What we do.
Coast to Costa organizes personalized, immersive trips to Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Spain, and Cuba. Each trip delivers unique, highly localized travel experiences with an emphasis on the culture of the region. Coast to Costa trips can range from a weekend to a couple of weeks.
Founder, Andrew Tyree’s, five years spent living in Spain have afforded him fluency in Spanish which has helped him gain intimate knowledge of the countries visited. With his unique blend of passion, intuition and insider knowledge, Andrew happily alleviates the stress-factors that often accompany foreign travel: speaking the language, knowing the restaurant owners, arranging the transportation, and making all of the reservations.
Each traveler can choose his or her level of involvement in the design of trip itineraries. Vacations can be designed specifically for you and your interests. Not bad. Right?!
Live like a local.
The best approach to traveling in a foreign land is to utterly immerse oneself in the local culture. Our mission? To make this happen on every level for our guests. We leverage our expertise and connections to provide tremendously unique traveling experiences that align with the favorite hidden gems loved by locals.
The entire group always stays in the same big, gorgeous, house, which may or may not have a pool overlooking a rainforest. 18 strangers, picked to live in a villa, an MTV-approved amount of alcohol at your disposal, and zero cameras (except your own). The groups are always capped at 18-20 people and the house is always glorious, with plenty of space for either relaxing or partying: whatever you want to make of it. Just like the locals.
The deets.

The crew.
Hi, my name is Andrew
and I’m the founder and trip leader of
Coast to Costa.
While living in Spain for four years, I developed fluency for the language and fell in love with the culture. My time there has given me the ability to create a local's experience, highlighting some of the best-kept secrets that cannot be found in a guidebook.
After moving back to San Francisco, I continued to work in the Spanish food and wine industry. In this role I was able to build relationships with the best restaurants, wineries, and Mezcal producers in Northern Spain and Mexico.
I have developed a totally unique, “insider's” trips that is easily accessible for the common traveler. With plenty of opportunity to explore the areas on your own, I am here to offer as much or as little guidance as you want, with at least one guaranteed outing or adventure planned for each day. After years of traveling and securing the best on the ground teams, we have grown our destinations to include Cuba and Peru.
This is Natalie,
the Marketing Manager of
Coast To Costa.
Natalie grew up in Los Angeles, where she lived most of her life before her love of fashion took her to pursue a degree across the pond in foggy London. It was then that her interest in travel sparked. After hopping around Europe, she moved back to Los Angeles, which brought her to meet her husband and Coast to Costa Founder, Andrew! After hearing about his ideas for Coast to Costa they realized with their strengths combined they'd rule the travel world.
You will most likely find Natalie eating her way through Los Angeles. She’s the happiest when she feels the sun shining on her face and hears good music in the air. She obsesses over music and can't stop creating new playlists on Spotify.

This is Thalia,
a Coast to Costa trip host in Cuba.
My Name is Thalia Roblejo! I'm 32 years old, I study English and French at the University of Havana. I'm married and I have a 4-year-old son named Abraham whom I call my "monito" (little monkey). I live with my husband, my son and my 9-year-old dog Mia in the North East part of the city, 2 miles from the beach. I love animals, music and traveling. I adore coffee, and nature related activities. I started working in tourism in 2012. I love bird watching, kayaking, trekking in the mountains, biking and watching American comedy shows and sitcoms. I'm a people's person. I'm a city girl but I appreciate the country side very much. I'm very talkative, easygoing and caring. I have never travel anywhere in the world but if I ever do it the first place I would really like visit is Machu Picchu, Peru. I love Coast to Costa trips because they are a combination of culture, history and art of Cuba. Through its well designed itineraries you're able to show people around while relaxing at the beach or the countryside. I love Coast to Costa because I get to show people MY REAL CUBA, its warmth and welcoming citizens and its outstanding architecture.
