Six years ago I had a goal of traveling more with my family. I wanted to introduce my kids to new places and different cultures. My husband and I are both teachers, which meant we had time to travel, but the funds were short.
I started to look into the world of traveling with points and miles. I thought it had to be a scam or would turn out to be a lot of work with nothing to show for it. I was so wrong!
Traveling with points and miles has changed our lives.
Since then we’ve taken our kids to twenty countries and forty US states. A few things that wouldn’t have happened without points and miles: My daughter was able to develop her French skills at a language immersion camp in southern France. We wandered bazaars and met camels and monkeys in Morocco. Our kids learned about history in a hands on way through exploring Maya archeological sites in the Yucatan, visiting a Cold War bunker in Prague, and visiting castles and fortresses in Spain, England, Czechia, and Austria. We spent a sobering and solemn day together at Dachau Concentration Camp.
The opportunities my kids have had in the last six years were beyond my wildest dreams when they were small. I remember telling a friend that I hoped to save up enough money to take them to Europe at least once before they graduated high school. They’ve been to Europe five times!
