her initial suggestions which we needed to even get started to her willingness to make changes throughout the planning process to make the perfect itinerary for us, she made it all happen within our budget. She is a wealth of knowledge and we will definitely use her again.

Biking and Barging in Germany

I'm always up for a new travel experience, so when our friends suggested we all travel to the Moselle River region of Germany and experience a bike tour while sleeping and eating on a barge - I said "let's do it!".  I'm so glad that I did.  We booked the tour for the middle of September, knowing the weather would be nice and cool and the crowds ...

Client Testimonials

Outstanding Italy Trip Thanks to Sandy!
I am never traveling again without Sandra’s expertise and connections. The quality of the companies we were blessed to have take us on our adventures cannot be understated. We did not just get transportation to a location, we received as much information as we needed and the conversations were very comfortable and educational whether a quick to or from train station /airport and hotel or multiple hour day drives to some unbelievable destinations, custom presented by some very knowledgeable and dynamic guides who provide very comfortable and clean transportation. Sandy also monitored our progress and was able to reschedule an event seamlessly so I had no interruptions . My hotels exceeded service, comfort and were located perfectly and met the needs of my wife’s limited mobility perfectly , we discussed when planning explaining needs and limitations .I am thankful to my friend that recommended Sandra and her company and know that she will make a difference in your adventures too.
