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!
