Moments of authentic, human connection are why we travel.
My name is Andrea James. I combine stories and photos to celebrate customs and cultures around the world. Here are some of the ways I collaborate with others to make memories and share adventures.

Tour Companies
Tour companies hire me to bring itineraries to life and inspire people to travel with them. Actively making memories is what travelers want today. Images and stories highlight how travelers learn from locals and try new experiences. Emotions shine through in the details of people interacting.
Rice harvest, Cambodia
Freelance
Travel magazines publish my photos and stories, highlighting what is unique and meaningful around the world. I capture the pulse of a place, meet people making interesting things, and describe festivals and customs that inspire exploration.
I travel with a sense of humor and joy. I pay attention to all senses and immerse readers in what it feels like to be there.

Families
Families engage me as a personal historian and documenter of special trips, such as family reunions. I embed on your tour and enable families to stay off their screens and be fully present.
You can trust that I am capturing magical moments you can enjoy for years to come.
