I’ve been traveling and living abroad for almost ten years now, and these are definitely the BEST travel credit cards for points and perks in 2023! I have all of these cards despite the high annual fees. It’s probably not necessary to have both but the perks make it worth it. So I will explain the benefits of each one, what I use it for, and why I recommend it. Also if you click my links (they are referral links) you get extra bonus points if you sign up and spend money in the first few months for some of them! What the Big Deal is About Credit Cards for Travel with Points and Perks The keywor ..read more

Raise your hand if you want to know how to avoid Airbnb’s high fees! Seriously though, how much does it suck when you think you’ve found a great deal, then when you go to book, Airbnb adds on a couple hundred dollars in fees? No bueno. While it is slightly more risky to avoid them (and slightly risky for me to even post this), sometimes it has to be done. That being said, please do not blame me if you need to cancel or something and can’t because it’s not “through” Airbnb. Only take this advice at your own risk and if you accept full responsibility! Also to protect the hosts I’ve stayed with ..read more

Five years ago almost every Antarctica expedition company denied my pitch to collaborate with them because “my demographic and I were not their target audience”. I was a twenty-nine year old solo female traveler and blogger, and despite my large audience and establishment in the travel industry, it meant nothing since we weren’t “Late-50’s, retired, married, and male.” Today, five years later, I have just completed my third expedition to Antarctica, and I have brought over one hundred and twenty guests, 95% of which were millennial women. Full honesty, while I am so proud of this, and my group ..read more

I’ve just returned from my third expedition to the 7th continent, and this time it was an 11 day Antarctica Peninsula itinerary. Most of the itineraries for this trip are fairly similar, but always remember; EVERYTHING is weather dependent! This was my 3rd expedition to Antarctica hosting my IG followers AKA “MyLifesATravelTRIBE” The 11 Day Antarctica Peninsula is the cheapest option for going, and literally takes you to “just the tip” of the actual continent. But don’t be deterred that you’re not making a trek to the actual South Pole. Because the area around the Antarctica peninsula is absol ..read more
