Get Started here!
In the throws of planning a romantic getaway and are completely lost? Have no idea where to start, or you’re wondering how you’ll ever stick to a budget or even how to make a realistic budget? Not sure where to go? We’ve been there.
Hey there! I’m Kat, and that’s my husband Chris and I exploring the beauty of Peru. Over the last several years, we have:
- Traveled to a combined total of 30 countries
- Flew business class round-trip to Southeast Asia
- Frolicked with elephants in the Thai countryside
- Ran 7 half marathons (and 1 marathon) across the country
- Explored the mysterious ruins of Machu Picchu
I know what you’re thinking. “How in the world are they able to afford this?!” The truth is, just a few years ago, we could hardly afford even a family trip to Gulf Shores for a week. Since then, we’ve discovered money-saving tricks to scale back our spending and allow us to save $35,000 in a YEAR alone and pay for our wedding and honeymoon as well as make extra student loan payments.
AND THAT’S NOT ALL!
We’ve also saved over $25,000 in travel on top of that! How do you ask? In February of 2017, I opened my first travel rewards credit card. Flash forward 4 years, and we’ve been able to:
- Collect millions of miles and points
- Fly round-trip in business class to Asia for $60 a person
- Use our points to book flights for my parents to go to Europe in premium economy for $11
- Use our miles to book a dream trip to Peru for less than $100 a person
- Travel throughout the US for less than $15
Combine that with other money-saving strategies for travel, and it’s easier than ever to travel more for less, and sometimes in a little luxury too.
