Credit Card + Travel Hacking For Travel Therapists

We've used credit card rewards to our advantage over our years as healthcare travelers (plus the flexibility of our Travel PT careers) to travel all over the world for cheap.

We've visited all 7 continents and over 50 countries internationally and traveling on a budget.

We've gotten over 150 free hotel nights, dozens of free international and domestic flights, and thousands of dollars in free rewards over the years.

Join us to learn more about how you can use travel hacking/credit card hacking to your advantage to travel for less.

Financial Independence & Semi Retirement as a Travel Therapist:

Who likes the idea of only working part of the year & taking off the rest of the year to do other things (like travel for fun, spend time with family, or pursue other interests)?!  

We do!!  So that’s why we have designed our lifestyles to be able to do just that!

We know many other travel therapists who have been able to design their lifestyles in such a way too! It’s all about choices and what you want out of life.

If you want to take control of how your life looks... and maybe don’t want it to look like working 40hrs per week 52 weeks per year til you reach social security retirement age... raise your hand!! 

We get asked a lot— how do I do what y’all are doing?!

Join us as we discuss semi-retirement, choices we’ve made to get where we are, and how you could do the same or forge your own path to design your life how you want!

If you could see yourself living a life where you only work part of the year and get to dedicate more time to travel, hobbies, family, friends, side hustles, self care, and pursuing other interests, be sure to tune in!!
