I'm excited to have my new friend Matt Bailey is on the show today! Matt is a Canadian adventurer extraordinaire - he's done so many cool things that I wonder how he fit them all in to his life

Matt is a "life-long learner and explorer." He believes in crushing limits and living fearlessly - and he wants everyone else to do the same. So he started Live Limitless, a website where Matt shares his experiences and more importantly, his travel hacks. Matt is also the founder of Canadian Free Flyers, democratizing cheap travel!

We start the episode with a funny connection - I was a speedskater growing up and Matt tells us the great story about how he tried out for the Canadian Olympic speedskating team.

On this episode, Matt and I talk about earning miles on your credit card, how to get the most out of your travel budget, choosing your accommodation, and couch-surfing.

On this episode, you will learn:

* Travel Hacking basics
* How to apply for a credit card with no annual fee
* How to get the most out of your credit card miles
* Matt's travel adventures and other epic experiences
* How Matt tried out for the Canadian Olympic Speedskating team
* Couch-surfing!
