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.
