Andrea Schulte-Peevers

Andrea Schulte-Peevers has been a professional travel journalist and photographer for over 20 years. Her destination expertise is especially strong when it comes to Berlin, Germany in general, Dubai and the United Arab Emirates, the Greek island of Crete, and various Caribbean islands. Andrea has had a curiosity for other cultures and people for as long as she can remember. Despite a passion for her German home town, she packed her bags right after school, decamping first to London, then to Los Angeles, where she haunted the hallowed halls of UCLA in pursuit of a degree in English literature. Equipped with such credentials, she fearlessly embarked on a career in journalism, soon getting tapped by Lonely Planet for her Germany expertise. Andrea has traveled the distance to the moon and back in her visits to some 75 countries. In the process she has authored or contributed to well over 150 Lonely Planet titles as well as to other guides, newspapers, magazines and websites around the world. Among her favorite memories are swimming with sharks in the Galapagos, eating lobster in a rain storm on a deserted Australian island and greeting the new millennium in a village in Andalucia.
