HLP096: On the Secrets to Traveling for Cheap (or Free!) with Kevin of the Financial Panther

Some of you may remember Kevin from Episode 32 where Kevin shared his story about paying off $87,000 in student loans in just 2.5 years. I’ve invited him back on the show to talk about one of my passions, traveling! My word for 2018 was “adventure” and I was determined (for the first time ever) to use all of my vacation days! A big part of how I made that happen was through financially savvy travel hacking.

 

Disclaimer: I would not recommend travel hacking for anyone that is bad with credit cards, struggling with controlling spending, and/or doesn’t have a great credit score.

 

Otherwise I hope you all enjoy this fun and informational episode!

 

What you’ll learn:

 

  • An update on Kevin’s journey
  • What travel hacking is
  • Why Kevin got into travel hacking
  • The basics of travel hacking
  • How travel hacking can affect your credit score
  • Where to start as a beginner
