Travel Hacking Explained: How to Turn Everyday Spending into Free Travel with Julia Menez

Today’s conversation on Your Partner In Success Radio is all about making travel more accessible, practical, and surprisingly affordable. My guest, Julia Menez, is a points strategy coach and travel expert who teaches people how to use credit card rewards, points, and miles to travel better for less. She began her career as an actuary, working in the insurance industry, and eventually discovered that she could turn something most of us overlook—our everyday spending—into meaningful travel experiences.

Julia has visited more than 30 countries, often using points to reduce or completely remove the cost of flights and hotels. What sets her apart is her ability to break this topic down in a way that feels doable for anyone. She focuses on clear, realistic strategies rather than trends or hype, helping people understand how to get genuine value from their cards and loyalty programs.

Whether you’re a frequent traveler, a business owner, or someone who simply wants to stretch their travel budget a little further, Julia brings approachable, actionable advice that can help you rethink how you plan your trips.
