I went on a “free” road trip to St. Louis, took a “free” flight to Cancun (paid the taxes), and now I am heading to Boston on a scholarship. This post is about what I learned in Boston. I am off in the summer, but I believe in professional development.

I will share five steps to save money to travel. Before I list the steps, I will share my goal for 2022 to earn a companion pass with Southwest Airlines. I surpassed the 2021 goal; I achieved A-List Preferred. Before you follow the five steps, think about your 2022 goals.
I will share 6 ways I use my Amex Platinum card to travel. I want to help you understand why I carry the Platinum card. My relationship with Amex started in 2001, and we are still together in 2025. I started with green, moved to gold, then moved to platinum.
