Let's put to rest the silly myth that a frugal or FIRE-focused lifestyle can't also be an aesthetically-pleasing one, filled with loads of lovely adventure!

Let's talk global points and miles adventuring for families, made easy. Points and miles travel doesn't require a George Costanza wallet fat with 40 active cards, and it doesn't mean you need to engage in Beautiful Mind-level calculations. In this episode, I share the details on booking a dream family trip to four destinations, requiring 25 airplane tickets and 45 hotel room nights... while keeping it easy breezy. And most importantly, we talk about how you can do the same, while maintaining your sanity.
