I fell into the world of points and miles after college, when I started reading blogs like The Points Guy and One Mile at a Time.
My first big win? Snagging a first class ANA seat to Tokyo using Aeroplan miles, back when Air Canada had access to that sweet spot. After that, I was hooked.
I love uncovering sweet spots on Roame that others miss. When not digging through award charts, I'm probably hopping between airports, espresso in hand, and always searching for the next great redemption.
