After paying off my student loans (thanks for letting me move back home to save money, Dad!), I came to a new cross-roads. Now, instead of being a broke new grad drowning in student debt, I had some (keyword: some) money to travel. But, I knew I should save and invest for the future.

Travel rewards have become the best of both worlds for me. Now I can save money for my future AND live out my posh travel dreams.

my travel style

If you’ve come to realize that how you get to the destination can be just as fun as the destination, or just want to sip champagne in the sky - you’re in the right place 

After graduating from college drowning in student loan debt, I desperately wanted to pay off my loans - and fast. After a couple months on a rice and beans budget, I quickly realized I needed to find a way to actually live, but still hit my financial goals. As a fresh 22 year old out in the “real world”, I wanted to travel. I thought - if not now, then when? 

I started scouring the internet searching “how to travel on a budget”, I dove head first into the world of credit card travel rewards! Now 6 years and $100,000+ worth of travel redeemed through credit card points, I’m on a mission to teach all my fellow moms, wives, and globe-trotters how to do the same. 

I’m a wife, mom, cold brew coffee addict, golden retriever lover, and credit card points nerd.
