I am a wife, a mother to four incredible kids, and a follower of Jesus. I found out about credit card points in 2021 from my physical therapist, who gave me a crash course in travel hacking while he rehabbed my shoulder. Despite his excellent pitch, the whole thing seemed daunting. It wasn’t until I bought tickets to see Taylor Swift in Sweden that I decided I finally needed to figure out this whole travel hacking thing. I opened my first card, hit the minimum spend for the bonus and ended up racking up enough points on that one card to buy my whole family of 6 our very first flights to Europe (both ways!) And that was it! I was hooked. When I’m not traveling or trying to travel, I love hanging with my kids (most frequently in the car) and spending time at my favorite place in the whole world - my home :)
