I’ve been traveling for free (or nearly free) for 10+ years and the most I think I’ve paid for international airfare was a round trip to New Zealand for $500 and the best deal was a $3800 trip to Sweden & Norway that only cost me $66 + 60k Chase Points!

So, I want to share what I know, meet others who I can learn from, and make friends who share a similar passion for traveling for free or as cheaply as possible.

I will discuss ways to travel for free or nearly free.

  1. How to find travel deals
  2. Strategies for earning travel points without actually traveling
  3. Differences between and best ways to use flexible travel points/miles and provider specific points/miles
  4. Mistake fares
  5. Best ways to find cheap rental cars
  6. Where are the lodging deals
  7. When to use points or pay cash
  8. Ways to travel as cheaply as possible
  9. How to travel for 4+ weeks with only a carry-on (+ small personal bag)
  10. Any other topic that uses legal, honest, and ethical methods to travel for free or as cheaply as possible.
