#018: Travel Hack Tips from a Frugal Traveler

When's the last time you went on vacation? Has it been too long to even remember?!

We get it - traveling is hard for a multitude of reasons. The biggest: The expense.

The average vacation costs about $1,145 per person. And when you're on a tighter budget, perhaps you're paying off credit card debt or student loans, or maybe you're working hard to build up your 401(k) and emergency savings accounts, it can seem like travel is no longer within your financial reach.

Joining us on the show is Sunny Burns, founder of FamVestor.com. Sunny shares how he used credit card hacks to travel:

roundtrip to Japan with his wife for $30on a 5-day cruise from Puerto Rico to New Jersey for $250 per personAs well as a three-week backpacking trip through five different European nations with a six-month-old for less than $2,400!

So what exactly is credit card hacking?
Credit card hacking is utilizing credit cards and especially credit cards with high bonuses to gain lots of miles very quickly and then using those miles to get free flights.
