Andrew joined the AwardWallet team in February 2023. Having a British father and a Greek mother, experiencing different cultures was in his blood since before birth.

Andrew attended the University of Michigan and received a Bachelor of Arts while focusing his studies on Pre-law with the goal of crushing law school. But in the summer of 2010, Andrew took a 3-month backpacking trip around Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, and his life was changed forever.

From that moment forward, Andrew knew that he wanted to live a life of travel. He traveled to 51 countries and lived in 12 of them.

In addition to traveling the world and creating new experiences, Andrew enjoyed playing a game of football or tennis with friends, winning tons of money playing poker, bumbling his way through new languages, supporting Detroit & Michigan sports teams, and helping out with stray dogs in and around Athens.

Unfortunately, Andrew George Bradshaw passed away in March 2025, just days before he was set to move back to Greece to be closer to his family.
