"Uh I'm not Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerburg?"

Today's guest is here to tell you that you don't have to be. Ariana from Points Chaser has gone one step beyond travel hacking. She is a teacher and blogger of luxury travel hacking, and specializes in "manufactured spending."

Hence her ability to spend over $300k in a single month and fly to Hawaii and Australia in first-class...as a freelance writer.

No billions required.

We chat about...
