In the 1970s, Andreas followed his mother in her travels around South America, living in Ecuador, Chile, and Peru. The family fled Chile in 1973 following the coup d'état that deposed President Salvador Allende's socialist government.{{Cite web|title=My Mother the Radical|url=https://www.brownalumnimagazine.com/articles/2017-05-01/my-mother-the-radical|access-date=2022-01-07|website=www.brownalumnimagazine.com|language=en}}
