Andrea Milam
Editor of Destination US Virgin Islands

Andrea Milam has lived in the Caribbean since 2005. Enamored with the region’s culture, food, music, people, and natural beauty, she moved to St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands after graduating from college. There, she got married, built a home and a family, and established her writing and editing career. Experiencing the way her island community came together following a direct and devastating hit by Hurricane Irma only further fuelled her love for St. John and the Caribbean as a whole. Andrea's work has appeared in regional, national, and international magazines. She was appointed as the editor for Destination U.S. Virgin Islands | British Virgin Islands in 2019.
