Amena Bakali from @hassansonholiday has been travel hacking for the last 5+ years. She shares family travel hacks and tips, and how to travel more while spending less. She teaches individuals how to leverage monthly expenses, and turn them into travel rewards for their family and lifestyle.
Her background is the nonprofit space where she loves working on projects, causes, and initiatives through various organizations where she can help them do good, better.
In this episode, Amena and I talk about a recent trip her family took to Costa Rica using points and how you can recreate these experiences for your next vacation!
If you’re just getting started with points and miles, one of the most popular starter cards is the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which transfers to many different travel brands we discuss in this episode, including Southwest and Hyatt.
Remember, please never apply for a card through Google. Always use a friend or creator’s referral links.
