Episode 1: Travel Hacking Podcast pilot

Why did I launch the Geobreeze Travel podcast? When you Google “travel hacking blog” (or really anything related to travel hacking content), most results will point you to the same ~10 blogs, and nearly all of these blogs are written by people who are male, pale, or both. It’s almost impossible to find travel hacking content from creators who do not have time to build up a huge online presence — including women, people of color, or creators who focus on platforms other than blogs.

Enter the Geobreeze Travel podcast. I launched a podcast to connect on a deeper level with the travel hacking community, especially those whose points of view are difficult to find with how SEO works today.

In the Geobreeze Travel pilot, I describe how this will be a show for anyone looking to level up their travel hacking lifestyle. I’ll be interviewing travel hackers from all walks of life about how they approach the game of points and miles and travel for next to no cost.

Julia has been a speaker for FinconX and has led a travel hacking workshop for thousands of registered attendees at the SHEFACTOR 2020 Launch Your Life Summit, an event that featured speakers such as Bethany Hamilton, Kaitlyn Bristowe, and Missy Franklin.

Meet Your Host

Julia Menez

During the pandemic, Julia was stuck at home and wanted to talk to more friends about points and miles. So she reached out to some points people on Instagram and the conversation went something like this…

Julia: hey, do you want to hang out on a Zoom video chat and talk about points?
Other people: no…. I don’t even know you.
Julia: what if I record our conversation and release it to thousands of people on the internet?
Other people: Oh! Are you starting a points podcast? I’d love to be featured!

And thus the Geobreeze Travel was born, if only to bamboozle other points people into being friends with Julia.

P.S. She’s always looking for more points friends. Click the “let’s be friends!” button to send a pitch to be featured on the podcast.
