I caught the travel bug early when my parents moved our family from Sydney to Seattle for a year when I was 10. I remember being fascinated by how far we'd traveled — and how long I'd sat in economy class to get there.
My love of travel, inspired partly by periods studying and working abroad in Japan, Mexico and Spain, only grew stronger over the years. So did the number of hours I spent wedged into cramped airplane seats.
That changed when I discovered the world of points and miles about a decade ago.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
