Roam Smarter.
Rooted in what matters. Roaming where life calls.
I believe travel can be both grounding and expansive — a way to step outside your routine and still come home to yourself.
Sometimes it’s a spontaneous weekend getaway with a sound machine in the cup holder. Other times, it’s a five-star hotel booked on points, complete with a plush robe, good bottle of wine, and a moment of actual peace. Either way, travel — for me — is about choosing experiences that fill you up, not drain you.
Here, I share how we make it happen: using points and miles to go further (without spending more), building flexible itineraries with space to breathe, and embracing the joy in both the plan and the inevitable detour.
You’ll find everything from trip ideas and packing tips to honest stories — like that time I forgot my passport or sprinted through Cairo airport to make my flight.
This isn’t about doing it perfectly. It’s about traveling in a way that feels aligned with who you are and where you’re at.
You can be rooted in what matters and still roam where life calls. I’m just here to help you do both — with a little humor, a lot of heart, and maybe a free upgrade.
