CBD Living Travel Kit: Review

One kind of cool thing about blogging for a long time is that once in a while companies reach out to you with something they want to send you for free to review. I’ve been really lucky to get several pairs of eyeglasses and contacts to review this way, but for the most part, I…

Is Global Entry Worth It?

Is Global Entry Worth It?

And now for a small break into a post that has nothing to do with Coronavirus, just a reminder that there was a world before, and a hopefulness that there will still be the same old world after. I have flown a lot over the last year. Definitely more than the last several years combined.…

Resetting on Travel Hacking

Resetting on Travel Hacking

Guys, I love travel hacking. It is absolutely not for everyone, but if you pay off your credit card balance every month (like, every. single. month.) then it might be awesome for you too. Travel rewards cards often have astronomic interest rates. If you miss a single monthly payment, it’s not impossible you can knock…

Staying Entertained During Long Layovers

There’s much to love about traveling, as we all know, but it’d be wrong to suggest that it’s all fun and games. It positively isn’t.

Is the Prague City Card Worth It?

Is the Prague City Card Worth It?

I’m a huge fan of most city cards. I absolutely loved using them in London, Dublin and Hawaii. However, I have also found the Amsterdam one to be pretty useless, unless you just want to go to a ton of museums. With that in mind, I think it’s a good idea to always do a little…

Learning from Gen X

Guys, the other day I clicked on this click bait article aboutwomen and mid-life crises, expecting to read about how my future has a hot 20 year old guy and a fun new car in it and instead it was an article all about money. I mean – 90% money – but I was shocked…

The Cost of Five Days in Iceland

The Cost of Five Days in Iceland

If you’re planning to travel on a budget soon, I do not recommend Iceland. It’s easy to hack the basic travel, but life up the North is pretty pricey – especially food. Here’s a quick breakdown of the financials for this trip: Flight: $541.11 (-$731.11 in airline rewards) Hotel: $344 Blue Lagoon + Transport to Reykjavik:…
