About
Unleashing the power of credit card points, I craft dreams into itineraries, turning wanderlust into reality as a travel hacker dedicated to curating aspirational journeys.
Travel style
I like to do everything at least once, so hostel backpacking around Europe, solo travels to Japan & Hong Kong, all-inclusive in Mexico. I enjoy a mix of luxury when its worth but also don't mind the minimalistic side of traveling.
Next on the bucket list is a surf trip to Australia or Bali or spending a month in South America with no itinerary planned.
Expert on leveraging credit card points as well. Currently hold 12 different cards & I don't plan on stopping there!
