About Us

Hi! We’re Dave & Lisa, an easy going, fun-loving, Buffalo, NY born & raised couple who have a passion for adventure and exploring the world! In fact, two short weeks after meeting, we flew to Chicago for a wedding. Originally starting with extreme couponing- we upgraded to the “Basic Travel Method” after learning how to Travel Hack. Travel Hacking is the art of utilizing credit card reward points to travel the world for cheap or almost free. Travel has forever changed us by teaching us new ways of living, exploring new cultures, overcoming obstacles and even growing stronger together as a couple.  Our adventurous side has had us swim with sharks in the Bahamas, scuba dive between two continents in Iceland, run away from monkeys in Thailand, jump out of airplanes in Hawaii, and even stay in a glass igloo in Finland. In Egypt, Dave asked me to be his travel partner for life. Travel tends to have its ups and downs, and a few short months later, I broke my leg in 5 places while in the Galapagos islands.

We have saved thousands in travel over the last four years on trips that we never would have thought we could afford. Now, we want to teach you all of our travel tips and hacks to travel the world for less money out of your pocket by using points and miles.  Our goal is to help you learn the skills to go on your dream vacation. If you haven’t already, be sure to read our free guidebook, and join our facebook insiders group.
