Collective discovery

My Story

A Chicago beginning, a lifetime of travel and a belief that the best journeys change how we see the world.

Welcome. Every great journey begins with a story, and mine started right in the heart of Chicago.

Raised by a mother who worked her way up through the academic ranks at the City Colleges of Chicago and a father who founded the Chicago Latino Film Festival and the International Latino Cultural Center, I was taught from day one to honor culture, community and education, and to treat the world as a place to keep learning.

After visiting 25 countries, the idea of starting PS Travel Co. emerged. Deeply rooted in my Puerto Rican and Colombian heritage, my love for rich cultures and global discovery is in my DNA.

I created PS Travel Co. with one clear goal: to remove the fear of travel and open doors to transformative, effortless journeys.

To remove the fear of travel and open people’s minds to the beauty of the world.

Meet the founder

Andrei Vargas

Founder and personal travel curator

From the vibrant, soulful landscapes of my ancestral roots in Colombia and Puerto Rico to the sun-drenched coastlines of Greece, I curate bespoke, high-touch experiences for travelers seeking deep connection and authentic luxury without the worry or uncertainty of navigating new destinations.

For me, meaningful travel must also have purpose. That belief is guiding Citizens of the World as it develops thoughtful ways for travelers to learn about and express interest in supporting the communities that welcome them.

When I’m not curating travel experiences, I cherish time with my daughters, playing soccer and hitting the slopes to ski.

Whether you are stepping outside your comfort zone for the first time or seeking your next extraordinary escape, I am here to help you experience the world with confidence, connection and purpose.
