Come Visit Me at FTU Sydney!

Posted on by . 3 Replies

Sorry in advance for the short notice!

I found out just a couple of weeks ago that I was planning to be in Sydney at the same time as the Frequent Traveler University is happening this year. And even better, just last weekend, I agreed to come on as a last minute addition to the already awesome list of speakers!

FTU Sydney is happening this coming weekend – November 17 – 18, 2018, and I would absolutely love to see you there! Now, I know that it’s pretty unlikely that anyone is going to book last minute flights to Sydney to see me speak at the FTU, but it would be so fun to see some friendly faces that already happen to be in Sydney!

Also, once you set them, you’re done and all you have to do is watch, learn, and purchase. Continue reading →

Chase ended their Chase Offers program back in April leaving us with a promise of a new and improved one.

Do Europe’s Capital Cities Ranked By Cost Match Your Own Experience?

Posted on by . 5 Replies

Different cities can be wildly different in how expensive they are when you visit them. That may be stating the obvious, but sometimes the obvious just pops out at you.Whether the cities are in the same country or on the same continent, I notice the price differentials. Having just returned from Copenhagen, and having found it to be an expensive place to spend time, I was wondering how it measured up to other European cities. Continue reading →
