Home to some 3.5 million people, Madrid is the capital of Spain and the country’s largest city. Though it’s somewhat sprawling, the city boasts stunning architecture, incredible food, and an energetic nightlife that stretches until dawn. Over 10 million people visit the city each year, and the minute you step out to explore, you’ll understand…

If you’re a traveler like me, chances are you’re always on the lookout for ways to make your trips more affordable. That’s why I collect points and miles: they help me lower my travel costs so I can spend my money on what’s actually important…which is usually booking more trips! One card that can help…

Balancing travel and remote work will always be one of the biggest challenges on the road. When you’re a digital nomad, it’s always a struggle to balance sightseeing and also get your work done in a nice, quiet environment. No one wants to spend hours searching for a coffee shop or be in one that…

I’ve been traveling for close to twenty years. In that time, the airline industry has changed a lot. The use of points and miles has become widespread, round-the-world tickets have gone the way of the dodo, airlines have consolidated, and there has been an explosion of budget airlines.
