Right fit

This is for you if

  • You travel a few times a year and suspect you're overpaying for all of it.
  • You've read about points and bounced off how complicated it looked.
  • You want the gear answer without reading forty reviews.
  • You'd like the admin to take an hour a month, not an evening a week.
Wrong fit

Skip it if

  • You want to maximise every last mile — there are obsessives who teach that better than I do.
  • You're after country guides or itineraries. This is logistics only.
  • You never leave your own country.
Outcomes

What you'll have at the end

Not "an understanding of". Actual artefacts you can point at.

  • A points setup that runs on two cards and about an hour a month of attention.
  • A repeatable booking process for long-haul, including the exact search order I use.
  • A connectivity plan per region, with the real cost per usable gigabyte worked out.
  • A packing list built around your actual trips, not a generic one.
  • A pre-trip checklist that's caught every problem I've had since I started using it.

From students who finished it

“The eSIM breakdown alone saved me about $600 across one trip.”

Tom FeldbruggeProduct designer, Amsterdam

“I'd bounced off points twice before. The two-card setup was the first version simple enough that I actually kept doing it.”

Rachel AmoahAccount manager, Dublin

“Three hours long and I've used something from it on every trip since.”

Kenji MoritaEngineer, Singapore

I've been running an online business from wherever I happened to be since 2017. I teach this because I got most of it wrong first, expensively, and writing it down is the only way I've found to make that cost worth something. More about me →

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

The principles are universal; the card recommendations lean toward the US, UK, EU and Australia because that's where most readers are and where I can speak from experience. Regional notes are called out clearly.
It'll get you meaningfully cheaper ones, reliably, on a normal amount of spending. Anyone promising free is selling you something.
It's shorter and the topic is narrower. Pricing to length rather than to what the market will bear seems like the honest way round.
