About Me

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.”

My name is Andrew Hickey and I am obsessed with travel. Constantly on the look out for a great deal to…well anywhere, I have visited numerous destinations around the world and never get sick of traveling. The “bug” bit me at a young age and the effects have just gotten worse each year!

My work has appeared and been referenced  in the travel sections of such media outlets as USA Today, New York Times, MSNBC , Huffington Post, AirfareWatchdog.com, Business Insider, Tree.com, Sherman’s Travel Media, AffordableTours.com, AOL Travel, Yahoo! Travel and more.

I hope you enjoy my ramblings and rants from around this amazing planet. Feel free to contact me with any travel related questions, tips, blog topic ideas or work.

    Hey Andy..I didn’t even realize this was your blog until now! I’m adding it to mine. Thanks for posting the bit about Spirit. Worst customer service ever. I might complain one more time and then throw in the towel.
