Getting Real About Travel: How to Travel the World and Not Quit Your Job

As a travel blogger, I get the opportunity to write about all the great adventures I have been on to share with the rest of the world such you guys. What’s even better is that I am not alone. There are a TON of other travel bloggers out there. If you take a look on Twitter or Instagram, you can easily find travel blog after travel blog. When I started out with travel blogging, I took the time to look through other travel blogs to get ideas and see where others had gone. At times this field of blogging can leave me envious and other times it leaves me motivated to get out there and see the world.

Redeeming Alaska Miles for International Trips

I am proud to say that I had booked my flight for Ireland a couple of weeks ago. Yes, The Trekking Cat never stops trekking! While doing so, I also had to muddle through some pages on Google and figure out how to actually redeem my points. There aren’t many posts on how to redeem Alaska miles and so I figure this post can help some of you who are equally as curious and struggling with redeeming international flights with Alaska.

Advice from a Frequent Traveler

It has been a little over a year since I started a journey of non-stop weekly travel for my first big-person job and it has been an amazing experience. But with amazing experiences come a lot of growing pains and mistakes along the way. Learning how to live out of suitcase became a reality that I had to adjust to and adding vacation on top of that does not make it any easier! In fact, I have an upcoming Eurotrip and 2 weeks of business sandwiched around that so learning how to pack for nearly 5 weeks will be an interesting one.

Scoring Free Flights on United Airlines

As much as I love to travel, I also hate blowing a ton of money on flights. This fall Ben and I will be trekking across Europe for 2 weeks on free flights via United Airlines. The best part about this deal is that you don’t need a blog or some other gimmick to get the same thing. All you really need is to do 2 things: open up a United MileagePlus Explorer credit card and meet the requirements to get your bonus points.
