Danielle Desir is an author, speaker, podcaster, and founder of The Thought Card, an award-winning affordable travel and personal finance blog and podcast empowering financially savvy travelers to make informed financial decisions. Danielle paid off $63,000 of student loan debt in 4 years and purchased her first home at the age of 27. Having traveled to 27 countries and 4 continents, Danielle strongly believes in not letting your financial responsibilities hold you back from pursuing your dreams.
In today's episode, we discuss how Danielle got started with affording travel, monetizing her blog, and growing her brand into more a dozen income streams, which include sponsored travel, book sales, podcast coaching, and more! Additionally, Danielle mentions that one of her favorite streams of income is being an affiliate for products that she loves.
One of my favorite travel hacking products that I've talked about on the show before is the CardPointers app, which you can hear all about in episode 19, and this app answers the question, "which card should I use for this?" And I'm so excited to announce that I get to be an affiliate for them!
