Show Notes

Kyle and Kenz from @adventure_parks have been married for over four years now. During that time, they have traveled to more than a dozen different countries while experiencing luxurious business and first class cabins and staying at incredible hotels and resorts – all almost exclusively with points and miles. They love all sorts of travel – from tropical island escapes to outdoor hiking adventures to immersive cultural experiences.

In this episode, Kyle, Kenz, and I talk about their incredible trip to South Africa! We’re talking flights, hotels, excursions, and how to do these types of trips if your main airport is a small airport and you have to plan around school schedules when you travel.

One of the products we discuss in this episode is QSuites, which is a bucket list flight for many points and miles people. One of the best ways to book this product is with American Airlines miles, and currently the only flexible points currency that transfers to American Airlines is Bilt. If you’re looking for a no annual fee card that transfers to many different airlines and hotels, has fun and unique perks like giving away airline status on occasion, and even lets you earn points on rent, check out the Bilt card. I’m a senior advisor for their loyalty program, and am so excited about all the cool features the card comes with!

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.
