Latest posts from our adventure

Our little family is big into traveling all seasons. Last autumn, with California weather being so great, we went to San Diego, Carmel-by-the-Sea, San Francisco, and even Las Vegas. While during snow season, we visited several ski resorts in Utah. In April, we spent our entire spring break in multiple islands in Hawaii. And we just got back from a summer trip to Europe full of cultural, architectural, and culinary experiences. Check out all the fun places we have been to!

Those that know me well will tell you that one of my passions in life is to look for money-savvy ways to travel the world…in style. I am always looking into finding the best ways to accrue miles and points and redeem them for an over-the-top vacation so my family can travel the world. Sometimes it means exchanging American Express points for a 4 pack of Around-The-World flight tickets, and sometimes it means staying at high-end hotels such as Ritz Carlton or Park Hyatt.
