Custom European Itinerary Specialist

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 adviser and owner of Andaggio Destinations, and 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 after publishing my first book, "Extraordinary Travels of an Ordinary Couple", chronicling the adventures of my husband and I as we explored remote corners of Europe and Central America, I started my own travel agency.  So many people have asked me for advice and tips and tricks, and I realized that I could do the most good for others by helping them organize, plan and execute on the best vacations of their lives.  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!

My Travel Stories

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...Read more.

Great trip, Sandy made it very easy and enjoyable
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
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!
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.
