These days, I’m traveling to multiple new countries each year, teaching how to travel for free, and hosting a points strategy podcast where I interview travelers from all walks of life about their points and miles strategies — and I do this full-time now!
It’s been a long road. I originally heard about award travel from different FIRE (financial independence retire early) blogs, and quickly became obsessed with the idea of getting to travel for free by using credit cards in a smarter way. However, as I looked around for ways to level up my game, I realized two things: 1. the best way to level up was to connect 1-1 (or in small groups) with other award travelers and 2. there was a real lack of diversity in the award travel community and among featured points and miles thought leaders.
Playing the game of getting luxury travel for next to no cost is one of my favorite things in the world. However, it can be discouraging trying to find people who you identify with who are also into points and miles. This is especially true if you are just starting out and are overwhelmed with all of the award charts and credit card offers, or worse, received a mean response on a forum making fun of you for not already knowing all of the intricacies of award travel when you tried to ask a simple question.
So I started points strategy coaching and launched the Geobreeze Travel podcast because
1. I’m just lonely sometimes, and I know some other award travelers out there are looking for someone to talk to too
2. To help people who have been afraid to ask questions quickly level up their game without feeling overwhelmed, confused, or judged
3. To spread points and miles to communities not normally represented when we talk about who gets to travel for free. Everyone should get to talk about getting to travel for free.
If any part of my story resonates with you, or you are curious to hear about how other points and miles thought-leaders navigate the game, please subscribe to the Geobreeze Travel podcast to hear the stories and tips you won’t normally find in larger points blogs. Also, please tell your friends this is where they can find other points people who I hope they can identify with!
