get to know the nerd

I am a self-proclaimed nerd who is obsessed with travel hacking! I am a wife to Brian and mom to Parker, and I'm on a mission to show my family and friends the world, one credit card sign up bonus at a time.

Also, I'm serious about the nerd part! I have a degree in Civil Engineering and am a licensed professional engineer. At my core, I am a problem solver and have never met a puzzle I didn't like. I love games that involve strategy and long-term planning, which is why I think I fell in love with travel hacking! I also love a good spreadsheet (I wasn't kidding about being a nerd), and appreciate an organized travel itinerary even more!

This blog was born by combining my passion for strategy and problem solving with my love of travel hacking. What started out as a tiny spreadsheet to help my family and I travel to Hawaii has transformed the way we travel. I want to share it with you to help you and your family realize your travel dreams without breaking the bank. 

There is a wealth of information on this hobby - believe me, I have done the research! What I continually find is people struggle with understanding the 'why' behind the overall strategy. There are a lot of nuances with travel hacking, but it is my mission to break things down in easy-to-understand pieces so you feel empowered to develop your own strategy and make travel plans for nearly free.

As a visitor here, you are part of a fun and supportive community. I encourage you to follow me and engage on social media. I love answering questions and tailoring my content to what interests my followers!

Thank you again for being here and supporting me! I love knowing I can make an impact within my small corner of the internet. 

If you're just starting out and feeling overwhelmed, click here to begin at square one. This is the same information I first learned that set a solid foundation for my travel hacking journey.

Looking for something specific? Check out the blog and the FAQ page, or send me a message.

I can't wait to hear about your first travel hacking experience!

In spreadsheets we trust,
