\"About<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I’m Andrea Anastasakis, the traveller and writer behind Rearview Mirror, a travel blog dedicated to all things travel in Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m from Perth, Australia, but I’ve been living on and off in Europe since 1999. I’m taking a break from blogging while I’m back at uni studying sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll be forever thankful to my grandparents for taking me away every school holiday. Road trips and camping trips were the norm for as long as I can remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those years of exploring my home state opened my eyes to the world beyond my backyard. But I always wanted to go further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as I was able, I started travelling on my own, then with friends and always with my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My overseas travel started with Singapore and Malaysia. From there, I visited elsewhere in Asia. Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up was the United States with friends and then Canada alone. The West Coast is my favourite area in North America, particularly the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York, Boston and Toronto are always fun, but I also visited elsewhere. Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Denver and Las Vegas, to name a few. I even made it to Wyoming one time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But more than anything, I love Europe. It was my home for 20 years, and I explored the entire continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was in Europe where I became a full-time travel blogger. I made it my life and career. At least for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve now returned home to Australia to study for a Master of Environment at the University of Melbourne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I’m now focused on sustainability and climate change action, I’m not sure how I feel about promoting travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel benefits local communities in many ways but is incredibly damaging in others. Sustainable tourism is a complex issue and probably not achievable without transformative change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, for the moment, I’m using blogging as a way to reminisce about past travels. Remembering great experiences and friendships come and gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many years of experience help me when writing the travel guides you\u2019ll find here. I hope you can see the care I\u2019ve taken in creating guides and providing tips on how to travel more responsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
