You’ve stumbled across the beginnings of my travel blog experiment. I hope to use this blog to share my adventures as I travel the globe and tips & tricks I’ve found along the way. Of course, no travel blog is complete without detailing how you can get there too, so I’ll also be sharing some of the strategies I use to travel without breaking the bank.
What You’ll Find on The Journey Above
The world of travel blogging is a competitive space. While I won’t be sharing every piece of travel news (I’ll leave that to my colleagues over at Boarding Area), I hope to bring a fresh perspective to the table in the areas of guides and reviews. While I do leverage credit cards, miles and points, and other strategies to travel in premium cabins and hang out in airport lounges, I also take plenty of flights in economy, stay in hostels, and prioritize public transit on the ground. You won’t find fancy spa treatments and $1,000+/night hotels here – instead, I hope you enjoy how I take a hybrid luxury/backpacking approach to travel.
In addition, while I’m far from a professional photographer, I hope to share with you many of the incredible places I’ve been through photos and videos. Keep an eye out for new content on YouTube and Instagram in addition to the blog.
Getting Started with Travel Hacking
A good portion of this blog will be focused on the subject of “travel hacking” – getting the most out of your travel while reducing the costs involved. If you’re new to the world of miles & points, I will be publishing guides and tutorials to help get your feet wet. I’ve been in the game for a few years and still have a lot to learn, so I’m right there with you. Feel free to jump into the comments as well if you have any questions or want to see something covered on the blog – I’d be happy to help!
Thank You!
This blog won’t be possible without you, the reader. I hope you find the content here helpful in furthering your travel goals. See you on the blog, and thanks for reading!
