Abigail Akinyemi from @theladywhotravels_ is a travel enthusiast and she's always on the hunt for a new adventure. She enjoys traveling solo all over the world and gives tips on how to do so safely as a woman of color. She's known for planning unique and exciting trips with a blend of luxury and affordability. She's also one of my private coaching clients, and I'm so proud of all that she's been able to accomplish with her points journey in just a few months!

In this episode, Abigail and I discuss her first big trip on points where she took a birthday trip to Italy and Portugal and got so many fancy upgrades and amenities! We reference the free hotel upgrade email template in this episode. If you'd like the template, check out www.geobreezetravel.com/download-gifts.

If you're looking to get into points and miles like Abigail, one of the best cards to start with is the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which allows you to transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to many different partners mentioned in this episode including United, Singapore Airlines, Hyatt, and TAP. Remember: never apply for credit cards through Google. Always support a friend or creator's travel habits by using their referral links.
