Obsessed with travel
I have a passion for maximizing travel through credit cards and points. After years of researching, optimizing, and booking trips that punch well above their price tag, I turned that into a practice.
I'm a certified advisor through Fora, one of the leading travel advisor platforms, and have earned First Mate Gold — the highest tier — with Virgin Voyages. I specialize in cruises and hotels, with a particular talent for making sure every trip comes with perks most travelers don't even know to ask for.
