How it started

I was born and raised in the heartland of Iowa. My love for travel truly blossomed during a three-month study abroad adventure in Greece. I lived in Greece for 3 months, but we also had a 10 day spring break to go wherever we wanted! I was the one who took charge and immediately started planning which countries to visit, how to get there, and what to see. I ended up booking flights to Rome, Amsterdam, and Barcelona. This experience opened my eyes to the beauty of exploring the world and I have been hooked ever since!


I soon discovered that traveling can be quite expensive, so I began exploring ways to make it more affordable. I started learning everything I could about credit card rewards and points systems. I found a way to visit luxury places for a fraction of the cost! This method has been incredibly rewarding, and I am eager to share my insights with others.
